| Problems: | This is a 2005 Opel Astra, 1600cc with an easytronic gerabox. 114,000 km. The problem started as I began to hear noise, a bump, when the car was slowing down and going from second gear to first. I took the car to an opel garage and they didn't detect any problem when they checked it with the computer. They said it's a problem in the Sync of the gear and there is nothing to be done. 2 days later, the noise began to appear also from third gear to second. After another day and all of a sudden the gear display disappeared and the car stopped working. I couldn't turn it on any more. At the garage I was told that the engine which operates the gear is now damaged. I was told that the sync problem in the transmission caused the damage in the engine, and that I have to replace all the gearbox. From your experience, will replacing the engine on the gear be enough? Thanks |
