2001 Holden Astra CD review from Australia and New Zealand

"Good car, shame about the service"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Both headlights changed once because of condensation.

Fog lights replaced 5 times because of poor fogging up on the inside glass.

Rear dampers needed to be done.

Crank angle sensor replaced.

ECU needed to be updated because of a disagreement with the ECU and the immobiliser.

All this was covered under warranty thank goodness, but the service departments leaves a lot to be desired.

Brake dust still bakes on hard to the alloys.

When the headlights and fogs were replaced, no bulb in the fog lights, Also missing rubber surrounds from the headlights. 2 people checked and both passed it to be done.

Also very surprised Hella who makes the headlights bring out something so poor.

General comments?

Possiblity of oil given to them not being used in the 30k service. Engine doesn't rev as nicely as it once did. Maybe that was because I switched to the Shell Helix Ultra from Mobil 1. Will go back to Mobil 1 again.

Do a change yourself half way through the service interval. 15,000km on any oil isn't good.
