Opel Astra H - technical specifications for the whole family

Technical Opel characteristics Astra H cannot be described in one paragraph. Because Astra H is not one car, it is a whole family. A line consisting of at least 5 cars. Same at first glance, but different in essence, in their driving performance, appearance and size.

Astra H began production in 2004. In 2007 it underwent a slight restyling. The technical characteristics of the engines have undergone changes. They have become more powerful, economical and environmentally friendly. The front bumper, mirrors, and some interior trim elements have also changed. Astra H is still produced, in station wagon, sedan or 5-door hatchback body, but under the name Astra Family.

Body and chassis of Opel Astra H

The body line has a wide choice: sedan, station wagon, 5-door hatchback, 3-door GTC hatchback, and Astra TwinTop coupe-convertible. Specifications various types Opel Astra bodies are similar, but there are differences. The wheelbase of the sedan and station wagon is 2703 mm, and that of hatchbacks and convertibles is 2614 mm.

The turning radius is approximately the same for all, about 11 m. The trunk volumes of the sedan and station wagon are surprisingly the same, 490 liters each. The 5-door hatchback has 375 liters, the GTC – 340 liters, and the convertible – 205 liters. The gas tank volume on all Opel Astras is 52 liters.

The front suspension in the Astra H is MacPherson link-spring, with telescopic shock absorber struts, coil springs, and a stabilizer lateral stability. The rear suspension in Opel Astra cars is semi-independent, lever-spring with trailing arms.

Opel Astra H configurations

Astra N has 3 configuration options: Essentia, Enjoy, Cosmo. The simplest is Essentia, which includes a leather-trimmed steering wheel, air conditioning, and heated front seats. Enjoy adds climate control and a light sensor. Cosmo – maximum configuration, boasts 16-inch alloy wheels, rain sensor, seats with eco-leather inserts. Also for the 3-door hatchback there is an option with panoramic roof. IN OPC configuration, available only for the GTC hatchback, sports body kits, 17-inch wheels and Recaro seats are installed. Also, station wagons and sedans have additional cigarette lighters in the trunk for installing a refrigerator in the trunk. In 2008, it was possible to purchase the Astra H Limousine version, but only on order, from Germany.

Technical equipment and characteristics of the Opel Astra H

The least powerful, but at the same time the most reliable engine offered for the third Astra is a four-cylinder “gear” with a volume of 1.4 liters. Power of sixteen-valve 1.4 Opel – 90 Horse power.

In the range Astra engines H there are two petrol 1.6. The first produces 105 horsepower, and the power of the second is 10 horsepower higher - 115 horsepower. On 1.6 engines with mileage exceeding 40,000 km, vibration was noticed at rpm in the range of 2,500 - 3,000; as a rule, this unpleasant moment is associated with the variable valve timing system.

1.8L engines produce power of 125 and 140 horsepower. Power plants 1.8l with a mileage of 70,000 suffer from leaking camshaft oil seal, and may also leak front oil seal crankshaft Also, on engines with a volume of 1.6 and 1.8 liters, with mileages exceeding 50,000 km, the camshaft gear may jam. As a rule, before this, when starting the engine, a grinding noise is heard for 2-3 seconds.

The most powerful gasoline units are 2.0-liter turbocharged engines. Their power: 170, 200 and 240 hp.

Installed on Opel Astra H 2004 - 2010 turbodiesel engines: 1.3 - 90hp, 1.7 - 80 and 100hp, 1.9 - 120 and 150hp. According to experts, it is better to buy a gasoline Astra, since diesel engines require even more attention than gasoline units Opel. If on diesel Astra The power dropped significantly and the car began to smoke, perhaps the reason is the particulate filter, which is already asking for replacement. On diesel modifications Asters are equipped with a dual-mass flywheel, over time it becomes the cause of knocks and vibrations; as a rule, replacement will be required after a mileage of 150,000 km.

On Astra modifications with 1.4 and 1.6L engines, they are installed at the rear drum brakes, on more powerful Astras on all wheels disc brakes. The Astra's front pads last for 30,000 km, and the rear drum pads last for 60,000 km. Sami brake discs Asters serve 60,000 km.

It is best to buy a used aster from manual transmission. Mechanics from repair to repair will last at least 100,000 km, and sometimes 200,000 km. Reverse gear manual box Asters are not equipped with a synchronizer, which is why immediately after stopping reverse speed On Astra it doesn't turn on well.

Four step automatic Asters equipped winter mode, but if you don’t use it for a long time, one day the activation button may simply not work. Jerks when switching from first to second on this box are considered normal, but jerks when switching from second to third indicate a malfunction. In some cases, repairs will require replacing the valve body. Into the body automatic transmission Astra gearboxes have a built-in gearbox cooling radiator; it happens that the coolant leaks and mixes with the oil, which also does not increase the service life of the unit.

