Gearbox Oil Change?
I'm looking to change the oil in my M32 gearbox and was wondering if there was any changes over the mk's of Astra to the layout of filler, drain and level check plugs?
I found this how to, seems pretty good. Is it similar or still the same? I can't see why they would change the layout. I think the link is for the Astra H VXR M32.

Cheers guys.

A16XER oil cooler
Hi
Does anyone know if the oil cooler on the 1.6 na engine is prone to leaking oil in to the cooling system. My daughter's car has oil on the surface of the water in the coolant header tank. I have drained and flushed the system twice and cleaned inside the header tank, only for the oil to return again. There isn't a great amount in there, but would like to find the cause .

The car has done 55k miles and has been well serviced and looked after. I suppose it could be the head gasket , hop

Oil and Oil filter replacement
Simple and quick job to do but may seem a little daunting if you have never done it before.

tools Required: Ratchet, 24mm socket and a T45 male torque socket, Container to drain the old oil into. A small flat screwdriver.
Access to axle stands and a jack would be needed also.

[align=center]This was done on my 1.6T GTC however the process is the same but the location of the sump plug and oil filter may differ slightly.Order

Oil and fuel filters
Hi all, going to order all my stuff for servicing the car. Looking at fuel and oil filters and bosch and mann are the more expensive ones on the market. I dont mind paying it but wondered whats the difference between them and a cheaper brand? Are they going to make my car run better than a different brand? Or is it just the brand name im paying for?
Thanks guys

Oil Level
When reading the oil level my dipstick has two plain segments sandwiched between two hatched segments.

Where is the ideal level. Should the top hatched segment be covered with oil or should the oil stop at the division between the plain segment and the top hatched segment?
