Astra 1.7td....Isuzu engine ?

Feb 21, 2005 3 Replies

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.
