morning..

wake up early

take the clit to a service 20 kms far for changing the windscreen as it was fractured..

fill in the papers .. check the new glass.. have a breakfast.. stay untill its finished

lunch  time..

then leave.. walk 1-2 kms for a shared taxi..
then to job.. have a lunch .. with a friends car come back home.. take miggy and off to the second service

(some may remember my cambelt change thread..
after one month cambelt decides to give up..tensioner pulley starts to make irregular noises, so service accepts to change from guarantee)

this time I asked the mechanic to try myself
he accepted..really fiddly job.. although he arranged the crank position somehow I managed to loose the correct positions for cams and after 2 hours I hardly arranged them with the help of him..
then the service chief come and checked our job.. said ok..   but although we arranged the tensioner to the book position I feel cambelt was a bit loose :-/)
no paying

take the miggy rushed to a shopping place park close to clit service.. (30 kms far from opel service) 17 : 40 

park the miggy.. go take the clit come back to place where I park miggy.. take the miggy back home..
then go for metro..now take the clit.. again back home.. 19 30

Bloody hell 

1.6 is a good lump.. but normally I expect 110-115 hp if it was normally aspirated.. to increase the hp to 180 (meaning %60-65 efficiency increase)  they use higher pressures on turbo..I expected long term turbo problems like 1.8T passats (as proven) but problems come earlier :-?..

would be longer life imho if they used 1.8 low pressure turbo with 150-160 hp  :-/

now looking the owners of insignia drivers profile they want to pay low tax , performance car.. and they hammer it mostly to take performance for that heavy chasis and result shorter life turbo and extra problems.. I would stay with my miggy and wont go for a second hand old insignia.. :-/

It's not as if GM were short of engine options at the time as they still had SAAB producing lpt engines

as I understand the new fashion is small turbo engines for low weight and low tax.. however their consumption figures are similiar and they are shorter life.. :-/

really they make the car engines a simple consumable like a chewing gum

Sounds like that is one of the main components
