2 issues on my 1.7 astra
Hi guys, two things that have started happening so hoping someone has experienced them.
Firstly, on first start (so cold) while accelerating car sounds like screaming when you would normally hear a whistling. Goes after 10 secs or so and only on first start up.
Hoping maybe a small hole in boost pipe and not the turbo starting to fail!
Also got the "Turkey gobbling" noise back maybe connected?

Second I noticed at mcdonalds drive thru. Window down to pay and pressing brake pedal can hear a noise

Cheap Astra J 1.6 Cluster
I asked the seller of this item if it was pulled with our without tech2 and they told me it was without tech2 and because i told them that it probably wouldn't be much use to anyone as it can't easily be programmed into another car, they said they would drop the price from £50 delivered to £20 delivered!

Could be useful if anyone wants to upgrade theirs and ask ***** to code it for you or anyone who just wants to strip it down:

1.7 CDTI idle unsteady
Hi guys 

So yesterday I drove from Norfolk to West Yorkshire ~150 miles and noticed that now my car is idling a bit odd, will idle fine then the revs drop a little & it almost chugs a bit, then goes back to normal and the car idles ok again, then the cycle starts again.

What gearbox oil ? 1.7 cdti
Hi guys I got the astra 1.7 cdti as you prob all know the gear box is crap lol,I have read up on changing the gear box oil ... Most people say that the vaux one is shot they basically use the same for power steering ... I was thinking of using thishttp://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=181494589911&alt=web

Astra J 1.7 engine chirping and pressure
Astra J 1.7CDTi exclusiv 2010

So I have been letting my issue develop and I still don't hav a clue what the causes are.

No:1, chirping/squeal from engine, does it on idle and now does it when Reving the engine, I'm pretty sure it's not the aux belt because this sounds more at the back of the engine. Once cured by replacing fuel filter but hasn't worked this time.

No:2, engine breathing really hard for no reason what's so ever, has anyone had this problem before? Other minor things that co

Has anyone blanked an EGR on a 1.7?
So my 1.7 CDTI 125 is idling funny & I'm wondering if the EGR is playing up. Has anyone blanked it on this engine? I'm not fussed about having the EML on but wondered if it's as easy as it looks? (To me, EGR looks to be to the right of the engine cover right on top of the inlet? 

Cheers
