Opel Astra parts reviews

Also, you should probably go with NGK spark plugs because if you put Bosch ones that are made in China/Russia you are going to have a baaaad time

ich in meinem Astra J 1.6 Turbo (A16LET) nur das Öl fahre, was Liqui Moly empfielt. Läuft bisher gut.

Mobil Super 3000 XE 5W30, hat die Dexos2 und kostet online regelmäßig unter 30€ für 5l. Lief bei mir mit dem gleichen Motor jahrelang im Astra.

I've been putting 10w-40 ELF 70 STI regular oil in my 1.6 petrol from '98 for 3 years now with no issues.

This Rotella T run looked good.

Eu personal folosesc un set de Kumho Solus 4S HA32 all-season pe un Opel Astra. Sunt per total mulțumit dar, în cazul meu, pare că deși sunt marketate ca “all-season” ele de fapt sunt cauciucuri de iarnă. Se comportă foarte ok pe condiții de vreme rece dar se uzează mult mai repede decât mă așteptam.

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.

water pump on an Astra. Should have come out easily but whoever put it in used a shitload of some adhesive or some shit, and it was rusted as hell. Ended up having to break the pump into fucken pieces to get it out.
