I bought an Astra G 1.7 DTI 17 years ago and still drive it. I fix what needs fixing and drive. The car is in operation every day. That car is from 2004. So far, it has traveled about 390,000 km...

i feel like this comunity is so so much bigger than it seems but so little of them care for making videos on thier issues or even how to do mods on them im in love with them and getting one soon and want to make vidoes on simple issues and also mods i have alot of friends that also enjoy them and have the same issue trying to find detailed videos on that sort of stuff

Hey, here’s some stuff I saw on these (and on our Astra G):
1. Lights getting fog inside
2. gasoline leaking (only once, got repaired, but happened on fast road so it was actually a bit dangerous)
3. doors not locking properly due to cables or sth breaking inside
4. doors not opening due to hardening oils
5. rust (not always that bad, there’s good and bad ones, and you can’t always see all the rust)
4. certain colours fading away
5. at least the lower powered older caravans are loud when driving fast
6. the fabric covering the roof on the inside loosening and "falling down"
7. radio not working properly in summer (either completely won’t work or just display won’t work, but works again in autumn, winter, spring)
8. timing belt breaking
That’s all the stuff I know so far. Not all of it happened to us, just some stuff and it’s actually ok. We never really had problems with something breaking in the engine. Overall I think they‘re pretty reliable if you get one in good condition and give it the love it deserves. Maybe I‘ll get myself my own one as my first car… I really really like them. 🥲

This is a fairly good video but next time keep it more concise, focus on horsepower. Torque displacement and problems of each motor
