VXOC Astra-J/GTC

there have been a few issues with water pumps
and other related engine issues
DPF regain problems etc
so if you have had or are having engine issues post here.

hi all question for you all has anyone had an issue with the revs hanging around 1200 -1500 rpm then slowly dropping to idle on 2.0 cdti sri

everything  else seems ok i only have a code reader which i shall be putting on tomorrow to see if anything pops up but at a wild guess im thinking throttle body gunked up causing it to stiffen up

i only had the car 3 months it has 60k on the clock says full service history but as i havent done this myself its just a piece of paper and i doubt very much the egr system has ever been cleaned

thanks for any help

Never seen that on mine.

My 2.0cdti is running strangely at the moment. Just wondering if anyone else's is more noisy? Maybe down to the cold.

Mine is a little noisy in the cold.

Anyone noticed a strange pump noise in tic over.
I have the 1.4 turbo and on tic over I can hear a noise coming from the air con pump which doesn't sound normal. I will try and post a video soon. The sound fades in and out with each turn of the belt.

Also while on the subject of noises I noticed the car sounds a bit like an electric car when driving over 50mph. Any ideas?

Hi there was wondering if anyone has had the strange noise on the astra j a20dth engines it's only on start up for 30 seconds to minute seems to be a common kind of issue on these engines, just to see if anyone has any idea before I start replacing belts pulleys and tensioners. It's a similar noise to the insignia that's in this link https://youtu.be/_DnGjvC6JlE

Hi, has anyone had a problem with intermittant coolant loss from the waterpump (1.6 petrol)
the previous owner told me he had to top up the coolant a number of times, he said it had leaked onto the belt and sprayed around the engine bay, he had his dealer look at it 3 times they could not find a fault!
I've not seen this, or had to top up coolant yet,
any ideas?

Hi,
At the manual write if a weather is cold power is reduced to due engine warm. May be you talk about that.
I have a parking heater and if weather are under 7 degree, if i don't power it (parking heater with remote control) he powered alone with start of engine for fast 
warming.
