  1.6t performance mods
Posted by: SteveMcS - 4:th-Apr-2017, 21:12:06 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (2)

Hi all,

Just curious as to what performance mods were available for the 1.6t. I don't here about this engine much and modifications are even rarer.

I'm currently planning what I want done so I can start putting together an order of things to do and so far my list is:

1) Exhaust (still to decide cat back/ full system etc)
2) Intake
3) FMIC
4) Stage 2 Remap

but I was wondering if there's anything extra I can do to get a bit more out of her. Any body know of anyone fitting bigger turbo? injectors? anything else?

And before the "should have bought a VXR" comments, my circumstances were different when I was buying. Plus, the build is often more exciting for me than driving so i'd prefer to buy an underdog and modify it over buying a fast car in the first place.

Any help appreciated! Thanks in advance!

  Astra light in footwell
Posted by: Jon_es - 4:th-Apr-2017, 01:57:38 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (2)

So i have had an idea, so in some bmw's there is a light which lights the footwell but what we could do is put a light (like the boot light) in the centre console next to the gear stick and wire this into the light around the gearstick.

  Trip Computer on Mid-Level Display?
Posted by: A10HUY - 3:rd-Apr-2017, 09:50:43 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (4)

Hi there,

I have noticed loads of different dis-activated lights on my mid-level display, one of which is a light of a fuel pump.

Does anyone know if there is a mpg/trip computer that can be turned on in the mid level J display? I wouldn't see that Vauxhall would put lights and things in there if they didn't do anything.

Cheers in advance

  Dry, almost grinding type noise from front wheels / discs area
Posted by: rbull51 - 1:st-Apr-2017, 17:03:21 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (2)

I have noticed a strange noise on my astra j. The noise sounds like when a brake disc lip may be slightly rubbing / touching the caliper. However, it is not this making the noise. The noise happens all the time. It doesnt change if i brake, turn left or right and it doesnt change with clutch or gear changes. If i push the car when it is off i can still hear it. Possibly from drive shaft area?? Has anyone else had this?

  Turn Signals and Wiper Stalk Switch
Posted by: Doraemon02 - 1:st-Apr-2017, 02:53:29 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (1)

Hi Guys,

So my switches to turn on/off the turn signal and the wiper stalk make a cery flimsy noise when I put them on/off.

The one for the wiper is the worse... as if something is broken.

Is there anything that I can do?

Thanks