After a mileage of 100,000 km, the robotic gearbox will require replacement of the fork. Typically, the Easy Tronic robot lasts more than 100,000 km before overhaul, so as not to shorten its service life robotic gearbox When stopping for a short time, engage neutral gear.

The Astra's suspension is quite durable. According to the owners' reviews, it is a bit harsh. Most often, stabilizer struts and steering rods in the Opel chassis are replaced; this operation is carried out after a mileage of 50,000 km.

Price

You can buy an Opel Astra H 2004 – 2010 in almost any city in the CIS. Opel price Astra H 2007 $11,000 - $12,000. Astra is a good option for a person living in the city, in moderation fast car with a non-gluttonous engine and spacious interior, besides Astra is different good level security.

Figures and facts

According to statistics, the Opel Astra H is one of the cars that loses the least value over time. Plus relative cheapness to maintain. And adding to this the technical characteristics and big choice, we can conclude that the Opel Astra definitely deserves attention.

Opel AstraH– third generation passenger car compact class Opel Astra. Astra has always been popular model, but this generation especially pleased dealers with sales volumes. Recently, the number of used Opel Astra Hs has increased sharply; this can, of course, be associated with the natural renewal of cars, since most car enthusiasts do this once every 4-5 years. But it may also be that owners begin to get rid of their cars after a mileage of 100-150 thousand km. Well, what is the true reason, and what shortcomings are characteristic of this car, now we’ll try to figure it out.

A little history:

The debut of the Opel Astra H took place in 2003 at the Frankfurt auto show, and already in March 2004 it began serial assembly car. In the markets different countries it was also released under the names Chevrolet Astra, Chevrolet Vectra, Holden Astra, Saturn Astra and Vauxhall Astra. The novelty was intended to replace the then popular Opel VectraB. In total, for storming the segment " C"or, as they also say, golf class, four bodies were produced based on the Delta platform developed General Motors – three and five-door hatchback, sedan, station wagon and coupe.

For most CIS markets, the car was assembled at Russian plant"Avtotor" in Kaliningrad, and since 2008 - at car assembly plant General Motors in Shushary near St. Petersburg. The design of the car was developed by the director of the German Opel design studio in Rüsselsheim - Friedhel Engler, who is also the creator of the Opel Corsa. Production of the model ceased in 2009, this model was replaced by the Opel Astra J, but even after the release of the new model, the popularity of the Opel Astra H did not decrease at all, therefore, it was decided to extend the production of this model (the car was produced until 2014 under the name Astra Family).

Typical problems and malfunctions of a used Opel Astra H

Unlike most competitors, the Opel Astra H has quite high quality paint coating. The exception was cars produced in Poland; on such examples the paint swelled and fell off in pieces; fortunately, the manufacturer eliminated all defects under warranty. The body is completely galvanized, thanks to this it resists the onslaught of the red disease well, but, nevertheless, over time, from the effects of the reagents that are generously sprinkled on our roads, you can find pockets of corrosion on the trunk door, door edges and sills. On cars of the first years of production, the headlights become cloudy, and the rear door handles may also become stuck.

Engines

A large number of power units were available for the Opel Astra H: petrol - 1.4 (90 hp), 1.6 (105 hp), 1.8 (125 hp) and 2.0 (170, 200 hp); diesel – 1.3 (90 hp), 1.7 (100 hp), 1.9 (120 and 150 hp). All engines are quite reliable, but after 100,000 km they require minor investment. The 1.4 engine has proven to be the most trouble-free, but due to insufficient power, this power unit is not in demand among car enthusiasts. In the more common 1.6 and 1.8 engines, under our operating conditions, the catalyst and valve become dirty very quickly EGR. The problem is especially relevant for cars operated in a metropolis. One of the most serious damage, which many Astra owners have had to deal with, is jammed intake and exhaust camshaft gears. This problem occurs at 60-80 thousand km, and after repair there is no guarantee that it will not happen again. Signs of a problem include: increased noise when starting the engine ( rattle, rattle) and worsening dynamics.

Also, the main disadvantages include the small resource of the rear engine mount ( falls into disrepair every 60-70 thousand km). Often, owners are faced with a malfunction of the ignition system module, the cause of the ailment lies in bad contact in connectors and untimely replacement spark plugs. Closer to 250,000 km, the membrane responsible for recirculation ruptures crankcase gases, is in valve cover. The problem can be determined by the unstable operation of the engine, as well as by blue smoke from exhaust system. Very often at services the engine is sentenced to overhaul, however, the problem is solved by replacing the valve cover. The most powerful power unit, in most cases, does not require repairs up to 150,000 km, but minor troubles such as fogging of the cylinder head and oil leaks through the crankshaft oil seal , can occur after 20,000 km.

