I have come across a J 1.6 cdti136 which is ticking a lot of boxes at the moment.

Has anyone got or had any experience with this engine? any issues and can it do 50mpg as stated on Honest John's
Real MPG forum??

Any info would be welcome as there is a lack of iit anywhere on the internet for this engine apart from reviews from autocar, top gear ect....must admit Clarksons write up was very complimentary for this particular engine.

ill probily go for tinted windows but have read quite a few people say they wish they could buy, 1 piece rear sun screens,

Good morning all. Has anyone had any experience with chipping these? Have been looking at getting a pro bitz chip. Looking for advice really. Car is as standard so was also thinking of adding a k&n panel filter too..would this be ok?any point? Basically looking to increase torque and maybe improve mpg a little...?
Completely new to modding thanks in advance.

Hi all,

After a wile looking on this site i wanna share my car with you all.
I've seen some nice update's others did here and i wanne change it on my astra to.

My first car is a Corsa B 1.6 GSI.
I have it now for 6 years.
It became a to big project so i bought 3 years ago a Astra J 1.6 Turbo

and the astra

Fourth gear seems to make a more prominent noise/drone than the others, it seems to happen going upto around and down to 30MPH.

Am I being too picky or do gearboes more this sort of noise, by the way it's not very loud.

Purchased approx 5 weeks ago direct from racechip.de

With original packaging, documentation and invoice/warranty

The only thing missing is the original black cable ties (as I used them), but, I'll add some white cable ties in if required

Fitted to my 2.0 cdti, currently on map 3 out of 4 settings (which can be easily changed)

Very simple to fit and adjust the settings

Removed from my car today as I am going to be moving the car on for an Astra J VXR

Hi folks,

Who has this engine A16LET in their J/GTC?

What improvements have you done to it?

What mpg are you getting?

Overall opinion on this engine?

Cheers

Hi,
just got a bit of a mystery when i went to the dealers.
His card reader says my Astra is 92kw, but my registration says its 81kw.
How can I physically tell the difference?

Thanks!

Has anyone taken a turbo from the 1.6T Astra J and installed it on the non-turbo engine?

I'm looking into doing it to my 1.6 non-turbo Elite.

Any information would be awesome and I also apologise if there's a thread that already exists for this. I couldn't find any...

Cheers!

Has anyone encountered a very annoying 'humming' sound coming from behind the glovebox in an Astra J upon starting the engine? (1.6 non-turbo in my case) I can't take the noise anymore...

I've read that could possibly be something wrong with the heater-blower.

Cheers!
