    Vectra trouble please help!

    Just drove 150 miles today to look at a vectra for sale 2.0 CDX DTi (diesel). Liked what i saw and bought it. When i got home i noticed a a tapping/poping noise from around the middle rear of engine. Im going to be taking it in to Vauxhall next week but hoped someone may have a clue
    Also after checking the oil i noticed its not black or golden but more like a merky watery grey

        Need a bit more to go on really.
        Did the noise start after you switched the engine off?

          Didnt really notice on the motorway and we stopped a few times, it seemed like the long journey done it. The poping increases in speed when the revs are higher

            Really hard to pinpoint the problem over the internet.
            Could be one of a number of things. At worst broken piston ring (ticking/tapping noise) or simple like something rubbing against the pulleys/drivebelts/alternator.

              Had a look on the vectra owners club and it seems like a common problem and its fairly easy problem for a garage to fix. Not sure about the oil colour though

                On a brighter note, the CDX is a cracking car. I used to have a 2.5V6 CDX spanking new as my rep mobile. Had all the toys and went like the clappers. Not driven a 2 litre diesel so can't comment on the poke.

                  It feels good on the motorway which is why i bought it really, nice interior.
                  Just started it up and the strange noise isnt there now??
