VAUXHALL ASTRA VXR INTERCOOLER INSTALL (PART 1) AGAIN

[@max-rf6fm]

I take my hat off to you pal. I've learnt loads from you and appreciate you showing the wins and losses. You've made that car your own; not a garage. Respect pal 💪

[@JustbeingHayden]

Thanks man and I’m glad I could help you 👊 👍

[@max-rf6fm]

Gotta say that's a bit shit MTC nit supplying instructions. Glad you're keeping it. Once you've completed it, you'll love it all the more. It'll be something that has you blood sweat, tears and expletives in 🤣 I do little bits at a time on mine. Just started replacing the water pipes for silicone. Already changed the air intakes. Just got a crossover delete, need to buy an air filter and I'll put that on. I get a buzz knowing that I've done it and not paid a garage. Take no heed of the keyboard warriors they're not real petrol heads 👍

Glad I can Brighten up your Saturday night man 👍👊

[@jasonhoward513]

Dont listen to people telling you to tale it to a garage mate, keep sticking with it i started in the same place as you teaching myself now im a qualified engineer, mechanic, welder...you gotta start somewhere just keep doing what ya doing man.....enjoying the vids and like how genuine you are dude keep up the good work

[@JustbeingHayden]

Thanks Jason 👊👍

[@stu8998]

Yes man, good to see the passion back.

[@EMJ754]

I’m honestly amazed at you make such simple jobs look so incredibly difficult 😂

[@James-ns6jm]

Not going to lie i thought that was a lass at first in those nike trainers. @14:40 Wasn't till later on i found out i was wrong lol. Anyways bro, try not to let it get you down. Keep trying like you have. As i've found things never go your way at first with cars. Or not as intended. Gotta find other ways of doing things to make it work. Glad you got the cooler bolted on though, piping should be a breeze compared lol. Try to let your car warm up as well before putting your foot down. Or that could be partially why oil is ending up in your piping. But also could be the turbo seals being slightly worn so keep that in mind mate. So from now on let it warm up don't be pedal to the metal just after a cold start lol. Though to be fair you probably already do this! Anyway another great vid mate as always!

[@JustbeingHayden]

Thanks bro and my brother and his girlfriend have the same trainers 👟 so it probably was a girl in the shot at some point 👍 thanks man ❤️👊

[@711gsxrblah]

Well done mate, You can only learn by doing it. Great video.. Part 2 now.... BTW just remove all the AC rad etc.

[@JustbeingHayden]

Cheers buddy

[@magic2427]

Keep up the good work malk 👍🏼👍🏼

[@colintx800]

5:11 Don't put yourself down man! Yeah you make mistakes that could be avoided sometimes but you don't need to justify yourself to these people. These so called professionals won't even make a video, You do what makes you happy :)

[@JustbeingHayden]

👊👍👍👍

[@haydensmith9988]

Great video mate, it makes an different when you think about it for an day or two.fair play for sticking with the original plan to stage 3 it looking forward to them videos already.

[@JustbeingHayden]

Nice one man yeah so am I 🔥👊👍👍

[@mattb19944]

Well this video was so much better than the last one you didn't morning complain and you actually got it fitted so well done to you good video

[@JustbeingHayden]

Yes man 👊👍👍👍

[@kieran5009]

Good job bud. Leave grill in mate, protects cooler & the ends of the grill are blanked off to direct air into cooler and not straight passed either side of it👍🏻 Plus looks chavvy with no grill😜

[@haydensmith9988]

Kieran P I am with you no the grill leave it on.

[@JustbeingHayden]

You might be right there if it was a big gobstopper I probably would of taken it out 👍 can’t wait to put the finishing bits on and take it for a spin 👊

[@kieran5009]

@@JustbeingHayden right choice bud👌🏻. Tbh mate without the map tweek you won't really notice a difference. Just be careful, the ecu on these can only self adjust so much when it comes to fueling etc. Alot more air from the bigger cooler and not enough fuel means you'll be running lean on full boost. Just a heads up from my own experience with running lean after my airtec was installed😕lol 👍🏻.

