If you are driving an ASTRA of any late year, demand proof from your Holden Service Dealer of the regular check of one of the most vital parts of your car engine. The PCV Valve.
He will Cringe when you mention it, the PCV is built into the Rocker Cover now and can’t at a quick check be serviced, so it doesn’t. Resulting in it closing up sooner than later and causing the motor to over pressurise and plow out sumo gaskets, seals relating to oil pressure in the motor and in my case cracked the Rocker cover.
This required new seal, Rocker Cover, PCV and Labour of three hrs. Total cost $1300 plus no car for 6-8weeks. The parts were not kept in Australia and that’s how its going to be for all of us now with Holden like American Co’s and government as soon as they have plundered your country there out of there IE Middle East.
So if you own an Astra jump on it before it costs you heaps. Best of all got rid of it while you can…
