1999 Vauxhall Astra CD review from UK and Ireland
"Pity replacement parts are so expensive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to have ECU changed at 80,000 miles at the cost of over £650. Now at 113,000 it's gone again.
Garage diagnostic pointed towards coil pack at £260, then with the engine still not running they wanted to try a new ECU at £650. All too much now, as much as I have enjoyed Vauxhall's over the years this is tacking the mickey, especially when the ECU is only 16 month old and becomes faulty, apparently ???
General comments?
Other than that, the last 2 cars have all been Vauxhall's.
