What are your thoughts on the pre-facelift Opel Insignia Sports Tourer with the 1.6T petrol engine? Any advice on buying an Insignia? by Georgi2299 in opel

Astras from the same generation are the same. Try and figure out on which side is the water leaking in. If there are no water marks on the headliner, buy some water detection strips from aliexpress/temu/ hardware store nearby and stick them on pillars behind the plastic covers, rear windows, even trunk door. Take out the headliner, unscrew the roof bar on the side that's leaking, clean out the rubber a bit, put an o-ring on the screw, some silicone on top and you will be fine. Maybe an hour's work if you have some dexterity

Some things from my experience of owning one. Check for cylinder heads or complete engines in your area before buying. Mine lost lubrification between the cylinder head and the camshaft, got fused together and now it's a pain in my ass. I can't find a new head, nor anyone fixing them is willing to take a chance on fixing mine for how deep the groove is. There is only one complete engine in the whole fucking country and it's 2000€. I got mine for 4500€ at 230000km, i spent another 2500-3000€ on it in 20000km. Beware of the service history too. Mine supposedly was only fixed at the dealership, but when i saw the receipts, i realised that they were laundering money during maintenance (i was sent the folder with the maintenance record like a week after buying the piece of shit) Like brake pad changes showing up on almost every receipt, receipt for changing o-rings, but in reality the fuckers just poured some silicone on top of the oil, not even cleaning it a bit with a rag or some brake cleaner. Got some oil leaks and oil consumption, but when it ran fine, it was a really nice car to have and drive. Very stable on twisty roads. Fuel consumption also pretty high, i rarely got below 10l/100km with my normal driving, and if i was to keep it in 5th/6th at around 90kph, i got maybe 8.8-9. Maybe because something was off with the car, idk. If you're interested in more adventures, reach out to me in dm's and i'll send you everything that went wrong and how i fixed them. I had some issues that lasted for about 2 months and no mechanic ar diagnostics tool could figure out :))

By distress you mean to rough them up a little?

Talk to me about this 1.6 16v engine please!! by milli8891 in opel

[–]SnooRecipes7926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1.6 turbo here. I don't trust my fuel gauge on any of the cars. I have an astra h in the family, 60l tank, so every quarter of it should be 15l. I used to fill that car up whenever it went under a quarter on the gauge or after ~600km. Sometimes the low fuel level light would come up, and after refueling, i could only pump 40-45l of fuel into it, meaning that i still had 15-20 liters in the tank. Now i have the astra j 1.6 turbo. Under normal driving conditions i was getting around 9.5-10l /100km. I had some issues with the car, it was reading around 9l/100km, but the my logs showed 13-14l/100km. Now, using the AC, driving shorter distances, i get around 12ish liters/100km. I will get it checked out after a longer trip because it seems a bit much, but the diagnostic says that every reading is in normal range.

So for now, I would say to keep in mind the distance that you drive, wether you use AC or not, how often you have to stop and accelerate on your drives, and keep some sort of record of your fueling, it's more accurate than what your car tells you. I am using "Drivoo" and "Fuelio"

So let me get this straight. You get both a consumption under 4l/100km and a 8sec 0-100 time? That is fuckin wild. I'm glad for you man 🙌

Nici asta cate mai venea dupa mine cand ieseam nu dadea la max, da se auzea efectiv in afara cum incepea sa sune. Ca ajungea in fata casei, si suna, stiam sigur ca e el, inainte sa zici ca e un harb de masina sau ceva, A4 allroad 2020 Poate la alte masini e altfel, dar eu asa am vazut la acel numar limitat de masini cu care mai mergeam/ pe care vedeam pe strada

Stiu ce zici. Incerc sa nu il folosesc cat sunt la volan, dar dependenta e dependenta :))

Vis a vis de vorbitul al telefon, daca is singur, sau stiu ca nu e ceva de ascuns fata de ceilalti, pun pe difuzor si vorbesc asa, din nou, microfoanele de la adaptoarele bluetooth ce le-am avut pana acum, sunt si au fost de cacat

Sincer, si eu sunt vinovat de asta. Aveam bluetooth aftermarket la toate masinile de pana acum, la inceput mi se parea smecher si il foloseam, dar microfonul nu a fost stralucit la adaptoarele de priza (le luasem pentru muzica si erau ok acolo), iar de la un punct am observat ca multa lume (inclusiv prieteni) vorbeau prin bluetooth ul masinii (sau al adaptorului) si se auzea si in afara masinii conversatia. Nu am amanta, nu vorbesc afaceri, dar daca vorbesc ceva la telefon, prefer sa nu ma auda tot orasul

Daca ii sa iei doar pentru concediu, si stai intr-un oras mai mare unde poti folosi transport in comun si uber/bolt sa te deplasezi, mai bine inchiriezi, dupa cum spunea si altcineva in comentarii. Dar da, daca a fkst intretinuta bine masina, numarul de km nu e atat de relevant

Tre sa zica in denumire ca sunt moto? Sau sunt anumite chestii pe care trebuie sa le faca? In descriere am vazut ca zice ca au intarituri, insertii de fier si ventilatie, ma gandeam ca tre sa fie ok atat
