Hi

I have bought nextbase hardwire kit and manage to to slip the wire behind both wires and air bag in the A frame of passenger side. (Not strong enough to pull the A Pillar trim fully with that metal clip in place).

I have threaded the wire down the inner door by removing the rubber sill and was going to the side where the fuse box in the glove compartment.

My question ... should I attach the earth (black wire) to a metal bar behind the glove box on one of the nut bolt (not sure if it safe to do so) or attach it to the nut near the door after removing the trim near the bottom.

I need to free up my 12v Accessory Port in the central console so that I can charge my phone.

Any Advice would be appreciated

Thanks

Help bonnet won't open . The leaver goes all the way with no resistance. Bonnet does not pop up .

I would love some help 

I have an Opel Astra J 2011 hatchback 1.6 (85kw/115hp), 160,000 km (99,419 mile)

9 months ago my steering wheel was replaced because the horn did not work , after a month or two the ESC (esp) light in my vehicle came on and recently the steering wheel light also came on.
a months and a half ago I put the vehicle in an Opel authorized garage, after a brief inspection
I was told it was a malfunction in the steering wheel sensor, I asked them to replace cost of 1,600 NIS (355.66 Pounds).
After waiting two days for the part to arrive at the garage, I put the vehicle in the garage in the next day early in the morning
After about two hours I was called and told that the part had been replaced and what I had was not working properly,
I was told that there is also an electrical fault in the ABS pump and if I want them to check it, I agreed to be examined,
Once again I waited two days for the part to arrive at the garage, this time the vehicle sat in the garage disassembled for two days.
they Called me in the morning and informed me that there is a fault with the ABS pump, it requires overhaul since the pump
That they brought It's not the same product number from what I have and They will combine 2 products into one,
The costing is 2,500 NIS (555.73 Pounds), I called to consult a friend, he reminded me that at the time he connect the vehicle
To his computer and check for error with the GMS2 and op-com software and told me there was no issue with the ABS pump,
The faults are:
U0126-00 Lost Communication with steering wheel angle sensor module
B2955-00 Security sensor data circuit
C0710-71 Steering Position Signal
B1405-05 Control module voltage reference output 2 circuit - High voltage / open
U152D-00 LIN Bus 2 lost communication with device 13
U1538-00 LIN Bus 3 lost communication with device 8

Anyway I spoke to them again and updated that I had consulted with a friend who checked the vehicle at the time and said there was no issue with the ABS,
They insisted that this was the problem, etc., I asked them to reassemble the vehicle and I will came to get the vehicle from the garage.
After two hours I arrived at the garage I was sure the vehicle was assembled and to my surprise the vehicle was not ready,
They let me talk to the electrician of the vehicle and he tried to explain to me that there was a connection between the two (abs & steering wheel sensor),
After I explained to him that a friend who checked the vehicle with the computer he started explaining me the
Description of the fault that connection 3 goes directly to the ABS pump and from there to the steering wheel sensor,
At this point I asked them to assemble the vehicle and in any case I will take the vehicle from the garage,
At some point I wanted to pay for the abs examined because I was told the examined cost money.
The manager came out of his office and told the clerk that I will not paying and if I wanted them to return my parts and get a refund for what was i already paid for the steering wheel sensor 1,600 NIS (355.66 Pounds), I said since they already replaced the sensor I prefer to leave it how it is, after I get into the car and start the car I get the ABS light on in addition to the lights the previous was and are still on. Once again I went to the garage and told them that there was a new light (abs) that was not there and why it is on, the electrician claimed because there is a problem with the ABS pump, I told him it was not turned on before and it only happened here because your messed with it and he insisted I had a problem with the ABS.
He claimed it would disappear while driving, I asked if he did a clear the errors, he claimed yes and explained that the lights will Keep turning on until I fix the problem with the pump.

After a week I asked my friend to connect to his computer,
the errors from the previous time did not go away
But a new fault has been added.
C0050-06 Right rear wheel speed sensor circuit - Low voltage / open
They did not mention this in the garage.
A friend told me that it is not a big cost to replace the sensor, there is a situation that can be solved if i cleaning the sensor, or replace it with another sensor from different wheel to see if the problem resolve

After a week I cleaned the sensor connections, the problem was not resolved even after deleting the errors.

a week After I replaced the sensor with the left rear wheel,
The problem was not resolved even after cleaning the errors.

I have a multimedia system that I installed after the problem started (from the first error light appeared -esp)
In any case, I put back the original system for an entire week to see if the fault was not from the multimedia system. (is not)

i came a cross on several forums regarding some of the problems, some said to check the YAW sensor.
to check voltages in the sensor.
i saw that the steering wheel angle sensor is connected through multi-axis acceleration sensor to electronic brake control module

I must say that the vehicle drives excellently except for these problems, which reduces engine performance, and eliminates the automatic return of the steering wheel And of course the abs system works properly
I have tried several times in emergency braking and the system is working properly without locking the wheels (on a closed track)

So please if anyone can guide me from where I am starting to check the faults, such as voltage tests and so on.
I will be happy to help, guidance, a second opinion

Hi there,

This will be my first project with my Astra GTC, I am planning on adding a tesla style screen to my GTC in place of the Navi 650, could anyone give me any pointers on this, is the screen simply plug and play or will I need to modify the wiring loom to fit the new screen.

All the best,
Josh

Good Afternoon,

I was wondering if anyone has added the tesla like touch screen to an Astra J that originally had a navi 650 in, is it as simple as plug and play, or will the loom require modification?

All the best,
Josh

The nightmare recaro seats the VXR unlike many the handles havent snapped, but my passenger seat has reclined right back and wont go forward using the lower lever? anyone ever experienced this issue? as its booked in with Vauxhall next week.

Hi everyone, maybe there's someone here who can help me. I've been looking for a 3D rendering for the astra j hatchback becouse i want to print it. Does anyone have an STL project and is willing to share it?

Hi All

The tailgate latch on my Astra J 1.7 CDTI estate has packed up and doesn't respond to me unlocking the car either with the remote key or using the switch on the facia panel.

Thanks to a post on this forum, I was able to unlock the tailgate from inside the car which got me out of trouble.

I checked the fuse (assuming I checked the correct one) and it seems fine.  In any case I can see 12v on a couple of the pins in the connector that plugs into the lock mechanism.

I took a punt and bought a secondhand lock mechanism on eBay (looks good condition), but after connecting it up, the lock is still not operating :-/

I'm now wondering whether the body control module might have gone faulty, but I'm not sure how I can check this out.  All other aspects of the central locking work OK, so I was guessing it wasn't at fault, but perhaps it is.

If anyone knows what voltages I should be seeing across the three pins of the connector plug with the lock activated and deactivated, it might be a good next step to check these.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers

Graham

Don’t know what I’ve done think it was opcom but ipc is not displaying mileage shows as locked if I read eeprom can someone here fix the dump thanks

Hi mates

Looking to buy the center console trim with OE code number 13311386 for Astra J. 

It's the trim which holds the big navi display , black color, and has also holes for the VXR/Sport buttons or Sport/Tour buttons.

I am in EU if it does matter (given the high delivery times these days)

Thanks
