Nice run around though, bargain aswell!

My mate has the 1.9 150 in his zafira and has nothing but problems with egrs and all sorts. I take it this is exactly the same engine?


150's are shit. They just fall to pieces.
These 120's are fine but they suffer really really really bad for water leaks. Seriously

There's a pipe under the thermostat housing that is stupidly common, and there a pita to change too






looking through the history it had a water leak examined a few years ago, hopefully they did something about it and i wont have to


Glad to hear it the pipes only about £15. Just we're its located is a pain to get to.

It's like doing an alternator belt on an MX5. Easy to get the snapped one off, hard to get the new circle one back on

Coolant pipe, air intake pipe and PAS belt all need to come off

We should have a race, Alfa vs. Astra, 120bhp on paper for the both of them, I've got 300 less cc's than you though
