Hello guys, which size of wheels and tires would you recommend for a 1.6CDTi with 110hp?
Currently I'm using winter tires 215/65R16 with 6.5J steel wheels. I want to buy some ALU rims for the summer and new summer tires.
Found some good 17" rims, but at 18" there is even more to choose from. Would 18s be uncomfortable? Or too big for this engine?
I found info for the 136hp engine and recomended sizes go up to 235x40R19 with 8J width, but I cannot find info for my engine.

I was thinking abo

Hi all, has anyone out there got a J or K with this B16DTH (LVL) engine in, that has had trouble free motoring for many thousands of miles? Just trying to find out how reliable this engine is.

My car was in that service mayme half of year before and thet sensor was completely changed .. as gay said... bud now is the bad message back, with same error code.. any ideas ?

A few months ago my car started consuming around half a liter more of diesel on a regular basis. I thought maybe it was the winter weather, but the winter was very mild here in the end. Now the temperature is usually pretty high, as we are approaching spring, so I'm having a hard time finding temperature the problem.

I waited to see how the car will behave after doing a yearly service - oil change, new oil filter, fuel filter, air filter and also changed the timing chain oil tensioner because

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

She looks sporty but it’s neither a sports car nor was it ever driven that way.

It’s been well looked after and I’ve been its 2nd owner since November 2016 at 13,181miles on the clock. It’s currently at 44,040. FSH, 7 stamps of which 6 were done by Main Dealer (see pics). Two keys and V5C are in my name.

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?
