Greetings to all Astra and car fans. I haven't written to the forum for a long time, but maybe this post will please someone. For the last 10 years I have been the satisfied owner of the Astra H Caravan, 1.7 CDTI. I take good care of that car and I've done a lot on it. Today, she has 324.000 km, but she is still doing well. However, in the last year or so I have somehow started to look around and peek at a possible successor.

My needs and requirements regarding the car have become quite refined over the years, so I was just looking for the right form. The only thing I knew at the beginning was that I wanted a manual, that I wanted gasoline, and that it would be white. I went through the whole spectrum of the used car market, and the possibilities were from the VW Transporter to the Audi A3 .

A week ago, I was looking at the Astra J Sports Tourer, and even my guy went to see it in Germany. But it wasn't good, so in about two days I say to myself - I don't need the station wagon for anything today and the 5-door version is much nicer to me... So I lay in the 5-door offers of the white Astras for two days and at the end this came up... I say to myself: 95% of the time I still drive alone in the car, I take the whole family of 5 people and two dogs with it twice a year to my grandparents, the trunk for the weekend purchase of supplies to our shop is large enough and moreover... I have always wanted this car anyway...  . A lot to the quick decision was that it was practically a demonstration car with a complete service history, in a condition that my head still does not understand. And when I got a big export discount on it in exchange for the 12-month warranty offered, it was a done deal. So "The White" is already standing in front of my house and is waiting for the registration documents to come from Germany ...

Hi there,

I've seen on a youtube channel a review for one Astra J OPC from Netherlands which had valve exhaust system installed , the man sad that everything is on 3" , deleted cat, deleted middle silencer, no brand exhaust or similar.

I wonder if someone here installed such a thing and how it was connected, as far as i know that valve needs to cut off one pipe and let another free, but VXR has only one pipe until the backbox

I've asked the guy on instagram he said he would send some pictures on how he did it but nothing yet. 

I have the same setup on 3" pipe with only backbox but it's a little too loud, and police doesn't like that, was looking to either fit a valve system or install a sport silencer after the downpipe.

Selling my GTC with ultra low mileage of 16.5K, registered 5th July 2013 and owned by me from new. Full Vauxhall dealer service history (including cam-belt change). Metallic Sovereign silver.

Hi All,

I am the owner of an Astra OPC J V16, 2013. The car has 50K miles. A week ago, Ive noticed a high pitched noise coming from the posterior. The noise is not loud but it's pretty noticable and never stops. It's killing my brain, especially now that I've noticed it, I can't just stop hearing it, even when I am not inside the car 
Noise ONLY stops when breaking, so I think it might be the pads. Somebody else suggested it might be the an electric issue with the petrol pump.

I've uploaed a video of the noise here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn8KtGCL1SI

My car is under warranty with dealer, I am going to schedule an appointment. and see what he says. In the meantime I would like to get your take on the issue. Eventually, I would like to know if it's a normal noise on this car (I took the car 3 weeks ago), I am not really sure the noise came up more recently, or it was there since the beginning. 

Thanks guys!

I recently had my fuel tank replaced due to a hole in the pipe s, since it’s been replaced I need to prime my fuel pump every time I start the car or it will just turn over for what seems like ages!

Is there any way of fixing this??

I’m looking for someone who has a wire diagram for cd400 and 950navi.

To find out what I have to wire in and where I can get all the wires and connectors to fit the navi950.

The navi950 came out a 64 plate and is going into a 62 plate.

My current system has Bluetooth for in car hands free. Also has dab but wondering if I need to change anything or upgrade it I don’t think I got all the bits when I have bought the 950 system. I have put pics up of what I have can some one send me in the right direction to get the rest and setup.

I am smart enough to fit this my self if I have all the right stuff I am not driving the length of the country to get this done.

Hello,
I have a code 22 on my screen, which is pretty annoying. The right side lamp is working fine (both of them, left too). 
I have already done:
- removed the bulb from the left side: (code 21 come out, which is expected)
- swap the two bulbs left and right side, both working, got error 22 back.
- bought new bulbs, still error 22

What I noticed, sometimes, I don't have error code 22, before I put the bulb with the holder into the lamp, and comes back a little later.
Also noticed the holder is a bit worn out. I tried to make sure the pins connected to the bulb well.

Has somebody come with an issue like this before?
Can somebody suggest a place (online) or in London where I can buy a replacement bulb holder? (the ones I found online looks different)

How much oil do I put in the gearbox after draining old stuff out?

Hi,

Is this kit the correct one for the J 1.7?
