VXOC Astra-J/GTC

From 5 meters it looks ok.




Not too happy with the result. Little gap in right rear so gonna fix it somehow and color is not too good.

It was a experiment anyway, when I catch rear and front spoiler a proper paintjob will be done, and not by me.. =)

And yes, I polished and used some wax seal so the finish become better.
Used Teroson 9220 from Henkel to glue it and Finixa tape on the edge.

Hey,

24/10 04:50 I start my car for another work day. The yellow engine lamp warn about something, but no problem to drive, slow as usuall. :P

I called Opel to do a quick computer check, they say it could be EGR-valve or fuel filter, two most common problems.

26/10 04:55 No problem anymore, engine warning gone.. but suddenly it felt powerless, just like the turbo pressure was gone. I stopped at closest lit up parking and saw nothing wrong and no further problem occured.

28/10 Opel plug in their computer machines and related the problem to EGR-valve which seems to be semi-stuck. Gonna replace it with a new valve.

Car has passed 150,000 kilometers so I guess its ok.

Winter wheels on today. Norwegian forecast snow on thursday and temp dropping wednesday.

Before:

After:


Soon time for yearly check-up.. not know what the english call it, pherhaps "mot" I have seen here.

We had snow two weeks ago.


Car also served as plow, a workhorse. 

Workshop changed EGR-valve and engine runs great. ~3000 sek poorer.

Passed yearly inspection.


OBD-check was unable to connect to car, so they put a "good to know"-notice. Seems like this is common problem, thier own equipment cant read all manufactures languages or something.

Have told myself to keep the car until it passed 200,000 km..

Not looking forward to the snow

I wouldnt mind 3-4 decimeter snow on christmas holidays, so I can go cross country skiing, but it looks like its gonna be rain. Still 3 month in 2017 that can be cold and snowy so finger crossed.
