How to solve the problem of the Opel Astra H leaking oil from the oil pressure sensor.

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra H - Years 2004-2010
Part: Engine oil

In this video we see how to solve the problem of the Opel Astra H losing oil from the bulb: with the broken bulb, the oil dripped onto the alternator and along the engine block. In this specific case, it is an engine with dual fuel supply with LPG, which consumes a lot of oil, and even with the bulb in good condition, the oil must be topped up regularly; this is due to the engine having a very high temperature. However, if maintenance is carried out regularly, it is a good engine and can cover many kilometers. The bulb can be found on Amazon at a cost of 6.18 euros with code B006DHRDBI, free delivery for Prime customers.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
