So picked up my 1.4 Turbo on Saturday there and I love it.! Sounds great, however its very subtle. 

What can I do to make the turbo sound louder without spending too much cash?

Thanks folks 

on the odd occasion I get that noise, it appears to come from the back, mostly heard when I turn left, have also heard it while reversing.

Any ideas?

Astra J 1.6 vvt

Hey All [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

Long shot but does anyone know of any noise canceling microphones that can be used with my head unit? Don't have to be cheap... Just good.

Thanks

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!

Hi guys, car was services by vx a few weeks back. Brakes advised fine.
But approx 3-4mths ago when under heavy braking they make a loud groaning noise and seems to be when hot.
Was wondering if I need to replace the copper grease on the pads?
Will this cause this type of noise or is the grease to stop just squeezing?
Felt the discs and they are not marked at all

Thought I'd fire up a note on my experience in case there's others out there with the same issue.

First off and to be clear I'm a fussy sod. I had been hearing a ticking noise from my 1.4t GTC for a while. Only audible with the window down and sounded like a nail in a tyre except it was linked to engine speed rather than road speed, could be heard if I rev'd the engine whilst the car was stationary.

Long story short I took the risk of getting the dealer to strip it down to find the issue.

I have an eftermarket unit called RoadCommander. It´s like the well known Icebox and also have the big screen and replaces the CD400 unit.

The problem I have is, when using bluetooth for streaming music with my phone. There is a consistent noise. The noise doesn´t change when pressing accellerator pedal or driving at all. It´s consistent and very annoying to listen to. When you turn up the volume it follow´s up and becomes more annoying. 
I don´t have AUX input otherwise I would definately b

Hi, on cold morning my astra J 1.7 110 2010 has a squeak which goes after 5 minutes or until warm then after the squeak has quietened you can hear this strange clicking tapping noise only when lights, radio on etc like its coming from the alternator which is still original but giving good reading on battery and charge?

Hi my 2011 Astra J 1.7 CDTI has a strange noise that is getting more and more frequent, when i accelerate away and dip the clutch to change gear, there is a ghostly noise that starts off quiet and gets louder, it got worse when i changed the fuel filter, but then became less common for almost a year, but has now come back with a vengeance. I almost think it could be to do with fuel pressure?
Just wondered if anyone else had experienced this and how they got rid of it. The car itself drives fine

I have noticed a strange noise on my astra j. The noise sounds like when a brake disc lip may be slightly rubbing / touching the caliper. However, it is not this making the noise. The noise happens all the time. It doesnt change if i brake, turn left or right and it doesnt change with clutch or gear changes. If i push the car when it is off i can still hear it. Possibly from drive shaft area?? Has anyone else had this?
