My 1.6 Turbo Astra has had a misfire since I bought it (it has been the subject of a recent forum). The local dealership have had it in 4 times and have told me that this is "just the way these cars are" as it is a common thing with the 1.6 Turbo and the Astra/Corsa VXR to give a hesitation under load!!!!

If any of you out there have these cars do you have the same misfire, which happens when accelerating, steadily and not harshly, though it can happen at any time is worse in the wet/cold. The car also loses power sometines when moving off - the engine keeps going but it just has no power until you floor the throttle, then it coughs into life!

Please, if you have the same issue can you let me know - I have complained to VX Customer Service, who are investigating with the dealer.

The car may go to another dealer soon.

Yup, see my other reply to you. My 1.6T is the same I believe, its 4 weeks old.