[@JustbeingHayden]

Cheers chap

[@GCMYT]

Nice video dude

[@JustbeingHayden]

My guy 👍👊

[@BigDaddy-kx9cx]

Is their any reason why u can’t just leave the old intercooler in and fit the new one on aswell saves tryna reattach the air con

[@badboi162]

Try taking grill out see how it looks if don’t like it then put it back if :) Pleased your keeping it for a while

[@S3_AJP]

If your not bothered about a/c get rid of that condenser rad, I’m doing mine soon as it blocks my intercooler similar to how your old one is between the rad and condenser and the updated one I got doesn’t sit where your new one is it sits in the original spot

[@JustbeingHayden]

👊👍

[@stephenrolfe6484]

Well done 👍 all good in the end. perseverance will conquer, usually. Love watching the videos by the way.

[@JustbeingHayden]

Haha thanks a lot fella 👊👍

Definitely 🕺

[@LeezyPD170]

My only concern is the fan rubbing 18:19

[@davidhaygarth648]

Very close as standard too...

[@granttravers3205]

Ya bang on money with it mate now ya didn’t have to drill the ac rad though but it’s worked and sits right

[@aaronraffermati9321]

Well done mate glad your keeping it to finish it off! Just subscribed mate keep up the good work! Everyone who works on cars knows you need patience, as nearly everytime something always goes wrong haha👌

[@JustbeingHayden]

You know it Aaron 👊🤛🏼

[@the_time_chambers_edge]

Decent job mate, intercooler on nicely but that bent rad would annoy me if it was my car, also maybe a small chance of it rubbing and causing damage long term with vibration. It’s was much easier on my corsa vxr haha. Will look even better with matching silicone boost pipes and maybe silicone rad pipes too. That’s what I’ve done 💪😝

[@sh4n4mkh]

Aha much better video lad, glad your almost there let me know if you need to look at my intercooler piping I'm only round the corner 💪🏽

[@JustbeingHayden]

Cheers dude

[@gotcha2.04]

[@steveb19111978]

Not gonna lie mate, really enjoy watching your content. I'd either leave the front grill on or maybe look at an after market product?

[@JustbeingHayden]

Cheers man

[@aaronrobson1147]

Cheers for your videos been helpful 👍🏻

[@christhommesen5514]

Really helpful mate 👍🏻

[@S3_AJP]

Do an A3 intercooler then you think this is easy lol I did mine thinking maybe hour and half maybe 2 and I’ll be done 6 hours later and the whole front end off pretty much, but glad your cracking on with it after all you have put a lot of money into getting it clean, keep up the hard work brother

[@JustbeingHayden]

Thanks bro

[@josshhhc711]

Last thing you want to is get annoyed at a car, best thing to do is have a break and come back to it with a fresh head and also do the air con delete

[@JustbeingHayden]

I will have a look in to the ac delete tbh man 👍

[@teamgaming1294]

Nice work dude, you'll enjoy it with the intercooler the turbo will spool quicker and will sound a lot louder... is yours mapped yet?

[@JustbeingHayden]

Not yet matey

[@astravxrred1085]

Well done mate. Looking to do mine soon. Video helped alot. Thought about airtec. This intercooler as good as that? Cheers

[@JustbeingHayden]

I’m told they are pretty much exactly the same but ones nearly double the price 🤷🏼‍♂️

Yeah ive done some research a little amount is normal

[@Did_ye_aye_836]

Love the videos, I’m looking to buy a blue Astra vxr, what would you say a fair price is for them.😉👍🏻

[@SephirotHeRe]

Did_Ye_Aye_836 buying a car always depends on mileage for the price, what mileage is it on?

[@JustbeingHayden]

Yeah I think you’d be looking between 4to6k for one 👍

[@Did_ye_aye_836]

The car is just under 6000 and it’s done 82000 miles that’s a 09 plate. 😉👍🏻

[@JustbeingHayden]

Seems a bit much I paid 6k for mine with 72k nearly 3 years ago is that a dealer your looking at?

[@Did_ye_aye_836]

Yes that’s a dealership, was going to haggle him down 😂

[@jackmaslin123]

next time you take the crash bar off flip the bolts makes it s lot easier next time. otherwise love the videos.

Yep I did it this time haha

Hi I'm have a problem with my coilovers. Can you or anyone help me? I have a Astra H GSI or in other country it's called the SRI, I want to install coilovers but fear it would pose a problem for the CDC system on the car or IDS+ system
