Hi,
Sorry for my English, I'm from Portugal.
I have an Astra J 2011 1.6 turbo, I would like to remove the shock absorbers and the system (Flex ride) without giving errors.
They can help.

Sérgio

Hello all

I was attempting to change the key fob for my Astra J as the flip bit had become stuck and it looked simple enough. Unfortunately had a nightmare trying to open the original key and have ended up damaging the chip inside  I rang Vauxhall and they said it'd be look at around £200 (not going to do that).

Has anyone got any alternative solutions? Could I potentially use another Astra J keys chip and program it to my car?

Appreciate any help.

Thank you,
Param.

We have a 2011/11 Astra J CDTI 160.

Always felt the gears are a bit stiff, is there a way of checking the oil level, or does something else somewhere else need some lubrication?

Comparing to my other cars, both Insignia's with the same engine, the Astra really requires more force on the gearstick to engage, not harsh, but noticably more pressure.

Clutch is fine, we have had to four years and its been the same since day 1.

Thanks.

Does anyone know what the part number is for the Oil Cooler on an Astra J 1.4T (2013) as mine has a bad leak

my tpms readings are no longer reading anywhere near accurate anymore, for some reason o/s/r and n/s/f are now reading under by about 6 psi, also this week on 2 mornings (cold) the dash warning light was on. i have set fronts at 37 psi and rears to 31 psi and checked them with a seperate digital gauge so no readings are correct, but dash says different, i have re-learnt the readings on display. has anyone else had this issue?

Hi Guys, 1st post so please be gentle

Have a 2010 Astra J with a CD500 installed with NAV & DAB - Have just purchased a NAVI 950 to replace this and looking for someone that can recode the 950 to my car.

I'm based in Basingstoke and would prefer to drive somewhere rather than post the unit if I can, just less hassle tbh.

Does anyone know of someone offering this service in this vicinity?

Cheers,

Paul.

Hi all - I have a 2009 Astra 1.6 SE.  In the mornings, when the car has been unused overnight, when I switch the radio on it comes on and then goes through between 4 and 6 restarts.  The screen goes blank and the sound ceases each time, it comes on for about 5-10 seconds, goes off, and on again, etc.  Once it has gone through this cycle it stays on and is OK for the rest of the day.

I've looked on the web but can't find anything specific to this problem.  Any guidance before I start dismantling the centre console - I'm thinking a wiring harness problem (loose connection), maybe the car battery voltage is low first thing in the day (although I did check the voltage and was over 12.4 volts), a failure of the head unit such a main board breaking down?

Has anyone had similar problems or is there a known problem with these units.

My unit has bluetooth for the phone.

Hello,

I had my car at service and they told me I had to change my turbo. Is this a common problem? 

The fault codes was P0299 and P003A. 

Is there any knows issues with the turbo on this car? It has only gone 75000 km / 46000 miles
