Hi, Im living in Turkey and i have a Astra K 1.4t registered 2016. I have a piston issue. I want to write it down here to get some answers.
First of all, im so sorry about my language cuz my english is not good.
My car is astra k 1.4t automatic. Its registered in 07/16. I bought it from another province with bodykit in 11/16. My car is just fine. It didn't have none of any problems that other users have which is not a trim sounds in display,front console any interior. Until 1 month ago. 1 month ago my car have started to lose power in ramps. I mean before i was climbing ramp with 80km/h but now in the same ramp, my car couldn't reach to 80km/h. It drove at 50km/h and not upgrading gear, engine screams . But that loosing power was rare about 1 of the 20 driving.
And one thing happened yesterday. I was riding in highway and my car was shaking me like a massage chair :shock: . .However, this shaking occured at the speed 0-20kmh(12mph) and above 100kmh(60mph), not at the speed 20-100kmh(12-60mph). And then, after the auto-stop, the car didn't reach above 40kmh(25mph). All system stopped working front display and gived infos. After that, it said Service:ESC. And my engine light turned on. I turned my signals and slowed my car. Called opel asistant and with a tow we pull my car to service. My car is 11.800km / 7300mile..
Service said that my first piston is losing power. Its not working with other pistons properly. They said that we have to open engine and see whats wrong. I gave the permission. Now they are opening my engine. I was aware of that problem but i was not have any symptomps.. I shocked.
I asked to service worker. Most likely my all pistons and a lot of things will change. And i learned that gm (my car is opel) developed a new piston.(forged piston)
My questions are;
1- After changing pistons, is anyone face the same issue? Is anyone pistons broke again?
2- After changing pistons and engine removal, any changes of the fuel economy and car performance?
3- What will we do? Should we use the car or sell the car?
Thanks for now.
King regards.
