Re: Vectra A 2000i 16V

It is a front wheel drive, I am not really searching for performance but more for sustainability.

Re: A french driving a Cavalier

Thanks !
I have received today my new radiator and the tank for the coolant liquid. I would like to change the hoses and found SAMCO kits but not sure if they are the right ones for my car and they are really expensives!
Do you know other brand that could be less expensive?

Thank you!
