Is the Astra 1.7 engine reliable?
Vauxhall Astra 2013 1.7 CDTi ecoFLEX 16v Exclusiv (s/s) 5dr 130K mileage. are these good engines, are they reliable.
Our answer:
Hi Brian,
Other than a few relatively small niggles, the 1.7-litre diesel engine in that Astra is reliable, yes. We wouldn't be worried about 130,000km on the clock, so long as it has been properly serviced.