All motors are belt driven timing belt According to the regulations, belt replacement is prescribed once every 90,000 km, but there have been cases of belt breakage after 50,000 km, therefore, it is better not to risk it and change the belt once every 60,000 km. The pump is usually replaced every second belt change. Diesel engines reliable, but demanding on fuel quality and lubricants. Among the disadvantages of diesel engines, it is necessary to note the weak fuel equipment and a small resource particulate filter (replacement every 50-60 thousand km). If the filter is clogged, traction is lost, and smoke comes out of the exhaust system, like from an old KAMAZ. Also, due to design flaws, the engine control unit suffers ( exposed to moisture and dirt). Of the most expensive problems owners face diesel cars– failure of the dual-mass flywheel ( resource 100-150 thousand km). Signals about the presence of a problem will be knocking and vibrations when changing gears; it is worth noting that the gears are engaged clearly.

Transmission

Buyers of the Opel Astra H were offered three types of gearboxes to choose from - manual, automatic and robot " Easytronic" Mechanics are considered the most problem-free; even a clutch kit lasts 100-120 thousand km. The only thing I can blame Manual transmission, so only for the lack of synchronizers, because of this it does not always turn on correctly reverse gear. Among the shortcomings that owners of cars with manual transmission face are a leak in the rear crankshaft oil seal and a short bearing life. secondary shaft(60-80 thousand km). On some copies, after 70,000 km, cracks appear along the seam of the box. If you feel a shock when switching from first to third gear, it is better to contact a service center, but in most cases, changing the oil is enough to eliminate the problem.

Automatic transmissions are famous for jerking and jerking during gear changes, but you shouldn’t be afraid of this, since this is not a breakdown, but a feature of the transmission. The most common automatic transmission problem is a leak of coolant into the hydraulic circuit of the box, after which the unit completely fails. If the auto neutral fails, cleaning the jet in the box will most likely help. When going to emergency mode The transmission only works in fourth gear. The robotic transmission is very capricious and requires attention every 15,000 km ( Maintenance and clutch adjustment).

During operation, the driven disk is erased, and the point of contact with the basket shifts, but the controller responsible for supplying fuel does not know about the shift in the point of contact and supplies the wrong amount of fuel. As a result, this leads to incorrect operation of the box and premature wear clutch. It is worth noting that even with timely service robotic transmission its resource in in rare cases exceeds 150,000 km. Before buying a car with a robot, be sure to drive it; if there are strong jerks when switching, it is better not to buy such a car.

Features and disadvantages of the used Opel Astra H chassis

Simplicity is the key to reliability; it is on this principle that the suspension of the Opel Astra H was developed; a semi-independent suspension is installed at the rear torsion beam, front – McPherson. If we talk about driving characteristics, the suspension copes well with the realities of our roads, but is characterized by increased noise. If you do not take into account the stabilizer struts and bushings (lifetime 20-40 thousand km), the most weak point considered to be running support bearings, and steering rods, their service life, in most cases, does not exceed 60,000 km. Wheel bearings (sensorABS becomes unusable after 50,000 km) And ball joints at average loads they take care of 50-70 thousand km. The remaining suspension elements last 100,000 km or more.

The weakest point in the steering mechanism is steering rack, as a rule, begins to knock after 100,000 km, also, a fluid leak may appear, this, over time, can lead to destruction of the unit, but if the problem is noticed and corrected in time, complications can be avoided. Towards reliability brake system there are no complaints, the only thing the owners complain about is the short service life of the front pads (30,000 km).

Salon

The interior of the Opel Astra is made in a simple style, but at the same time, the manufacturer used fairly high-quality materials, but despite this, almost every car has crickets in the interior. The car cannot boast of the reliability of the interior electrical equipment. The main problem in electronics is incorrect work buttons on the steering wheel and steering column control levers, the reason is a faulty steering column SIM module. There are also complaints about the control system climate system, or, more precisely, to the air recirculation damper. The problem manifests itself as a characteristic cracking noise from under the console.

Result:

In terms of reliability Opel AstraH not much different from its competitors, but due to the low cost of maintenance and repairs, this car is one of the most interesting representatives golf class on the secondary market.

Advantages:

• Large selection of body types.
• Good quality interior trim.
• Economical engines.

