Hey guys, Would any of you be able to suggest any other mods(besides the green box) which would enhance the green box? I'm thinking of buying a simota air-filter(or if there is anything better) plus perhaps increasing boost on the turbocharger depending on whether it is viable. Regards, NM
Has anyone heard of such a thing? Or is this basically the equivalent or premium diesel http://www.thunder2.com/pdf/info_TH2DB-12OZ.pdf
Hey dudes, Just checking under the bonnet of my CDTi and notice I might have a problem with my swirl (swivel) flap bar which is not attached. I have tried to get it back in but can't, my hand is too big. Will keep trying but is there a down side to this? I need to take the car out today. Cheers
Hey guys. My Astra Diesel wouldn't start this morning. It chugga chugged and stalled every time I tried to start it. It's overdue for a service and has 64000 on the clock. The dealer said he was going to service it but didn't and now it's out of 2nd hand warranty. So I am either going to get...
someone else should take over this thread since I'm not burning oil anymore... We could use some mod help... :) ************************************************************************** Let's see how many of us already here :) 1. SOLD.... dieselhead 1.9 CDTi Manual 2. shoey85 1.9 CDTi...
Dudes, I have had my Astra CDTi for a month now. It has been smoking like a mother when I take off at lights (even slowly). Anyway, it is under used car sales act warranty (first 5000kms after purchase) and I took it down to the holden dealer this evening to book it in for someone to find out...
Hey Guys Just wondering what oil you run in your CDTI's. Last time I got slugged by Holden's $135 for my oil during my last service :mad5: What Brand and Viscosity do you run? Thanks
HI all, I thought I'd share that I went on a cruise from Windsor to Jenolan Caves, Oberon and back to home, and over 350km, I averaged 4.6l/100 on the screen, likely to be about 5.5 because of the greenbox, but I'm pretty happy with that considering the up and down terrain over the blue mountains:...
Hi All First Post so please be gentle! I am about to purchase my first astra cdti and was hoping you could let me know as to possible average servicing costs and any possible issues to look out for. Cant wait to feel the power of this amazing diesel:D Thanks
Hey guys, Have been doing a bit of reading lately about the benefits of putting an exhaust system especially to go with an induction kit. Apparently it's supposed to help the engine breathe better and increase performance as well as sound really awesome. However, i've never read about it being...
Emission light came on on Wednesday and I knew straight away that at 70,000 klms it would be the EGR. I was always going to clean it! Stopped at McGraths at Sutherland and they tech 2 it straight away code PO400 insufficient air flow through EGR. They never asked for service history, just booked...
Hey guys, Picked up a Greenbox off a fellow member just last week and haven't yet had a chance to play around with the dial. Just wondering what everyone else here sets their box to and with what benefits Cheers Tez
Great news guys, drove past the Caltex on the corner of John and Gladstone in Cabramatta today and saw a sign saying Vortex Diesel. Looks as if it's about 10c more expensive but fine by me. Good bye VB, hello Golden Ale.
Hi All, newbie here. Apologies if this has been addressed in the past, but I've done a bit of searching and can't seem to find much information. I'm keen to know what will happen to the functionality of the sport button on my Astra CDTi manual after a green box is fitted ? Does the box just...
Hi Guys Just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction as to where I can locate the MAP Sensor. I have a slight idea where it is but need clarification. Cheers
I stumbled across this site the other day, so checked out what he had to say about the Astra H CDTi. A bit surprising actually. More here. I haven't noticed this myself, but then again, I've only done 16-odd thou kays, so roughly a quarter of what they're saying. I certainly intend to hold...
Hi all, I put the car on the dyno yesterday at a gathering of car minded people at a Newcastle dyno shop. Others claimed they were getting readings a bit down, and it wasn't a Dyno Dynamics on shootout mode, so comparing is always an issue. Enough excuses, I was pretty happy with what I...
Hi there dieselers, I have been given approval to buy a DTUK box for my birthday :D. Now, I look at the site, and find that the green and the red are the same price. Which one should I get? I can't justify the extra money for a CRD2, so I'm happy with the price of the other two, but those...
