  Continuuous fan operation
Posted by: philg25 - 1:st-Sep-2018, 11:50:17 - Forum: Electrical - Replies (1)

Astra 1.6 J 2013 78000 miles

Warning light came on yesterday regarding engine overheating and guage hit maximum. Called AA and they diagnosed a faulty coolant temperature sensor. Got above part and fitted which sorted the high temperature light but now the fan runs continuously on high. Had this before when my thermostat failed which I replaced about 10000 mile ago. Has another sensor failed and if so which one? Thanks for any help.

Cheers Phil

  Astra J 1.7 CDTI Tech-Line rear light cluster issue
Posted by: AstraCDTI - 28:th-Aug-2018, 22:27:02 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC Technical - Replies (1)

Hi all,

I hope someone can assist. Is there anyway to completely open up the rear clusters. 

I have an odd issue where my brake light clear section has snapped in both the rear clusters and rattles around within the larger cluster. I have removed both but after removing the group bulbs out the  rear I cannot find how to disassemble the rest. It looks like anti tamper screws have been used.

Not so much an issue but it keeps on knocking on the brake bulbs and causes intermittent errors when starting the car suggesting rear brakes are at fault. I then have to remove the cluster and secure the bulb back in for a period of time until it happens again. 

Any suggestions on this or is it new cluster time on both sides?

Regards

  Cd400 with BT kit.
Posted by: Rusty2009 - 28:th-Aug-2018, 18:58:27 - Forum: VXOC Electrabizz (Rusty2009) - Replies (11)

Fed up of no Bluetooth in your Astra have the phone buttons but only muting the audio?

Here for sale is a kit to add factory fitted BT.

Main radio box (programmed to DAB USB & BT)

Also comes with a BT module and a BT harness.

No USB or DAB module are included.

Price is £250 posted, or £270 if you wanted to come to me in Bournemouth for fitting.

Return of your old cd400 box is greatly appreciated as it helps me keep costs down for other customers too, if you wanted to return your old cd400 radio box I'll refund £25 once box has arrived (depending your radio Vauxhall started fitting cd400 which can't have anything added to them so unfortunately these radios are no good to me).
