    Used Holden Astra review: 1998-2004
    By Graham Smith · 8 February 2018
    It’s not so long ago that small cars like the Astra meant little to Holden as Australians eagerly swooped on every full-sized car the company could produce.

    The transmission in my Berlina has collapsed
    Answered by Graham Smith · 13 October 2016

    Yes, it can be rebuilt or replaced and an automatic transmission specialist would be able to do that for you. Cost for the job would be around $2000 to rebuild or replace the transmission on a changeover basis.

    Best used compact SUV?

    You will get great value and a classy car in the Suzuki Grand Vitara. The CR-V also goes well and is slightly better value than a RAV4.

    Holden Astra 2001: What is causing it to cut out?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 8 October 2015

    Putting Premium unleaded in it won't help. The problem is likely to be partially blocked fuel-injectors and I would suggest you have them cleaned.

    Holden Astra 2001: How much is it worth?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 23 October 2014

    Our price guide puts the value of a 2001 Astra at between $1500 and $3500, which means you are trying to sell your car at the high end of the range. To achieve your price you would have to repair the air-conditioning, so it's worth spending the money. Air is an expected feature today and the value of a car with an air-con that's not working would be most unappealing. If you don't fix it I would put the value at around $1000-$1500.

    Holden Astra 2001: Engine warning light coming on regularly
    Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 17 April 2013

    It sounds as though there could be a problem with the belt, perhaps it hasn't been installed correctly, and the timing is now out. The best course would be to take it to a Holden dealer and get them to sort it out.

    Holden Astra 2001: What are the servicing intervals after 120,000km?
    Answered by CarsGuide team · 24 February 2011

    On the basis that you're doing 12,000 km per year I would have the car serviced every six months, and have the timing belt changed every four years.

    Holden Astra 2001: How much does the timing belt cost to replace?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 9 November 2010

    Typically it takes about four hours to do the work and most mechanics charge around $80 per hour, so you’re looking at about $320 for the labour only.
