We've got a pair of factory fit LPG Vauxhalls, an Astra and a Vectra. The Vectra has been an absolute star, doing airport transfers almost every day and never (touch wood!) letting us down!
The Astra on the other hand has been hell. We bought it from a trader who "didn't know" about the faults it had, and although most of the mechanical ones have now been ironed out, the misfire problem still exists. This is it...
It's a 1.6 Dual Fuel "Comfort". I ran it to the areas local LPG installer a couple of days ago for a diagnostic and his results came back that one of the LPG injectors had "gone". Apparently, if you run it on petrol it's fine, but if you flick it to LPG the engine shuts down the cylinder and won't use it again until the fault code has been cleared. He told me that it would need to be replaced with an identical injector, that they're as rare as hens teeth (and after checking Ebay I see his point) and that it would be more economical to fit a new system.
I have, however, been told that it "might" be possible to replace the injectors with a type from a different system... and that's why I'm really appealing for help before I just disable the LPG and run it as a "spare" petrol taxi instead.
It hasn't had it's filters checked, the diagnostic was the only work done... so does anyone have thoughts on this? Is it dead or is there hope for the old girl?
