"ASTRA": LOGICAL FORECAST
The costs of maintaining the basic model, although higher than those of some competitors (ZR, 2011, No. 12), remain quite acceptable. The sports modification of the OPC does not lend itself to such an accurate forecast, since a lot here depends on the driving ambitions of the previous owner. Of course, in general these cars get much more, especially in terms of brakes and clutch.
The compact van "Zafira V", built on the basis of the "Astra N", has a similar list of diseases, however, problems with the engine radiator and support bearings of the struts did not affect it, since there is a different set of components and assemblies, and some suspension parts have also been strengthened. Therefore, when you are convinced that cars built on the same platform suffer from the same birth defects, know that this is not always the case.

Where is it located, price, originals, analogues, articles
Engineers recommend inspecting the TF every 45,000 km. If your car is systematically filled with low-quality fuel, the filter replacement life will be reduced by several thousand kilometers. Natural sediment forms at the bottom of the tank, clogging the fibers of the cleaner.
The filter has a non-separable design and cannot be prevented or repaired.
Signs of a clogged fuel filter on an Opel Astra
- unstable start of the power unit at different temperature conditions;
- increased fuel consumption;
- engine detonation at idle speed;
- acceleration is slower than usual;
- lumbago in the exhaust pipe;
- enriched or lean fuel mixture;
- The “Check Engine” light on the instrument panel is on.
Causes of filter clogging on Opel Astra (Opel Astra H)
- operating the vehicle for longer than the recommended period before undergoing a scheduled technical inspection;
- filling the tank with low-quality fuel, low-octane mixture for a long time;
- purchase of non-original consumables;
- the machine was left idle for a long time, in the “preservation” mode, as a result of which natural sediment formed in the circuit.
Fuel cell diagnostics on an Opel Astra
- Stop the engine and open the hood.
- Inspect the fuel circuit for damage.
- Check the serviceability of the fuse (No. 14) of the mounting block, it is located under the dashboard, to the left of the steering wheel;
- Check the tightness of the fuel supply line and make sure there are no fuel leaks.
If there are no comments on the integrity of the circuit, then proceed to replacing the TF.

When to change, what interior to install
To perform scheduled maintenance operations, there are regulations, as well as manufacturer recommendations. According to them, replacing the cabin filter of the Opel Astra II G heating and air conditioning system should be done every 15,000 kilometers or once a year.
Characteristic symptoms:
- Windows often fog up;
- the appearance of unpleasant odors in the cabin when the airflow is turned on;
- deterioration of the stove and air conditioner;
They may make you doubt that the filter element is coping with its tasks and an unscheduled replacement will be required. In principle, these symptoms should be relied upon when choosing the correct replacement interval.
Suitable sizes
When choosing a filter element, owners do not always use products recommended by the car manufacturer. Everyone has their own reasons for this, some say that the original is unreasonably expensive. Some people in the region sell only analogues, so there is a need to know the sizes by which you can subsequently make a selection.
For DELPHI heater:
- Height: 30 mm
- Width: 199 mm
- Length: 302 mm
For BEHR heater:
- Height: 30 mm
- Width: 236 mm
- Length: 263 mm
As a rule, sometimes analogues for the Opel Astra II G can be a few millimeters larger or smaller than the original, there is nothing wrong with that. And if the difference is measured in centimeters, then of course it’s worth looking for another option.
Selecting an original cabin filter
The manufacturer recommends using exclusively original consumables, which, in general, is not surprising. They themselves are of good quality and are widely available in car dealerships, but their price may seem overpriced to many car owners.
Regardless of the configuration, on all second-generation Opel Astras (including the restyled version), the manufacturer recommends installing the following cabin air filters. Dust with DELPHI heater number 6808606 (Opel 68 08 606) or General Motors GM 13175553. And also dust for BEHR heater with item number 6808611 (Opel 68 08 611) or General Motors GM 93182436.
When choosing between a dust and carbon product, car owners are advised to use a carbon filter element. This filter is more expensive, but it cleans the air much better.
It is easy to distinguish - the paper filter accordion is impregnated with a carbon composition, and therefore has a dark gray color. The filter cleans the air flow from dust, fine dirt, germs, bacteria and enhances the protection of your lungs.
Which analogues to choose
In addition to simple cabin filters, there are also carbon filters that filter the air more effectively, but they are more expensive. The advantage of coal SF is that it does not allow foreign odors coming from the road (street) to penetrate into the car interior.
But this filter element also has a drawback - air does not pass through it well. GodWill and Corteco carbon filters are of fairly high quality and are a good replacement for the original.
However, in some retail outlets the price of the original cabin filter for the second generation Opel Astra may be greatly inflated. In this case, it makes sense to purchase a non-original consumable item. In particular, cabin filters are considered quite popular.
If the heater is DELPHI:
Conventional dust cabin filters
- MANN-FILTER CU3054 – high-tech consumables from a well-known manufacturer
- BIG Filter GB-9879 – popular brand, good fine cleaning
- TSN 9.7.75 is a good manufacturer with an affordable price
Carbon cabin filters
- MANN-FILTER CUK 3054 – high-quality and thick carbon coating
- BIG Filter GB-9879/C – activated carbon
- Raf filter RSTC005CHEY – normal quality, affordable price
If the heater is BEHR:
Conventional dust cabin filters
- MANN-FILTER CU2757 – high-tech consumables from a well-known manufacturer
- BIG Filter GB-9875 – popular brand, good fine cleaning
- TSN 9.7.49 is a good manufacturer with an affordable price
Carbon cabin filters
- MANN-FILTER CUK 2757 – high-quality and thick carbon coating
- BIG Filter GB-9875/C – activated carbon
- Ru54 CF-1055C – normal quality, affordable price
It makes sense to take a closer look at the products of other companies - they also specialize in the production of high-quality consumables for passenger cars:
- Amd
- Bosch
- Denso
- Filtron
- Fortech
- JS Asakashi
- Knecht Mahle
- Kortex
- Masuma
- Miles
- Raf filter
- SCT
- Sakura
- Stellox
- Valeo
- Zekkert
- Nevsky filter
It is quite possible that sellers may recommend replacing the Astra II G cabin filter with non-original cheap substitutes with a much smaller thickness. They are not worth buying, since their filtering characteristics are unlikely to be at the proper level.

Location of the fuel filter in the Opel Astra
As for the arrangement of elements. As stated in the operating instructions, petrol modifications of the Opel Astra N use an integrated fuel pump module, which includes a fuel filter (hereinafter referred to as PF). According to the manufacturer, it is not possible to replace this element separately, since it is changed along with the fuel pump.
Fuel pump Opel Astra N
In turn, on a petrol Opel Astra J TF is located under the bottom of the car, so its replacement is provided by the manufacturer. The process itself is not labor-intensive and can be done by every motorist.
As for the diesel modifications of the Opel Astra, according to the manufacturer, the fuel purification element is external, that is, its replacement is provided. This component is located in the engine compartment. According to the official vehicle maintenance schedule, this procedure must be performed every 30 thousand km, but at least once every two years. And if we take into account the possibility of refueling a car with low-quality gasoline when a non-original element is installed, then the component should be replaced at least every 20 thousand kilometers. Also, owners of diesel units are advised to change the fuel pump before the onset of winter cold in order to improve fuel pumping during start-up.
