2003 Vauxhall Astra SRi Turbo 190 from UK and Ireland - Comments

"Great fun"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing.

General comments?

I've previously owned- a mazda 323zxi, rover 200 vi, Honda crx vtec,vw gti mk3, Renault 5 turbo and a 205 gti.

This car (sri turbo) is without doubt the fastest cars I've ever owned.

Not been to the claimed 150mph obviously, but there is a handy stop clock on the dash computer and I have on many times had it to 60 in 6.5 seconds with no modifications.

Wicked cars aren't they? Try an engine remap from regal or courtenay, and you'll be surprised how quick the damn thing is.

I own an astra sri turbo 190 and for some reason it doesn't seem to be as responsive as it used to be. The car's not long been serviced, but just doesn't have that real kick to it at the moment. I did let the petrol get low a short while back, but wouldn't of thought that would have resulted in this happening. Anyone have any advice on what might be wrong please?

Number of reasons:

dirty air filter

air leak

faulty turbo

air flow meter

or you've just got used to it.

They made them at the begining of 2003 too. It's a january model. I Wouldn't say 2003 if it wasn't.

I have an astra sri turbo 190 limited edition registered in january 2003 so the person who says they only made them in 2002 is wrong.
