Teo2000 4th Gear April 7, 2019 Share April 7, 2019 looks like i managed to solve it. wash washing the car this morning and sprayed some WD-40 at the connecting plastic at the brake peda assembly (deep in the dash area). whoever is taking their new ride soon can check if they have the sound too. and if it irritates u more then enough, u can try WD-40. Good! You manage to solve it. This proves that you got a brand new car (virgin). Maybe it was sitting in the warehouse for some time. You can try joining the SG Opel Owner's Club on Facebook.... Many Astra K owners in this group. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSP415 Supersonic April 7, 2019 Share April 7, 2019 just got back back home. an update on the clicking. itâs came back after like an afternoon of driving. lol. maybe i need heavy duty grease instead...Why not bring it in to AD's workshop to check? Could be a small issue due to something loose, v irritating to keep wondering why, what or guesstimate until driving becomes focused on that one constant clicking. If grease here and there doesn't help in a permanent fix, let the ppl with right tools check, if need be, open that brake system. It's important cos its brakes, though the culprit may really be an unimportant component like a missing screw per se. I hope your attention will not be divided from driving and staying alert to road situations. Enjoy your new ride, minus that irritating click click. Safe ride Cheers 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felipe 3rd Gear April 13, 2019 Share April 13, 2019 It seems that AG is selling at a loss..... Or maybe they managed to reduce the VES surcharge by 10K just like they did for their Grandland/Crossland? OK. let me talk about OPEL reliability here. Drove the Astra 1.4 T for 24 months already, made numerous trips up north. No issues. If I do not have faith in the brand, I would not have bought an Opel. Read all my posts in this thread since early 2017 and you will get the picture. Making another trip to Selangor in a few weeks time. Cheers. It's normal not to have problems in the first few years, regardless of trips north Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My previous Japanese car, ABS Sensor changed at 23rd month. I can say more but no point.I consider these as wear and tear. Not an issue with the korean or jap made ride. For astra, the worse i saw is actuator issue which require 1 or 2 days for AG to replace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felipe 3rd Gear April 19, 2019 Share April 19, 2019 who gives a damn. just drive, enjoy, cannot alrdy then go find a new love can liao.You're right. Just buy n enjoy. The problem is when ppl start complaining about problems n costs. Cars and parts will always be expensive here. And it's inevitable conti car parts will be priced higher too 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny86 4th Gear April 28, 2019 Share April 28, 2019 Unlikely. Cos I didn't even accelerate hard. Rpm below 2k during moving off and the steering turned left by itself.Did u get this fixed yet? Same issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whattheheck 2nd Gear April 28, 2019 Share April 28, 2019 Did u get this fixed yet? Same issue.Yeah. I think so. Agent swap my left and right tyre around and it was okay liao. After that brought it to my own tyre shop and they said my tyres were bloated liao. They might have caused the drifting. So I changed all 4 tyres to new Michelin PS4. So far no issue.

Whattheheck 2nd Gear April 30, 2019 Share April 30, 2019 Went many times already. Not that serious just not shiok when driving straight. Everytime I send in and take back it's nice for 2 weeks. Then goes off again. So maybe when due tire see how I am using the new tyres for 1 mth. My daily mileage is 40km. Weekend higher mileage. I clocked about 1000km on this new tyres. If the same drifting to left problem re surface, then I can justify to AG that there is something wrong with the undercarriage. Cos issues with the undercarriage can also cause uneven tyre wear etc which can cause drifting. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
