All my online searches have proved futile here in the UK. The part seems to be readily available and cheap in the US, but would like my issue fixed sooner haha. Anyone know where to source the GM part at cheaply before I trudge down to the Vauxhall dealer and spend a small fortune?

Issue is trouble starting after refuelling, looked it up and its a common problem with the 2.8T engine in the Vextra VXR and the Saab 9-3 Aero (I have a Cadillac BLS 2.8T, just an Aero/VXR with different bodywork)

GM part number is 12593485 (that is one of them, there are several that work from my research)

I bought this part for my evap purge valve problem, I had it fitted when I got my car serviced for about 20 quid. This particular part comes with a bracket that is not needed, it comes off easily though.

If your car has the issue where after re-fueling it takes a bit of cranking to get started, and then splutters into life. This will solve it 100%

ETA: My part came from Las Vegas in a couple of days, although it would seem the link I gave (which was the original one I used) doesn't ship internationally anymore, weird!