Flaws:

• Stiff suspension.
• Poor visibility.
• Small resource robotic box transmission

➖ Low-mounted front spoiler
➖ Not enough space in the back

The advantages and disadvantages of the Opel Astra N 2016-2017 were identified based on reviews from real owners. More detailed pros and cons of the station wagon, sedan and hatchback Opel Astra H 1.6 and 1.8 with manual and automatic can be found in the stories below:

Owner reviews

Ride quality is beyond praise. I was also pleased with the salon. In principle, the car is reliable, the appetite is moderate, but it depends on how you drive: 8-10 liters in the city if it’s calm, and 10-13 liters if you’re drowning. The Z18XER motor is the best in this line, it handles frosts without problems, but the owner doesn’t like his head.

The undoubted disadvantages include:

1) The view from it is the same as from a tank, that is, none.
2) Opel gearboxes, but I was lucky here - I still have an old F17, it special problems does not know.
3) There is no space at all in the back (but I don’t care, I don’t drive in the back, I don’t have a family, I don’t carry anything more than a sports bag).
4) Small trunk.
5) Because of GTC front bumper With a factory lip, it’s a little scary to drive through yards and especially hard recumbents.

Review of Opel Astra H Hatchback 1.8 (140 hp) with mechanics 2007

Video review

I bought it mainly for my wife, so it’s an automatic. In 4.5 years, 90,000 km - no questions asked. In terms of price/quality ratio, nothing else was even close. In principle, Opels cannot exist without 4 airbags, air conditioning, alarm, and music. Plus another package with seats with a bunch of adjustments and other things. All this cost as much as a naked Fabia with air conditioning and a gun. Real competitors started from +300,000 rubles (Sid and Focus).

Not a plane, but the dynamics are normal. The only fault, the rack rattling in the third year, was replaced under warranty. Thoughts of changing to something else have not yet arisen. Pleases:

— Initially good equipment and inexpensive additional options.
— Small consumption. Approximately 7.2 liters in Moscow, 92nd gasoline.
— Inexpensive materials, spare parts and service.

Alexey, review of Opel Astra H 1.6 with automatic 2011

The quality of the trunk is poor, the rear parcel shelf has fallen out. In general, it’s a shame to complain! The consumption is just strange. At quiet ride(not higher than 2,500 rpm) consumption dropped from 10.7 to 9.8 liters. in the city. And this is not BC. I measured this in reality. But with air conditioning, consumption increases to 13-14 liters. Very scary and upsetting. On the highway it dropped from 8.5 to 7.3 (no faster than 110 km/h). That's fine for me. If you want to overtake on the highway, overtake! The machine is a little slow, but not critical.

In the city, the suspension seems a bit harsh, and the steering is not very light. But on the highway you don’t notice the holes, and the steering handles as required. I traveled 525 km to my homeland. I got out of the car... and it was as if I had never gone anywhere! It’s easy to drive, there’s no tension, I’m completely confident in the car.

Hodovka. After 100,000 km - replacement brake linings front and rear (2.5 TR with work). Replacement of the second wheel hub with hub (6 tr. with work), replacement of steering tips and silent blocks (around 2 tr. with work).

I raped the car off-road, in snow-covered and melted rural areas, in mud, in dust, on rickety roads. I drove at 60 km/h where SUVs crawl at 20 km/h. I caught holes so that the steering wheel was already skewed by 30 degrees. All my thresholds were bent. The car is all jagged from branches and stones. It’s the end of March, but I washed the car at the beginning of October, because there’s no point, there’s dirt ahead!

Engine. The engine, of course, does not tear, it would be necessary to flash it, but it’s enough for me. It usually opens after 3 thousand revolutions, at low speeds it is very difficult - it drives with the sound of clattering fingers and a diesel roar. If not for the weight (over 1.5 tons), then 115 hp. that would be enough. But! The thicker the material, the more reliable the product - Golden Rule engineering! There were times when I covered thousands of kilometers in a week on business trips, and the needle on the highway dropped at 200 km/h.

Salon. Shumka is better than many classmates. All buttons are in their place. Enough visibility. The only discomfort is from sitting; on long trains my neck gets stiff. At 60,000 km the stove began to jingle and creak, I turned it on once and never turned it off again, I only adjusted the temperature according to the weather.

There is enough space in the back, but not enough for large people. I rarely take anyone there, rear seats I use it mainly as an extra luggage compartment. The trunk itself is moderately voluminous; if you remove the shelf, then 4 bags of potatoes will fit quite well.

A playful engine (in sport mode the character of the car noticeably changes towards aggression), durable metal body. Successful suspension settings: in turns it is obedient and clearly reacts to the steering wheel, and on bumps it is very strong.
