  Website to monitor fuel usage/ mpg
Posted by: grahamfromoldham - 30:th-Jan-2015, 21:45:28 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (2)

I have just posted this in a posting on the forum but thought it might be useful to stick it here too:

A year or so ago, a friend introduced me to http://www.fuelly.com which is free to join. It tracks your mpg to put it simple. Basically when you fill up, on your receipt will be how much you spent, price per litre and how many litres you filled up with. Each time you fill up, reset your trip meter and go to the fuelly website with how much you filled up with etc and it works out your fuel usage. I have a 2010 Astra 1.7cdti Elite and my average mpg according to fuelly (it averages your mpg from all the details you enter over each time) I am getting 47 mpg.
My best mpg has been 53 mpg
I have filled up 41 times
Total miles tracked 14,765
Cost per mile £0.127.

Tip - When you enter a fuel up, do not tick the 'This is a partial fuel up' box at the bottom as this affects the graph that plots your fill ups over the year.

You can also browse other Fuelly users vehicles to see what mpg others are achieving Yippe

  Brakes questions - squeaking noise, rust, quality.
Posted by: Dman86 - 27:th-Jan-2015, 14:30:04 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC Common Problems - Replies (6)

Hello guys,

Did a 60,000 KM service exactly one month ago.
I changed the front and rear pads + the rear discs, along with other things.

The car brakes fine, but there's a really annoying squeaking noise.
I called the garage and they said that there shouldn't be any squeaking noise at all, even if the discs and pads aren't original.
I'm gonna go there next week, but I wanted to check with you guys first.

1) Is squeaking normal with brand new discs and pads?

2) I have a lot of dust on my alloys, is it related to the quality of the pads?

3) I also have a lot of rust..or yellowish stuff on the rear discs - How normal is that? I saw more then a few cars with polished, silver, out of the box looking discs..nothing like mine. Is there a way to avoid it? Or is it quality related as well?

4) If I would to improve my "braking ability" - Is there a recommended discs/pads company out there in the market? (fitting an Astra J obviously). I heard of REMSA & LUCAS, but I know nothing about them. (Just for the sake of knowledge - Money is no object).

Thanks a lot in advance,
