Astra Exhaust Is Finished! *First Startup*

[@garriejohn5484]

Cut the old exghuast open so we can see how much oil is still in there like if you agree

[@MS-gb3ev]

Congrats on a job well done. Small hint though - the threads of exhaust U clamps should be facing up toward the floor of the car or sideways. That way they'll have clearance from big bumps or whatever crap might be lying on the road.

[@michaeldavidson4510]

Don't understand why anyone would give this a thumbs down? Bizarre.

[@johnchampkin7839]

Because they're sad, lonely, people with penis issues. Doubt if any of them will reply to that!

[@tonyl1984]

John Champkin no...but they will probably dislike your comment though 🤣

[@andrewmason8844]

Opinions are like arsholes everybody has one it’s what makes the world go round

[@Leatherkid01]

Little tip.... Forget the u clamp and use a band clamp.... Would seal any exhaust leaks :).....love your vids.....lock your shed up .

[@simonparkinson1053]

Nice series on the Astra James. Check out that front O2 sensor, seen so many Bosch ones get a really slow response as they age. Use your scan tool, look at live data and hold the engine at 2000rpm. If the readings are changing rapidly and going over the full range, or at least 200 to 700mV, it's still good. If they sway up and down over the course of a few seconds, it's had it. That will likely cause you some flat spots and even a chance of a P0420 catalyst efficiency code.

[@johndudson8268]

Why dont you Cut the flange off the old back box and have a go at welding it on the irmscher backbox yourself?

[@terryatkinson899]

Cut the flange and pipe off the pea shooter and use that over the pipe on the double d box. You cut a slot in the box pipe and spread it to allow the other pipe slide inside it then bracket them together. Good work done on the engine.

[@donnydefenders]

Well done James. You have done a fantastic job on this. Keep up the good work buddy, I am enjoying the video's.

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Liking the Irmscher double D back box,its certainly looks a lot better,the before and after exhaust comparison way better,you are doing a grand job on that Astra looking well smart.

[@Parknest]

Congrats on a job well done. This is a testament to your hard work. I'd have another MK4 Astra in a heartbeat.

[@becomematrix]

Nice to see your work has been paying off.

[@geofham8332]

Hi, like your vids. The gap in rear spoiler is to improve air flow under the car ,let it flow out. Just bend bars on exhaust box down to raise it up no parts needed.

[@gresty]

The more i see your stuff mate, the more I want another mk4 Astra lol.

[@evojigger]

Was that new exhaust pipe blowing out the welds on the down pipe?? great job on the engine rebuild btw

[@BenofYoutube]

Only the later mk4s had the bolt on fixing, the rest were slide on. Most people just chop it off and either weld them on or use a sleeved. A lot easier

[@wingzero283]

Benjamin Williams I had a V, T & 52 reg Astra’s all 8v with a flange backbox, only the 53 16v had a slide on.

[@RustyArtz]

My favourite channel on KZbin exceptional content keep up the good work 👍🏻👍🏻

[@sergysguy]

Can you please show us in the next Astra video, how do you fix the exhaust leak? :D

[@Phil-1969]

Well done James First class work as always, you are the best KZbinr by far, on cars , you know how to make a excellent video and you come across very well, you really need to start your own business up and make ago of it your do well, Cheers Phil

[@jameswallace7709]

Use copper grease instead of exhaust paste as paste cracks as the exhaust rattles. Grease flexes plus will come off easy

[@aaron1553]

Congrats on 28k 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@MarkieC1990]

You getting any Tshirts as well as hoodies mate? Don’t know if it was an illusion but the welds on the downpipe from the cat looked as if they were blowing?

[@SB-li8zz]

silly question but were can you put axle stands on front of car instead of on sills on a astra h

[@andreweastlake6602]

What was the tool called that he used to tighten the 02 sensor

[@jackchidgey4877]

Good work!

[@DrummerBoii1411]

Just goes to show a car can be repaired. Just takes a little heart to fix it. And even then it takes less heart and more head to make sure you’re maintaining and servicing your car properly too 😂

As it's not being driven on road, why don't you just fit the double D saving time, effort and money? The DD looks great btw 😊

[@TheHunterg30]

Try MIKALOR clamps. They are better and easier to use than the old U clamps

[@stephenwales6715]

Dune well bro steph

[@SuperFIFTHGEAR]

Was somebody actually driving the Astra around like that with it smoking before you got it? Great job! Bet you feel so satisfied, and that all the small frustrations were worth it. You've earned a beer on this haha. Are you a Vauxhall fan - having this Astra, other Astra's previously and the Corsa's, or is it just because they're readily available, affordable and parts are plentiful...?

NightcoreCentral if it was a chain driven engine I would agree lol it's a belt mate

[@zhoaibraja2992]

I think that might be his AC compressor pump.. I got a 1.7cdti MK4 GSi replica sounds the same on idle.. and mine's timing belt.. could be chain but the AC compressors are common to go on these especially with high mileage cars and cats which haven't had the AC used much
