Vauxhall Vectra starting problem

Unfortunately mate its not good news on these engines.

If it takes ages to start its the leakoff pipes (the little pipes that go to each injector
Letting air in the fuel and runs back.
Worst case it could be the injector seals
Or a faulty fuel pump.
Very common issues unfortunatly

Been there done that. If you need anymore help I'll try to recall what I did for you

Thanks for that tony if you could remember what you did would be great thanks

Try this. First. Very simple to do

Check your fuel. Is it oily black colored.?

It means the injector seals are leaking. Air and oil into the system this time
This is a bit of a complicated job.
Vauxhall thought placing the injectors under the camshaft was a good idea. Involves removing camshaft.


If its poor starting from warm. I would say the pump is at fault.

Quite a lenthly process also but possible

You need to remove the fuel injection pump and have the little black box on top of it repaired.
When I had one done it was about 300 pounds. But solved the starting issues.

Very common faults and I would defiantly say its one of these that you have

Thanks for that tony the car seems ok when hot only when left for a while

Ok of it was just after been stood I would say the injector leakoff pipes are a go!
