The 2017 Holden Colorado range of configurations is currently priced from $8,888.
Our most recent review of the 2017 Holden Colorado resulted in a score of 7.4 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Vani Naidoo had this to say at the time: With a tighter on-road performance, sharper design and fairly generous inclusions, the Colorado makes a strong statement. The Space Cab certainly has that rugged toughness and the power on tap needed from a hard-working vehicle but at just $3000 shy of the top-of-the-range 4X4 dual-cab Z71, you have to question the value equation. At the very least, handing over that extra money will get you a much nicer, more practical backseat without sacrificing performance.

This is what Vani Naidoo liked most about this particular version of the Holden Colorado: Quieter, punchy engine, Refined handling, Revitalised interior
The 2017 Holden Colorado carries a braked towing capacity of up to 3500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
You may have a collection of problems rather than just a single one. The vibration through the steering wheel could simply be the vibrations from the diesel engine travelling up the steering column and into your hands. Does the vibration go away when you rev the engine to just off idle? If so, perhaps an adjustment to the idle speed is all that is required there to move the engine out of its resonant patch.
A vibration in the cabin could be a worn wheel bearing, out-of-balance driveline, a worn torque converter, broken or worn engine mount, broken exhaust mount, damaged tyre, a wheel out of balance and plenty more. But the play in the front driveshaft coupling would be a smart place to start looking. Again, the problem comes and goes because of the harmonic periods inherent in things that spin very quickly. Any out of balance problems can easily show up as transient vibrations inside the car.

No, there was only one automatic gearbox, a six-speed unit that was vastly more popular than the other choice, a six-speed manual. For the 2017 model year, Holden upgraded the automatic transmission with what’s called a centrifugal pendulum absorber torque converter.
This absorber was a type of dampener designed to reduce vibrations form within the torque converter and improve the driveline’s smoothness. But this was applied to all 2017 Colorado diesels, meaning the transmission differs from a 2016 or earlier unit.

Since both variants of Colorado here use essentially the same engine, I’m not sure what sensors would be different and require changing. That said, the MY17 Colorado got recalibrated hill-descent and hill-start functions, so maybe there are some differences there.
The major mechanical difference that I can see between a 2014 and a 2017 Colorado is probably the power-steering. In late 2016, the vehicle switched to an electrically-assisted system in place of the previous hydraulic set-up. So the later engine would probably lack the pulleys and mounting hardware for the hydraulic power-steering pump that your vehicle requires. Perhaps they can be removed from the old engine and fitted to the later one.
Perhaps an easier solution would be to return the engine originally supplied and ask for the correct version for your car. If the engine supplied originally was not fit for purpose, then you’ve every right to ask for a replacement unit that is.
