only happens some times at slow speeds and i low gears, should i be worried? it seems to be coming from the opposite side to the gearbox

Mice???



Could the squeak just be an engine mounting rubber?


BTW, it is not a good idea to listen too attentively for squeaks, clonks and other noises. That way madness lies. Just wait until it goes wrong and then fix it.

A wise mechanic's words to me once: "Let it develop."

My manual makes a few squawks now and then, especially if pushing hard then letting go all of a sudden. Is there a waste gate on the turbo with these - it sounds to me like there could be.

it could be the EGR actuator that kicks @ about 2000rpm, which is normal and it's sounds like an actual spring squeak and it has been discussed extensively here and on vectra c forum.

aww thanks guys stopped me worrying now

i went to asda tonight twice i had to stop and pull away again once at roundabout once at traffic lights, both times car seemed like it didnt want to go it just creped along when i touched go pedal, then would pick up and shoot off

EGR valve?

This was my first fault too! Then the...

sunroof
battery
alternator
springs
etc...

how do i fix that then?


ive got my eye on some nice FK springs but no money yet, but will get them when i can just incase

looking at other thread people are saying Check engine comes on if there is an egr fault, i have no message or light

read posts on cleaning, think i'll have a go at that anyway

A Leaking Hose On the turbo?
The Pressure is too low to open turbo's gate
When you get abit more pressure the turbo opens up and away you go

Ziggy

EGR valve fault doesn't automatically evoke engine warning light. I suspect this is the most likely cause, it was how mine behaved.

New ones can be had on fleabay for less than £100. (Vectra C or Saab). there are two different types. The one for the 8v motor is a three bolt fixing, the 16v is a four bolt. Also best to fit a restrictor plate (FIAT) for a fiver, helps to stop it sooting up.

There is another thread about this

thanks ive seen other thread, but i still dont know where it is

Have you got eLearn?

yes but it dont seem to run right on my puter, davren give me some tips to get it working so will try it again later

got it working better (elearn not car) still cant find egr valve on it, do they call it some thing else?

Some of the terminology is a bit strange - I think it's been translated from Italian by an Italian.

I haven't got eLearn installed at the mo, but I can always find what I need by browsing through the various section headings. Aim towards the exhaust and you should bump into it.

elearn discs always confuse me, meant to go library and see if they had a haynes manual for a vectra c but I forgot

ive got this far, but once i am on a page like this i cant click the links on it, i just get an error page
