Hi all, Just got hold of a vauxhall astra 1.7td on an n plate. It has a blown head gasket and needs the rear wheel bearings replacing.
Anyone know how to identify if it is the GM or Isuzu variant engine fitted ? Its got the intercooler on the passengers side and the turbo is just behind the radiator...?
Also how hard are the berings to do ?
Cheers all, Gary
PS - pics of engine bay avaiable if this woud help.
Isuzu - it has the injection pump at the back.
Bearings are't too bad to do. Perfectly doable with a hammer and punch for removal, and a hammer/press and suitable socket/bit round bar for refitting.
Thats the Isuzu motor.
