FYI, if anybody is struggling with their seat getting jammed on re-installation/ removal, you may find it easier to separate the sliding bottom from the top seat cushions. (4 alan key bolts on the height adjustable drivers seat, or 4 12mm i think bolts on the passenger seat. You will also need to cut the cable ties holding the heated seat elements to the sliding mechanism.) I've also swapped the bottom cushion, side trims and rails, so if anybody is struggling send me a message!!

Nice project, good luck with it! Regarding the ‘rev counter’, it’s actually a fuel flow meter that was standard on all later model Trabis, nicknamed the mäusekino: ‘mouse cinema’. If yours is still hooked up, it’s powered by a little turbine in the middle of the fuel line down the bottom of the offside front wing just before the carb.
@pongsgarage3 ай бұрын
Alright! I didn’t know that. Just made a guess at it being a rev counter as it seemed to move according to the engine speed and not being standard as I’ve only seen it in a few Trabis. Learning every day!

It’s on the bottom of the seat, one has to feel for it as it’s almost impossible so see when the seat is mounted in the car. When the seat reaches the right position after some jiggling, it’ll just “pop” out of the car.

What many D5 owners don't know is that if there's an awful wet plopping noise coming from their oil filler, it's caused by a vacuum leak. The pump vents excess air in the system through its oil feed from the exhaust camshaft. Many owners either think, or have been told they have some sort of catastrophic engine problem, whereas it's usually just a knackered vacuum engine mount allowing air into the system. lift the revs a little and if the noise goes, it's definitely a mount as the vac feed to them is shut off above idle. It's a good idea to fix the issue sooner rather than latter as it can lead to oil starvation to the vac pump and they're not cheap to replace.

Well as a Volvoniac myself those are things that I'm quite aware of. I've had a 240, 740, 850 (all wagons) and currently I have V70 II facelift (P2 platform). What I'm most amazed of is the fact, that the Astra J Wagon I had between the 850 and V70 II did all of those Volvo things too (Including the "windows" trick which all pre-V70 III generations lacked) and in a pretty similar way and the whole car felt like a Volvo too. I have a strong suspicion that either key engineers who worked on 850/V70 worked on Astra J or Opel/Vaughall had those cars for inspiration. The similarities were more than just mere coincidences. I drove the Astra for 230 000 kms and I was more and more amazed by details and little volvo pecularities I discovered. I even called it "the honorary Volvo". Apart from the 1.4T engine and old GM automatic transmission, which were very un-volvo-like and both failed miserably.
@pongsgarage6 ай бұрын
I’ve never tried the Astra J but I’ve always thought of it as being a rather nice car. Not dull or boring like so many other cars from the 00s and 10s. It’s more of a happy little terrier from what I’ve heard.

@@pongsgarage It has an astonishingly good suspension capable of very high speeds, cornering and splendid control under any circumstances on any surface. It has interior quality miles above any VW or Audi. After 250 000 km it had NO wear signs whatsoever. It's a great looking, well though trough, well built car. Everything's perfect apart from the engine, mainly turbocharging and carbonisation in manual version (because of underrevving which auto doesn't allow) and the bloody awful old-ass GM auto. Which is a junk. Otherwise Astra J is one of the best cars in its class.

I don't like the ones when it unlocks when you're near. I'm happy with pressing an unlocked button on the fob but then I keep the key I'm my pocket and press the start button. I've had 2 ford's for the last 10 years simultaneously. The automatic without the ignition key. Is so much better for me than the manual with the ignition key. The latter should be going anytime soon.
