The Astra engine has been making a dragging sound, which stopped when switching off the aircon.
Took the electromagnetic clutch plate off the aircon compressor and had a look in there. All looked ok, except it seems we didn't use it enough and it rusted 😆
Gave it a cleanup, some rust converter on the cosmetic outside and sanded off the rust inside, then blew out any dirt and degreased the clutch plates.
Can't hear the noise anymore! 👍

Same shit, different car.
The EPB appears innocent. This one seems to be just stuck pads from sheer accumulation of dirt (the roads out here range from terrible to nonexistant, although we do try to stay off the gravel roads if possible). German cars are not made for this.
I had pressure washed this sometime before the first frost, which was less than 2 months ago or so? So all that crud is since then, plus now with road salt added 😬
Took it all apart, cleaned and just on putting the second side back together. Hopefully that'll sort it. Would be nice to have at least one working car 😩
