    Owned this Vauxhall Sintra 3.0 cdx since 2004 and only had battery and pads and discs renewed. Done the work myself and found parts on line. But today the heater wasn't blowing out hot air, checked the coolant level and lots of brown gunge came out of the filler tank for water....head gasket me thinks.

    I love my Vauxhall Sintra! Comfortable; reliable; variable `goods' capacity - fantastic with `2 up'; very tight with `7 up' (difficult to get a picnic in!). Handles my luggage trailer very nicely. I look forward to quite a few more years pleasure.
    Roomy & comfortable! Very fast on M-ways if you want it to be. Mine is an ex-demo, bought for a good price @ 3mths old (Dec '98). Has been properly serviced annually - MoT 2006 and 2007 shows CO Limit 0.200, actual val 0.017 (Fast Idle), CO limit 0.300 ...

    I've had my Vauxhall Sintra 8 months come with full service history 1 yrs MOT and 3 months warranty for only £1900 which I thought was good it had a new abs sensor under warranty and all its cost me in 8 months is coil pack for £20 from scrapyard modified wiring made a Vectra 1 fit and exhaust front to back including cat at £215 delivered from online automotive and driver side headlight at cost of £100 brand new from Vauxhall spares.

    Since we bought this Vauxhall Sintra a few months ago we have been riddled with problems, oil leak form the adapter seal by the filter, cat went, only £80 new fitted myself, we did 300 miles and still had fuel left over, but you got to drive sensibly or you will see it drink!
    After browsing around and a few phone calls, it works out for all body parts etc for this is easier and quicker to get from the states! postage is nasty but still cheaper!
    We did look at other MPV but this stood out ...

    A good family vehicle, with lots of room for 7 passengers and luggage.

    We all grumble about prices but I dont think the Vauxhall Sintra much differant than any other car these days. All in all very happy with my Sintra and air suspension is good when towing twin axle caravan. I don't find mpg bad at all. It is a big car with nice 200 bhp engine

    I brought my Sintra 2.2 cd 6 years ago and have fixed almost everthing possible, all Sintra made between the first and last all suffer from the same mechanical failure. My steering rack broke out side my house after I had just drove it back from a long journey. I replaced it my self only to learn that there was a recall from Vauxhall on steering rack but they didn't have my details on their system so I didn't get a letter. When I contact them about the one I had fitted to see if that one could b ...

    Had my 'S'plate 3.0 CDX for four years now and it has 95K on the clock. Overall I love to drive it. It is certainly quick in a straight line and bags of power for seevn big people. The problems I have suffered I would class as bearable wear and tear - water pump (easy to replace and not costly), front discs, pads, cam belt (dealer said every 80k, but had mine done at 70k to be safe). The disappointing things are the electrics are shocking! When windscreen wipers are going the empty fuel tank war ...

    The Vauxhall Sintra 3.0 CDX Auto v6 people carrier is a pleasure to drive every day and it's never let me down. A bit pricey if you put your foot down but worth it for this American luxury MPV.

    Headlight glass came loose after 80k on my Vauxhall Sintra 3.0 CDX auto, removed them and resealed and now all ok. Water ingress into the driver bulkhead, this was found to be a loose pipe in the water washer pipes. Super glue was used and now this is also all ok. Having seen a Sintra with 140K on it and looking great I might say, I feel that this is a great car and would recommend it to anyone. It's only down side its the fuel it uses, but even with that aside this has to be one of the best aro ...

    Bought my Vauxhall Sintra 3.0 CDX MPV with genuine 20k miles on the clock (4 years old) and found it a great car - for the first couple of months that is.
    Water pump was the first to go at 22k, track rod ends at 25k, rear brake disks needed replacing due to warping even though they were virtually unscored at 20k, front disks followed for the same reason at 35k. Now, at 42k front shock absorbers are beginning to bottom out on bumps and will need replacing soon. Not to mention the battery which t ...
