How much does maintenance cost Opel Astra J
To sum up how much money it will take to service an Opel Astra J, it is correct to break it down into cars with and without air conditioning, as well as by type of gearbox. Based on the above basic maintenance and each subsequent for all cars (changing engine oil and oil filter) will be approximately $20 (oil) and $5 (filter) total 25$. That's how much a five-liter canister of GM Dexos2 5W30 synthetic oil costs. For engines of 1.6 liters, it will come out back to back, since the volume of the system in them is about 5 liters. For 1.4 liter engines, about 1 liter will remain for topping up in which case.
Second MOT the modification of Opel Astra J is also similar for all, namely: basic maintenance $ 25, air filter replacement $ 6.5, cabin filter replacement $ 8, spark plug replacement $ 24, total 63.5$.
Third MOT different from cars with automatic and mechanics. It differs in that, according to the regulations, the oil change in the gearbox on cars with manual transmission is carried out at 45 thousand km., Therefore: for mechanics TO3 \u003d TO1 + oil change in the gearbox. The result of the manual transmission = $ 43, automatic transmission = $ 25. The fourth MOT is also different for manual transmission and automatic transmission, different in that this time we change the oil in the automatic transmission, because it is already 60 thousand km. run. Therefore, for automatic transmission TO4 = TO1 + TO2 + oil change. The result of TO4: manual transmission = $ 63.5 automatic transmission = 97.5$
Fifth MOT identical for everyone, it is equal to the base TO. Total $25.
Sixth MOT at the same time the most different and the most expensive for all cars. It’s very different because it matters which engine is 1.4l or 1.6l, whether or not an air conditioner is installed, since here you need to change the timing belt and drive belt, and possibly also the tension roller. Owners of manual transmission will have to fork out especially. And so, not to describe everything possible options Let's take two cars with a 1.6 LET / XER engine with air conditioning, manual transmission and automatic transmission. Total TO6 for Automatic transmission = $ 120.5 For Manual transmission = $ 138.5. It will probably cost $70 more if you also replace the tensioner pulley.
Seventh MOT= TO1. Total $25.
Eighth MOT identical with TO2 for vehicles with Manual transmission = $63.5 and identical with TO4 for vehicles with Automatic transmission = $97.5.
These prices for routine maintenance are relevant if all work is done independently. The average cost for an oil and filter change in a service station is 500 rubles, an oil change in a checkpoint is 800 rubles. Replacement of candles, cabin and air filters - all for 300 rubles for one service. Replacing the drive belt is 200 rubles, and replacing the timing belt is as much as 3200 rubles! As you can see, if you do everything yourself, you can save a lot of money!
The maintenance procedure is mandatory for all vehicles. There are certain requirements for the implementation of TO-2 Opel Astra J.
Every 15,000 kilometers, the Opel Astra J maintenance period is coming up. Basically, technical fluids and consumables change in the car. Sometimes additional diagnostics of external lighting devices is required, electronic systems and running gear.
The maintenance procedure must be carried out in service center official dealer stamps. In this case, you can hope for high quality work and no risk of being removed from the factory warranty. Also, all the operations performed are recorded as a history in a special service book, after which a stamp is placed in the latter confirming the visit to the dealer. It is worth noting that the maintenance schedule for one modification may differ from others.
For example, the GTC body (three-door hatchback) has an OPC modification, which is equipped with a two-liter turbo engine and a technological suspension. For such a vehicle, the cost of repairs and maintenance procedures performed may be more than for standard versions.
Self-service cars will have to give up the factory warranty on the car. In doing so, you can save a significant amount of money. The official representative office rates its maintenance activities in the form of standard hours, while in a regular service only the list of work done is paid.
periodic Maintenance(TO) car Opel Astra J this is a necessary procedure, which is provided by the vehicle manufacturer. The timing of maintenance coincides with the timing of an oil change, usually it is 10-15 thousand kilometers. We recommend that you change the oil and carry out maintenance at least 10 thousand kilometers. What are the reasons for such numbers? Yes, everything is very simple. Typically, the manufacturer is cunning, indicating 15-20 thousand kilometers as the oil change interval. These intervals are calculated for the so-called "normal operating conditions". What are normal conditions? This is gasoline or diesel fuel of the appropriate quality for our engine, this is oil of the appropriate quality and a temperature of the middle range, somewhere between -5 +20, as well as soils like road surfaces should be excluded ... It follows that the operation of a car in the vastness of our country does not fits into “normal conditions” and rather corresponds to severe operating conditions, for which not all manufacturers have prescribed maintenance intervals. Therefore, we took the mileage of 10 thousand kilometers as an average, suitable for most modern cars including Opel Astra J .
Periodic maintenance consists of general procedures that are performed at each maintenance and additional work which are carried out on certain runs or periods of operation of the car.
