Astra Roof Hose

Filling your Astra convertible roof with non genuine Holden Astra Convertible Roof Oil can cause the roof pump motor to wear out sooner.

In some cases the failure occurs 70% faster comparison to systems that have been filled with Genuine oil

A hose blowing in the hydraulic roof system generally occurs due to air getting into the system, in many cases a blown hose can be replaced and then in a couple of weeks another hose blows.

In these cases the hose that has the air leak has not been replace but to identify the hose with the leak at the time of replacing the first hose can be a black art.

There are ten hoses in the Astra convertible Bertone roof where are this point we have only ever replaced six hoes the wear out, get crimped of blow the swagged fitting.

Having said that we have replaced set of ten hoses only when the customer has asked to replace the complete set.

What are the options with regard to replacing the Hydraulic hose?

There are a number of hoses in the market place the first is the cheapest is priced around $30 Australian these hose are 2nd hand many have been working on convertible roofs from 8 - 10 years.

After a period these hoses become hard and in flexible and in turn blow from there swagged fittings

The second option is a Chinese product sold for around $80 Australian these hoses last for a period 3 - 6 months from all reports they seem to more flexible than the 2nd hand hoses yet the are not as old and are yet to last a period longer the 2 years

The third option is an Australian made hose price around $600 manufactured in Australian with high pressure hose and stainless steel fittings. This option seems to be the choice of the majority of the Astra Convertible Owners

The final option is to purchase genuine hose and it is best to get pricing from your local Holden Dealer

Butchered Astra Roof Latches

Today we inspected an Astra Convertible a set of latches that had been completely butchered

 by a so called engineering company in Queensland

The latches had been fitted with bearings that had been replaced by deep groove bearings

 and the silly part about replacing the bearings are split bearings and don't need to be replaced.

The team at ALNO Product Services have fully tested an Astra Convertible Roof that is now 12 years of age and developed a mechanical jig to continuously open and close the roof to test for the weakest point.

This development is to find the weakest point and enhance the life of the roof system the worked for 853.2 hours straight 24 hours a day 7 days a week until failure

The our team then improved roof mechanical structure and started testing again this time extend the life cycle of the roof.

  

This is the type of development our Engineers, Designers and Machinist stand by many in our team had heard the rumours of new bearings being fitted yet we could not believe the moment we saw them, the team spontaneously broke out into laughter.

Deep grooved bearings as the name suggests is that they run at a different speed or RPM (revolutions per minute) in comparison to split bearings, furthermore there is a great amount of force required to turn a deep groove bearing.

All Astra convertible Latches bearings are split bearings just look at yours now

What this does highlight is a number of facts

1. Not only is cheap Chinese aluminium blocks that can be manufactured and fitted in 2 hours yet the team at ALNO Product Services take 8 hours to square up a block and fully recondition a set of latches
2. Split Bearing don't need to be replaced.
3. By just replacing or only replacing the plastic blocks with aluminium will not increase the life cycle of a set of Astra Roof latches.  
4. The Person or Company in Queensland has no idea on what they are doing 

Speaking with the current owner of the car he has got details from the previous owner on who got the work done yet no receipts were issues as they did not want to pay GST

From what we have been told that the current owner has plans to seek damages or a replacement set of latches and as number of other components in the convertible roofs.

What is clear when you buy a set of latches you're not just buy latches you are buying the knowledge that your latches will last

Astra Hose Broken, replacing a broken hose can be quite simple yet it can turn into a complete head ache.

Over the past 4 year the team at ALNO Product Services have seen many cases of hose doctor or local hose replacement companies fitting such hoses.

In general these hoses work perfecting fine and these companies know there hoses yet, in many cases in fitting these hoses does not get the roof work as new.

Some roofs only move 2 or 3 centimeters and then stop moving or in the worst cases latches latches break and need replacing. In other cases the roof works perfectly fine for 2 or 3 weeks then these issues arise where you push the button and the roof does not move if the roof is in the open position or if the roof in closed position.

The team at ALNO Product services not only supply many of the hose companies with end fittings to suit the Astra Bertone convertibles. Furthermore over the summer months we receive at least one phone call per month from hose fitting companies requesting advice on how to fix these Roofs.

The team at ALNO Product Services are specialist in servicing Astra Convertible roofs our team export latches, Oil, hose along with advice on fitting across the world to UK, Europe and New Zealand.

Many of our products come with a 5 years warranty furthermore our customers are selling there Astra Convertibles with a 5 year warranty get a higher dollar value that just the market value of there car.
