Hi Everyone,

 

I am thinking of getting this car as second hand in e market, is there any major / persistent minor issues encountered by your experience so far? Thanks alot!!

 

for me, so far so good, from the opel fb group, you can see good and bad reviews as with all other cars.

I would say no major issues yet but minor issues seen to be there.

 

it really depends on the individual, in the opel fb group, there is 1 guy driving a crossland that is complaining like hell due to a persistent alarm issue(it seems the alarm is too sensitive and goes off too often). What I understand is that the dealer offer courtesy car for him to leave his car there while they troubleshoot his car, but he demanded momentary compensation first. till now, you can still see him complaining at every chance at the dealer even when it is just a simple meetup that fellow members organized.

I feel we should endeavour to be gracious.

 

Rather than aggressive.

No....but no time to send in daily either. So far sent close to 10 times but only temp fix

[AndrewLee72]

Oh, me going in for 20K servicing next week, gonna tell them to check the engine sound - like a faint vibration noise coming from there - zzzz

From 1000km till now - steering turning clunk + rattling over uneven grounds + pulling left

 

Recently sent in for above + AC Button peeling off, came back the AC button worse than before replacement

 

I'm not even being fussy about the flexing noises since it's normal for Conti cars (at least entry levels)

 

Only consolation is the ECU update improved engine response by alot, daily drivability very enjoyable less the above

 

The next time go in, I confirm be gentleman

I for one believe in settling matters amicably.

 

Don't know why some like to bang tables.....no offence to anyone.

Was told that if it is 1 litre, it is due to it being a 3 cylinder and that is why vibration is more profound especially when stationary. If yours is 1.4, then i don’t know why too.

Mine is astra St 1.0. I test sat in another astra ST.. No such vibration grok grok sound. Later will test out Johnny suggestion on driver door

[Johnny86]

The sound I experience is when car is moving...
