Hello all, new CDTi owner...

[Skunkwerks]

Im mean seriously, this turbo diesel is one of the best cars I have ever driven....

This is the beginning of a short 'hi there' before I start rooting around looking for info on turbo diesels on this forum, prob buy some bits etc and hang out for a while.....

Anyone else in Canberra??

Welcome to OA Skunkwerks!

Now atleast I have a spare minute to write a proper post!

Bought the Astra from Holden dealership used cars, had only been there a little while. Has had New EGR, pads & disks, and alternator! Yay!

I noticed the 'Insp' on at start up, and a very slight puff after re-starting the car after driving (like going to shops)
Took it to the service guys and they found out the INSP was caused by an aftermarket ECU! Also the exhaust has been tinkered with, looks like 2.5 inch, and a high flow muffler at the back....
NOW I understand why it goes so well. The Holden service guys thought it was an absolute gun...
I think its a ripper package too. Ive owned heaps of cars, have built 6 engines, 2 complete conversions and a few ECU tunes, so I appreciate the tinkerage this has had.
It also has some black springs, same progressive rate, at least 2 inch drop, maybe more.
Plus some 15x6.5 5 spoke alloys, with 205's for grip.
Absolute ball of fun, also great on fuel too.

I'll get some pics up when I finish work.

Im betting that the previous owner was probably a forum member here too...
Any other modded white diesels in Canberra???

Insp is the service light. Probably didn't get reset after last service. Do a search on here on how to clear it. Comes up before every 15k km service interval.

Sounds like you've got DAP-R springs maybe, and possibly a tuning box, can you take a pic of the engine bay with the engine cover off?
