Sorry for being OT but here goes:

I have an extra skidplate for Opel Astra G.

What is a skidplate?? It's the heavy metal sheet underneath the engine. This protects your engine from rocks and other road debris that might otherwise hit the oil reservoir of your engine.

I'm selling it for PhP 3000... For those interested don't hesitate to send me PM.

Reason for selling: I thought I lost it. Bought another one from a surplus store only for the original to show up this morning during a clean up of a back room.

Hi,

Have someone tried reading ECU fault codes without using a TECH1 or TECH2 reader?

I am no mechanic wizard but I found this topic very interesting.

http://www.topbuzz.co.uk/info/fault_...ault_codes.htm

Yesterday, I had my Astra 2001 scanned at a GM Alabang for 1100 PHP though their quote was higher. They told me my ECU had a defect and needs to be replaced. Since the quote is from GM casa, the cost to replace is high.

Did some of you had the same situation? What was your experience with an Astra that had an ECU problem?

Thanks.

Hi peeps!

Any suggestions, feedback will be much appreciated.
I got a second hand Opel Vectra last Oct 2010. Mejo 2 months ko ng nililigawan ung Opel bago mag Ondoy so alam ko na hindi cya nabaha.
Mejo hirap ung batak pag akyat (flyover, bridges.. etc)

I had the maintenance every 5kms (change oil, tune up etc) I also replaced automatic transmission fluid. Anyhow, medyo napansin ko din na pag ni turn on yung A/C malakas masyado ung tanggal sa power ng acceleration. Minsan mag turn lang ako sa steering wheel, namamatayan na agad ang engine.
They made some adjustment dun sa bandang cervo so medyo nag okay.
I had another tranmission fluid change when the mechanic noticed na may leak ung transmission so he suggested na mag replace ng oil seal.

Okay nman, I got it last Jan 8. Had it carwashed dahil matagal din cyang na stuck sa talyer. Napansin ko na parang masikip ang pag shift ng gear. They told me na yung sa selector maluwag kaya tinali nila.
Anyhow, papunta kami ng sister ko the following day sa market. Pag tinapakan ang gas, ayaw umandar. Lahat na ata ng gears dinaanan namin from 1,2,3 and D. Yung reverse lang ang nagana. Ni check nila ang selector, inayos. Ganun pa din. Tumawag akong Fronte, may tinuro ang mechanic nila na probable problem. Hinananap ng mechanic. Medyo okay nman ang takbo. Problem, minsan hindi pumapasok sa D, pag nilagay ko sa 1 dun lang tumatakbo. Hindi nag rereverse hanggat hindi umandar ang gulong muna forward.
Mang Boy from Fronte will diagnose this week. Any same experience? Sabi kasi ni mang Boy, electrical daw at hindi mechanical ang problem.

probable causes:
-- electrical issue
-- torque converter
-- automatic transmission fluid

Thanks sa mga sasagot
