Hi, I've just bought my first diesel and it happens to be a GTC SRI 2 ltr CDTi. I love it. My only question so far is that when I initially start the engine from cold, it's not a smooth idle and you can feel it through the car with a slight rocking. Is this normal? A common problem? After a few minutes, it idles fine and there seems to be no other issues. I searched for the answer before posting so apologies if the answer is buried here somewhere.

Thanks.

Hi all my daughter has a 2010 astra j 1.6 auto the problem is it wont change out of first gear , it will go into park but when you put it in drive it stays in 1st and does not change up, in reverse its ok, the engine warning light has come on and when we had the aa out 2 codes came up saying input speed sensor malfunction -p0716 the other code said input speed sensor no signal p0717, has anyone had the same problem or no of it happining to anyone, your hepl would be appreciated.

Hey guys.

I had by car jacked up in the air with both calipers showing the pistons. When I pressed brakes only the passengers side piston would come out. When I original took calipers off the both retracted fine it's just that it won't come out??

The passenger side brake disc looks worse then the drivers as it is all rusty and not shiney but drivers side looks shiny. as hence why I thought something was wrong.

Anyone have any ideas to issues?

Thanks any help welcome.

Anybody with aftermarket radios be interested in USB cables so they can connect factory USB socket to radio USB plug?

Price would be £15 a cable 2 for £25.

Pic is for a usb Navi retrofit I’m doing.

Hi,

I recently purchased a 12 plate GTC but have found that the headlights are terrible.

Before I found this site I had a look on a few sites, put in my number plate and used the info they said to buy new bulbs.

Well they all said to get H7 bulbs.  I've gone to fit them and they are the wrong type!  The bulbs currently fitted in mine are HIR2 LL (9012)

I've been having a look around but am having trouble finding what would be a decent replacement bulb for it to give me better vision at night.

I'm just looking for something that would be straight swap if possible.

Cheers

Hi there has anyone ever had a problem with the ignition key not releasing on a gtc automatic

Hello everyone, so coming from the VW side of things my previous cars had a sticker with the Chassis Number, paint code, and three of four letter codes which listed the options the car had. This was separate from the VIN in the window and was located in the boot or on a rear wheel arch.

I am asking because (Long shot no1 coming) my Sports Tourer appears to have the glass in the rear compartment with the internal antenna for what I hope is DAB, but nothing connected.

So I was in the boot installing the space saver and inside the foam holder for the puncture repair pump was a few bits of broken glass. (Long shot no2) Could it be I might have all the gubbins behind the boot side trim and it was never reconnect?

Should I get a signal error if the DAB was not connected if I have it?


Thanks in advance.

Will try and find a VW sticker and attach later.

Just a query, but is it possible to retrofit an SCR system into a diesel car?

Hi everyone in this amazing forum, i would like to open this thread about how to change from my actual speedometer to a more recent one with bigger display and better inside light.
A step by step with pictures would help me and everyone who's interested in this!
My car is a Astra 1.4 petrol and i already have the better speedometer for the same model as mine!
So anyone that could help adding information to solve and enlighten us all would be amazing!!
