its a 54 degree engine and yes firing oder is 1,2-3,4-5,6
http://calibra-classic.org/docs/vaux_v6_engine.pdf
but i did some mods on it it has cams from 3,0 engine so it breaths easier , fitted lighter flywheel .... so its now about 195-200bhp.
i think that its bad diesel here ,not maintenance, opel insignia and blows like hell.
as far as maintenance comes in question same parts are here like in your country.
in mine opinion you bought wrong car , i would buy an alfa with this beauty
no offense but when i see chip tuned diesel on motorway in reality i se this
chip tuned diesels mostly end up blowing black smoke while accelerating
something like this
but thats mine opinion and every body has one
i done this once, they build a new stretch of road 12km long and there's no traffic at all . so i hit 240 kmh its approximately 150 mh in mine opel calibra v6.
i dont know how do you feel about wauxhals here opel the first vectra in England cavalier was made as 2,0turbo 4x4 and they are easy to tune up from factory 204bhp but as a standard they are quite fast for 20+ year car and from outside they look as standard cavalier vectra till it blows you off...

yesterday visited a friend nearby and unplanned i bought a new set of summer wheels
pic is when it was freshly mounted it dropped a little bit later after i drove it home
no not an upgrade but necessity , it was rattling under the bonnet so i change it .
upgrades and cet... are waiting better weather and a little extra cash.
me to i changed vectra /or in England cavalier /for this. vectra had same engine as this but this has much better body work .
when i tried this engine i wouldnt buy a car with another engine in it.
i didnt post anything for a while ,its because weather is crappy here and mine garage hasnt any heating so for now all work will have to wait till spring. but calibra is in every day use and all is well for now.
European bumpers dont have that v its only in England versions, it have an opel badge there and it can be taken off as its part of the mesh so its easy as changing the mesh from older bumper.
things left to do - for the interior im looking for a leather seats , exterior nice factory bumper maybe from cali last edition becouse i would like to keep stock look. engine i dont know time will tell
