2.0 CDTI Induction?
What do you recon, is it possible to fit an induction kit or something to the 2.0CDTI, I don't really care about the performance thats why I'm getting a remap, but what I am trying to replicate is the noise my Old Mini Cooper D made. Basically a bit more noise from what I can assume was the turbo or induction kit from research, to make it sound a little nicer under acceleration.

2.0 CDTI Stop/Start and the DTUK RED BOX
Vauxhall have issued an update for the ECU for all 2.0 CDTI 160/165Ps with Stop/Start.

There has been reports that this is stopping the DTUK RED BOX working correctly, DTUK are aware of this and have worked on a fix for it although the fix might not work for all at this time.

I emailed DTUK this morning to find out where I stand as I already own the box I was told

2 wierd issues
Hope you can help, the first issue is:

1. A strange noise coming from my front right brake when breaking, doesn't happen when im stood still and pump the brakes, the best way to describe the sound is like a ratchet getting tighter the harder i push the pedal.

2. A clunking/knocking noise only when i go over large bumps or potholes,

Please help

Mapping 2.0cdti 5 door
So I'm planning to map my 5 door once my warranty runs out but I've got a few questions, please respond with corresponding numbers:
1. How much am I going to pay, I want the best
2. Can I opt for bhp increase AND mpg increase?
3. What are the downsides of a map?
4. Why don't manufacturers out these maps on in the factory?
5. Can anyone recommend any good places to get it done

Spare wheel for Astra J from 2.0 CDTi [SOLD]
For sale is a spare wheel and tool kit for a Astra J 2.0 CDTi so  It's a 16inch spare so I don't believe it will fit the GTC's  I know it doesn't fit on the VXR.

The carpet that sits under the spare and the bolt that secures it.

Thorney Motorsport Tuning Box - Astra J - 2.0 cdti
As it says above. Run on my car for about 8k and worked faultlessly.

No box, but supplied with fitting instructions. Unfortunately when I was removing it I broke one of the surrounds to the plugs. It still fits perfectly and won't move or pop out.

Comes complete with a blanking plug to return car to normal if you wish.

TMS Link gives figures etc. - http://www.thorney.ms/tuning-box-template-2151.html

These retail at £500.

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
