aaur4man Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Post by Jeffk » Sun Mar 10, 2019 8:17 am Hi , not been on here for a long time , didn’t actually think I would keep my Astra as I hated it at first but just got used to it I suppose, anyway it developed a horrible noise when start stop operation or generally moving slowly over ground that was not totally smooth, I have been fixing cars for over 30 years and could not find the problem nor could Vauxhall main dealerships, any way I decided to pull it apart and found the cause , the offside engine mount has been worn away by daily use , although it’s only done 23k , the black part at bottom is obviously not made thick enough and started to move with every stop or start and any gear change or generally bumps , fitted a new one at cost of £37 and it’s like driving a different car , hope this helps anyone who may have similar noise , just had the second part of recall done and all good apart from the damage to the doors they have caused , big scratches which I will now have to battle to get payment for , have added some pics of the mouth and the clear rubbing on chassis where it sits Source Edited March 13, 2019 by aaur4man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
