135,000 miles out of a Corsa VXR! That’s incredible mate... has to be down to the forging and just generally looking after it I reckon, great video pal😎
I enjoyed the vxr range alot no issues my self I sold my Corsa to buy another rs turbo after 6 months, only worry for me was the piston and gearbox rumor if it blew then I ld have to repair it which costly really
I got a '07 Opel Corsa OPC which is basically the same for the Euro market. Had it for 1 year now and in love with it but there are some problems. Fortunetly I got one with low KM (116k - Low in Austrian Standards) and the only problem I encountered since my Ownership was resealing the Valve Cover and Oil Pan
I have the E vxr running high BHP, never bothered to forge it. Had car from new and service it every 3k or 6 months. Never once gone wrong, absolutely love it.
Hi mate its me lol, am 53 i deliberately bought a corsa mine 14 plate, totally standard apart from k n n panel filter, Q, mine only boost to 10 odd n 15 on ob is that write for the gen 2 just wondered, i love my corsa vxr shape all ov it i could of got any car within reason lol but i went for corsa, friends say am mad, had the piston knocking on window n watch me gearbox fall of down the road, but not the case had it yr n no probs, jus oil changes ive done 2 so far, and me gearbox with millers nd, gutted for you with the astra, it soon a new year hope it works out better for you mate, keep the content going LOVE IT Moon ❤️
Only "bad" things I can say about my VXR (OPC here in germany) is that horrible Rattling noise that many have. (Compression good, Gearbox new, New Turbo and manifold flywheel had play so we think it's that). And the Climate-hoses bursting. There are a few little things, like the seatcovers coming off but nothing major. 143.000 Miles and still going at full power.
just bought a 62 plate with 40k on the clock, full service history, stage 1 remap, straight through cobra exhaust , ramair intake. and i love it, i had a c250D AMG beforehand and the VXR puts a bigger smile on your face every time, worth buying if you find a good one thats been looked after.
Does the turbo supposed to make a noise near the dash in right hand corner when you accelerate have a woosh noise with a slight whistle? After you release ?do you know this
I've had 2 of these one being a nurburgring, both from new, my first one had a new gearbox at 7k apart from that it ran faultless for the time I had it, and my burg I had it stage 2 not forged and had no problems at all apart from a coolant hose and the seat base broke, I guess I was one of the lucky one's with regards with pistons lol
I picked mine up last year in the summer, it’s a 14 plate Arden blue. I love it so much, my third and best car I’ve owned.
Id love one as a second car. The seats in these are so underrated
Loveing mine handles amazing in its stock form always let it warm up/cool engine ticks over like a knitting machine 👍
