2003 2.0DT - basil fawlty impressions..... - kamikazekev
IDEA`S PLEASE >>> ive gotta 03 vectra `c` 2lt.dt , no probs for the first 155,000 ( YES .. 155,000 ) miles but now has developed a very anoying fault that has baffled a vauxhall main dealer and another garage . It starts first time EVERY DAY no matter how cold , BUT if I drive 1-2 miles , stiop for 20-30 mins it takes 8-9 goes to re-start + I do a good 007 smoke screen impression.....Once warm its fine all day BUT if I go to use it after 3-4 HOURS PARKED the same fault is there . P.S. NO fault codes showing on 2 computers , and all servicing etc up to date

any ideas please.....

{didn't spot 3 separate requests to include the year & engine details in the subject header then?}
