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

Stress free option and I'm also getting them to do a couple of bits.

First things first I'm getting them to do the rear griffin gloss black and also getting them to colour match the grey plastic on the rear bumper.

I lost my GTC and visor lights fitted
Afternoon guys

So after Abit of a long wait my led lights came for my visors yesterday so thought I would finally get rid of the yellow and get the visors to match the rest of my interior.

I also have a led rear reverse light that came to fit but it seemed a bugger to get my hand it to get the original out so thought I would leave this for the mo.

I've also been wanting to get rid of my sri badges and the gtc and cdti since I done my astra one so finally got round to doing that also.

Garage scratched my wheels.
Hi All,

Took my car in for a couple of new front tyres. Not only did they leave my wheels covers in white gunk but both have marks. The garage has accepted responsibly for one (only just noticed the other). They said they will send it off to be re-lacquered will this sort it? Images should be attached.


Thanks,
Matt

My mpg
Finally started driving my 1.7cdti with a lighter foot.
Massive difference in fuel.
176 miles off 18ltrs gave me 45mpg
Recently using a heavy foot been getting 35-38
Been using the shift indicator that pops up to change up and tried keeping revs at 2k or less and spent only £20 in a week using it daily

What's others getting?
