Hi all,

After a previous post about intermittent lack of power, and having replaced the EGR valve with a brand new one, another fault or previous one now getting worse.
In gears 4-6 if the revs are below 1500 rpm there is a pronounced juddering from the engine at any throttle input until about 1800 rpm but it’s more pronounced in 5th and 6th. I’ve physically checked the turbo and it’s free with no excess play, the vacuum pipes are all whole as far as I can tell, the swirl flap actuator is free

Could someone let know what size brake discs are on the GTC  1.4t  120 2017. 

Thanks

Hope your all well and keeping busy with your Astra's, I know I am.

I'm here looking for info on the crankcase ventilation of my GTC. I have serious a vacuum in my crankcase/head causing bad whining or squealing when the car is warm.
Its definitely the vacuum causing the squealing as when I remove the dipstick or oil cap it stops dead.
I'm thinking a PCV valve is causing this but im unsure on how the system works on these cars.

Hello guys.

I am sorry if someone already questioned about this. So i own Astra J 1.6 turbo SIDI 170hp with code A16XHT. I wonder if the "updated engine A16SHT with 200 hp is the same , but only different software. I talked with a guy in the local dealership and he told me it's just software " these extra 30hp" . Sooo, can somebody give more info about this .

Hi New to the forum and after a bit of info, just bought a 2014 1.6cdti with a snapped oil pump drive chain, Is this a common problem and any ideas what causes it, looks a bugger of a job, the owner was quoted £1800 at the garage hence selling it spares or repairs. 
any info would be appreciated
     cheers

I wonder if anyone else has wanted a visible exhaust tip for their 1.6cdti 5 door? On the 2.0 cdti you can see the exhaust under the rear bumpers valance, does anyone know if its easy to swap over from the 2 litre car? Or could i just buy the bumper insert and a backbox after that? (Im led to believe theres little point in getting anything performance related for a diesel exhaust?)

Thanks in advance!

So 77 000 km behind and 10 years, outer and timing belt not yet changed. Heard that when changing outer belt you have to release the tensioner by taking the right inner wing away etc. Is it so? Any tips. Perhaps time to do timing belt, too? Is it normal job (done V6 several times so basically I can do it but never touched 1.6). What is timing belt change interval? How about water pump? Recommendation for kits?
