Note that earlier 3.0 diesel automatic Vectras with the Y30DT engine have a maximum permissible towload of 1400kg (the estate is limited to only 1200kg and Signums to 1300kg).

The respective figures for the later Z30DT variant are 1600kg for the saloon and Signum, and 1500kg for the estate.

Manual 3.0 Vectra diesels have higher limits.

hi why not try the vectra 1.9.tdi which has 150 bhp and will tow upto 1600kilos good tow car.

Only the Vectra saloon and the Signum 150PS 1.9CDTI have a 1600kg limit, the estate is rated at 1500kg.

Thanks for your replies, those limits seem low for a large engined car.

They do seem to be low towing weights to me.

I believe my 06 Mondeo hatch 2.2 tdci has a max towing limit of 1800kg.

Oh.With the new van arriving soon...its for sale..wink wink..lol

Here's a list of Vectras/Signums with higher towloads:

2 litre turbo (petrol) Signum & Vectra Estate - 1700kg

2.8 litre turbo (petrol) Signum - 1700kg

2.8 litre turbo (petrol) Vectra Estate - 1800kg

3.2 litre (petrol) Signum - 1700kg

3.2 litre (petrol) Vectra Estate - 1800kg

3.0 litre (diesel) Signum - 1700kg (manual only)

3.0 litre (diesel) Vectra estate - 1800kg (manual only)
