How do I know if my Vauxhall Astra engine needs to be replaced?

I noticed my Vauxhall Astra is making strange noises and runs rough occasionally. Is my engine failing or is it something else?

It is important to have your engine inspected by a certified mechanic. It could be a number of things causing the issue, but it's best to get it checked out sooner rather than later.

Before jumping to the conclusion of a failing engine, make sure to check your spark plugs and air filter. Both of these can cause similar symptoms and are much easier and cheaper to replace.

I had a similar issue with my Astra and it turned out to be a faulty ignition coil. Make sure to get a proper diagnosis from a mechanic before replacing any parts.
