Help: Opel Astra speedo problem

[von1]

boss pa check mo yung wire ng sensor baka nalagot lang...yung sakin naayos na...nasa gulong kasi yung sensor nung sakin, hininang lang ng mekaniko ko, ok na. Baka pareho lang din yan nung sakin dahil umilaw abs mo at namatay speedo. Nung pumunta ako sa fronte pinapapalitan sakin yung sensor p10,500 tapos ignition coil p11,000 yata un, dahil umilaw nga din check engine. Buti nalang kulang dala kong pera kaya hindi ko muna pinagalaw. Dumaan ako sa dati ko mekaniko nung pauwi ako e hinang lang pala gagawin, Nawala lahat ng umiilaw tsaka ok na speedo. Bayad ako p500. Nakatipid ako p21,000. Hehe

pare tanung lng san ka ngpa repair ng abs mo kc ung akin umilaw din..speedometer down... Pero my time na pwede ulit pero saglit lng mga 5 to 10 min. Baka sa tingin ko din eh wire problem lng ...

Having been an owner of Opel Astra for 10 years I learned a lot from fellow members of club opel philippines and mechanics as well.

Here are certain rules to live by when you own an opel

1)First thing to remember is don't immediately buy what you are told to buy especially kung mamahalin ang spare parts. Always ask for second opinion. Experts commit errors too! So hold on to your money first before buying those spare parts

2)If there is a check engine lighting in your car. Have it scanned and ask for the result of the fault code which was reflected in the scanner. Problem with some car owners is that they immediatey buy the parts only have the same problem afterwards. Meaning the part which was bought was not really the problem in the first place. Can't count any more how many times it happened to others

3) There are many sources of spare parts. Some of them are already mentioned. I will to add a few more suppliers for the benefit of others.
You can try twincell at virra mall in greenhills - tel number 723 96 06.

Now you have more choices. The more suppliers the more prices will go down which will benefit the opel owners!

4) Opel owners can survive without sticking to one or two mechanics. I can bet that I spent less in parts and services than most members and yet my car is still in tip top shape! Why?! I don't stick to one or two service provider/s.

5) If you plan to stick with your opel for a looong time. I strongly suggest you go get yourself a haynes manual for your opel. It's worth your money
and if you are a DIY guy, this is a perfect book for you. Even if you are not a DIY guy like me, you will still like the book coz it will give you tons of info.

Baka ma bore na kayo sa haba ng thread ko. PM me na lang for questions or just simply post it. Will try to answer it if I know the answer. Like I said, I'm no expert. Just a long time opel owner and opel enthusiast like you.

cheers
