Holden Astra 2005: Transmission radiator failure

...

My 2005 AH Holden Astra has only done 92,000 km but has just blown the automatic transmission due to the radiator failing leaving me with a repair quote of $4000. Is this a common problem with this model car?

It isn’t a common problem, as it is on the BA/BF Falcon, but it is known to occur on the Astra. Because it has only done 92,000 km I would approach your dealer, and Holden, and request their help in covering the cost of the repair even though it is strictly out of warranty.
