Hi everyone ?

Just thought I'd pop in and say hi since I've just purchased a 2012 Astra gtc 1.4 turbo (120).

I have a few questions about the car if anyone can help me. Firstly, what is the difference between the 120bhp and the 140bhp 1.4 turbo? Obviously 20bhp, but is that just down to the map or are there also physical differences?

Can anyone tell me what sort of power these engines are capable of and what sort of power can the clutch, gearbox etc take before running into problems?

Hi everyone - my 1st post here as I'm shortly coming back to the exciting world of vauxhall ownership after flirting with VW for a couple of years (Golf mk6 TDI).

I am buying a 15-plate 2.0 CDTI Elite which has a CD400plus with DAB and Bluetooth.  I'm slightly (but only slightly knowing Vx) surprised it doesn't even come with a USB connection but I understand this can potentially be retrofitted.

The other thing I'm hoping to do is get rid of the 90s style orange GID that Vx still in

Hi Guys,

there's an obvious difference in hardware:
One's 1gig or fam and 16gig of storage
the other one is 2gig and 32gig respective

Hi, just come from a 2013 110 DS3 to a 2015 2.0 CDTI SRI Ecoflex 165 Astra, very impressed so far, but missing the kick in the pants of the narrow power band of the DS3, already looking at tuning boxes, lol 
I hope to learn more on here.

Hi guys. Picked up my Vauxhall Astra Gtc today. Can honestly say I'm in love! It's in deep sky blue. It's a 1.4 Sri Sport turbo with the VXR Styling pack.
