  VXR Front Bumper onto a 5dr
Posted by: Bear - 2:nd-Oct-2020, 21:18:01 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (2)

As the 3 door and 5 door wings are both the same i was wondering if a VXR J front bumper would fit onto a 5door J .



If they do fit are they a direct swap or would there be some fabrication needed?

  Service vehicle soon(need better OBD2 Reader)
Posted by: Rocky33 - 30:th-Sep-2020, 18:38:31 - Forum: Servicing - Replies (13)

hello guys ,i know service vehicle soon does not mean it needs service but there is something wrong somewhere although my service is due in 2 months and oil life is around 10 percent ,First i thought it was due to oil but i reset oil but it still appears say once in say 2 days,i am worried something has failed or is failing ,car drives normal ,i have used obd 2 reader with torque pro app but it is showing no fault codes,i am using Vgate icar 2 OBD2 reader which is a decent one and has helped locating fault codes many times but this time it seems it needs a more advanced reader to solve the puzzle ,I was planning to service my car next month but due to this fault either i have to take to garage now or i buy a better reader to know if there is some serious fault which needs urgent attention.i will appreciate if someone can direct me to link where i can buy good obd2 reader .I have searched opcom but there are so many fakes around,not sure if they will work .
Thank you Guys.

  Tunbridge wells area. HELP
Posted by: Badenj - 29:th-Sep-2020, 18:17:33 - Forum: Servicing - Replies (1)

Hi there

Is there anyone in the Tunbridge wells area that can do a software update on a Vauxhall’s Astra j 2013 2.0cdti??

The Vaux garage around here are crap. 

I have the engine overheating issue which so I’m told is a software update and then replace the EGT sensors for good measure. 

If anyone can help I’d be very grateful and obviously pay for your time.

  Electric passenger window not working
Posted by: Harposaurus - 28:th-Sep-2020, 10:04:05 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (2)

Hello all

I have a 2010 Astra J. A short while ago I had to remove the door card in order to replace a broken door check strap link. Job done, window switch reconnected, everything back in place.
But the passenger window only worked for a couple of days. So, disconnect the battery for 20 minutes, reset all the windows and everything okay. Again the passenger window ceases operation a couple of days later. Repeat as before. Two or three days later passenger window not working again. Does anyone have a solution to this as obviously I can't keep disconnecting the battery every few days.

Many thanks

Hi, I have a Astra j 1.7 cities 2013. I have oil underneath the intercooler pipe where it meets the throttle body. Should the pipe move a little where the clip is ? Or should it be tight ?

  Which engine?
Posted by: royzee5787 - 24:th-Sep-2020, 11:20:53 - Forum: Request for information - Replies (1)

Hi
Hope someone can help. I just bought a 2015 Astra J sport tourer.
I am a little confused. Easily done, I know!
On the documentation it says it is the A17DTS opt. LUE engine.
BUT, if I use a decoder for the vin it tells me its a A17DTC
So, my questions are
Which is it and what does the opt.LUE mean? I can find any reference to that.
Many thanks in advance for any help
