word of warning - i too have the 2.2 direct petrol vectra and the swirl valve failed. after removing the inlet manifold and replacing it we realised that one of the flaps had disintegrated and it appears to have ended up "eaten" by the engine! result is 2 cylinders with damage - one has no compression, one very little so next step is head off etc. Bill currently running at around £500 and likely to be substantially more so if the valve is stuck, chances are you could have further problems!
