Vauxhall V6 Engine Plant Ellesmere Port uk 

great engine. mine runs nearly 400.000km.

I visited the Plant in April 1999. I was working at a Saturn dealership at that time. This engine went in the Saturn L series

Love this engine! It's the finest engine ever placed in a Saab. The B308E outperforms all the 4-cyl Saab engines big time. Maybe some have more hp with the turbo. But nothing compares to the torque and the bottom end from this V6.

i have an omega 2.6 v6 and it is awesome. 196hp on dyno (chip+k&n filter) 259nm. i love that car, it has some minor issues like central lock, but i would like to keep for long time. i bought it with 150k km in it, now it have 170k km. i change oil around 8000kms. nice sound, plenty of power for me, and if i want i can drive it economicaly. at summer around 8.4 litre per 100km, on highway around 9l, on country roads 8l. in the city it can go up around 10L.

Вы крышки почему пластиковыми сделали? Чтобы нам нескучно жилось?)

Had a cavalier V6 from 1997 to 2005. Engine bombproof though replacing alternator was a pain. Averaged 33mpg. Bit flat low down but went like stink over 3500 rpm. I would imagine M494ODP is long gone now

I had X25XE in my Omega B.And a Z32SE in my Signum.Now a Z32SEAH (10HM) in my Antara.GM .

Superb. Was a cracking place to work.

As far as I know it was to make the unit more compact. Vibration I would imagine would be minimal.

Just noticed at approx 3 minutes in, the heads have 4 combustion chambers.....

Can any technicians/engineers help me understand why they chose the 54° bank angle instead of a 60° bank angle, and how they managed to overcome any imbalances in the engine that could otherwise have resulted in excess vibration and harshness? It sounds like a V6 like no other when you rev it.
