    Hi Steve Wozny, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box?

    Sure, thanks.
    I noticed a rough idle yesterday. I am the original owner. It has 120,000 miles on it. I do most maintenance. About 3 months ago I cleaned the throttle body which removed the CE light. I had a salesman sell me on a tranny flush two months ago - maybe a bad idea. New sparks 5,000 miles ago, oil change last week. I have never had a rough idle and a bit of loss of power like this. CE light came on today immediately after I added two bottles of Sea Foam with a fresh tank of gas. A coincidence? I'm thinking maybe bad gas is the culprit - though my gas was from my usual station and 3/4ths of the tank was used before this rough idle happened yesterday. All belts are maintained per manual. The only difference in routine: I used the AC twice this week for the first time since summer. THANKS!

SOURCE: can 2008 saturn astra be dinghy towed(4 wheels down)behind an RV?

You can do it if you really wanted to. You'll need to make sure the steering wheel is secured and that the wheels are perfectly straight or you will wreck the front tires. You will be adding unneeded mileage onto the the car by having the front wheels turning. would be better and less costly overall to get trailer that you can put the front end up on.

SOURCE: opel astra headlight adjustment

two screws on each headlight control the direction the headlights are aimed. One screw, usually at the top but sometimes below the headlight, adjusts the headlight up and down. The other screw, located to one side, controls the headlight from right to left. Turning the appropriate screw one direction or the other will change the direction the headlight points.
In order to aim your headlights you need to have a flat vertical surface you can aim your headlights at in front of a level surface on which to park the car. If your driveway is level your garage door is the perfect place to aim your headlights.
The tools you will need for this job are simple. Masking tape is used to mark where the headlights are to be aimed and a screwdriver is needed to adjust the headlights. A tape measure will be necessary to measure the distance of the vehicle to the surface you're using to check the aim and to measure the up and down distances from your marks

SOURCE: Is there any grease zirks on the 2008 Saturn astra?

Probably not. All the vehicles are getting away from putting in fittings. Any time I replace a component I make sure the replacement has grease fittings.

SOURCE: penny dropped into the cigarette lighter of my 2008 saturn astra. I got the penny out, but the cigarette lighter doesn't work

hi,

there must have been a weak connection somewhere in the line.
use a volt meter to trace from the lighter to the fuse box.
I have also seen the wire connection go bad during a short in the back of the fuse box itself where the wire goes in.
follow the 12 volts and you will find your problem.

2008 Saturn Astra XR. Replacing the gasket kit.

You need to ascertain where the oil is coming from the Rocker Cover Gasket or the PCV valve?

https://www.google.com/search?q=2008+saturn+astra+xr+replace+rocker+cover+gasket

Replace the gasket and see if it continues. It is a pain to replace the PCV according to this. You may be able to clean it with carburetor cleaner when the rocker cover is off.

Where is the throttle body on a 2008 Saturn astra

Oil filter on 2008 Saturn Astra in inside of a canister that is located behind the radiator and a bit to the drivers side. A ONE-INCH socket is needed along with a ratchet, extension and universal joint to compensate for involved angle. Damage to the one-inch screw-on canister cap - I've seen a replacement available at eBay.
