OEM Audi Power steering fluid
satanizr
  • Steering assist:
Rating 4.0

Probably transmission fluid for power steering. ATF is actually what you're supposed to use anyway on many cars. Even if you're supposed to use a specific power steering fluid, ATF works just fine.

Pros: ATF works just fine
Vehicle: Opel Frontera

BRIDGESTONE Tires

Good all arounder with excellent levels of grip both in dry and wet and superb fuel economy.

Pros: excellent grip, superb economy
Cons: average feedback, noisy
Vehicle: Opel Insignia

OEM Opel Fuel filter

Replaced the filter on my 1998 Opel Vectra and the stuff that poured out of the filter looked like used engine oil. Oddly enough the car ran fine despite that.

Pros: car ran fine
Cons: filter looked like oil

TRW Brake pads
junnis12
  • Braking:
  • Noise:
Rating 3.0

Changed the front brake disc and pads (TRW brand) on my car (Opel/Vauxhall Astra J 2016) and noticed my car started to smell heavily burnt rubber after heavy braking when the car stops. I understood that brakes does this in the beginning but now it has gone s month and probably around 150km (100miles) and I also have made some emergency brakes from high speed to speed up this process. So two weeks ago I removed everything and really deep cleaned the caliper and checked the pads. From smelling the pads it seems like it is the glue between the brake pad and the anti squeak plate that cause the smell (?) I also checked the temperature of the brake disc after normal usage and they are all around the same temperature, so I doubt it is a frozen caliper. (Around 70c 155f) but still they smell, maybe a bit less.

Pros: easy installation
Cons: burnt rubber smell
Vehicle: Opel Astra J
Mileage: 150 km
