Title: what a difference a clean makes!
Post by: Omega_Dan on 22 April 2012, 12:21:40
Pete did a few jobs on the astra on wednesday. Felt a tad sluggish at low revs so as well as a service I had the breathers, including crank breather and the throttle body cleaned.

Well since then not really used the car. Just been to oswestry to collect a new pram. Coming back down the A5 thought I'd give it some beans as I'm generally a steady driver and it goes so well now. the best thing is it looks like a 1.6  ;D

Gent I bought it off did a few things like vectra c air intake, removed the pre cat and a straight through centre pipe with irmcher dd back box. Suppose it all helps. All this with 35mpg on average my wanting another omega is just about being kept at bay :-X

Also noticing that tescos momentum unleaded petrol seems favoured by the 2.2

Heard this is a bit rocketfuel-ish. Is that the 101 octane stuff?

Clean breathers and throttle body makes a big difference on the 2.2 engines, I found that with mine  :y

I'm not sure of the octane but it's certainly seems more responsive.
