Welcome back to the VXOC FORUM.
Sorry for our lack of support over the last year but MYBB is back and so are we.
Let's get the forum buzzing again... (March 25, 2022)x
I realise i'll probably get lynched just for making this thread lol but I REALLY like the exterior door chrome trim on the higher models and mine doesn't have this :(. Was wondering if anyones aware of any sites selling this chrome trim at a decent price?
I know the proper chrome trim is built into the door frame itself but I've seen stick on stuff which looks exactly the same but it's been over £120 which I think is a rip off!
Sigh! I thought I'd seen the end of the sloshing problems in my car but now I have a new one :(
I can hear what sounds like A LOT of water sloshing around in the boot area whenever I accelerate, break or turn. I used to hear this noise when I first got my car and it was the fuel in the tank because my tank didn't have baffles. Vauxhall eventually fitted some baffles and that was the end of that, never heard anything since then until today!
Got in my car for the first time in a few days and can hear these really loud water sloshing noises.
Hey guys, I have been wondering about additives, I know its a controversial subject but I would like to know your opinion on this subject.
First, I have an Opel Astra sports tourer 2011 1.7L 81kw Diesel break. I use once er month premium diesel that has additives in it, the difference I felt over the regular diesel is slightly better response of the engine, but that's it.
Second, of what I red is that there is 2 types of additives. Oil additives & Diesel/petrol additives. both have different roles, from my understanding Diesel additives collects the water particles and makes them bigger so that the diesel filter can catch them without letting them pass to the injectors, also removing any carbon residuals. The engine Oil additives makes some kind of seal around the pistons thus making them more efficient ?
My questions are :
Are additives good ?
Do engine oil additives give a boost in power & makes the engine runs smoother ?
What about premium diesel additives? Are those better than normal diesel with manually added additives ?
Is there any kits about to fit front driving lights next to the indicators Thanks again for all your help in previous items I have sorted wheels nuts and pedal covers CHEERS
I'm STILL waiting for delivery of my astra and have become worse than a child when it comes to patience.
I've been cycling around all astra forums and have noticed people changing their bulbs both external and internal for LED bulbs. Now that last astra I owned over 5yrs ago was the coupe so there were no issues with regards to canbus etc. Can you guys guide me in the right direction for the appropriate bulbs needed.
Ideally I'd like to change them all for LEDs, or at least a bulb that is going to be white as opposed to dingy yellow. I've already got a pair of polarg drl bulbs waiting to be fit once I have the car (courtesy of a thread on here I found out about these!)
Thanks in advance.
