hi guys,

So I'm a new member to this community here. Actually, I'm a new member to joining a forum about cars in general.

I've got an Astra GTC 1.4 (120) Ltd Edition,
I'm looking at possibly remapping her through Remapkings as suggested by a friend. The site has shown that it would go from 120 to 171, and torque from 200nm to 271 (priced at £234)

I was just wondering a few questions:
- If anyone has any experience remapping the 1.4 GTC, how did it go for you? Did you notice any problems?
- I read somewhere that the 1.4 GTC has an M32 gearbox and the upper limit for torque could be a problem. Now I'm not really savvy enough to know the techs of this so I was wondering if anyone could provide some input on that. Would 271nm be problematic?


- Lastly, bit of an odd question perhaps? Anyone who has the 20" rims from the Limited Edition - have you been able to compare this with smaller rims? Did you notice any difference, good/bad?

Sorry if any of those questions are quite newbie

Hope to speak to some folks soon!

Thanks (:

Hi. I need some bracket for rear PDC, for my astra j GTC with VX LINE bumper. Anybody know the part numbers for bracket? I cant find them.

I have a 63 plate astra 1.7 cdti a17DTC

This car came to me as a non runner,

was told it ran ok but kept going into limp mode due to SCV, previous keeper attempted to replace injector after leak off snapped and started leaking.
they unscrewed the top of the injector?

anyway since i have replace the injector, SCV and fuel pressure sensor on the end of the rail. still wont start

i have no throttle response. it will start momentarily then shut itself off after clock sweep.

reoccurring codes:
P1297 FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR NOT LEARNED - FAULTY FUNCTION - PERMANENT (CANNOT CLEAR)
P2452 DPF DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SENSOR - FAULTY FUNCTION PERMANENT

Codes read using DELPHI Diag. WRITE OPTION IS NOT AVAILABLE.

it doesnt run on spray either, before or after maf, so i am lost.

and direction would be great!

previously was getting over pressure reguralarly until parts replaced.

Hi, I've been looking at 3rd party armrests to fit to my Astra J 1.7 cdti on Ebay. Thinking about getting this one.

Has anyone bought an armrest for their Astra and can recommend one, or any to avoid ie the one in the link.

Thanks in advance

Ken.

Happy new year all

I’ve searched online but find contradicting answers. Does anyone know the official Vauxhall recommended intervals for the timing belt on a 64 plate BiTurbo and is it recommended to do the water pump at the same time on this engine?

Thanks

Hello,

I am going to change my glow plugs and therefore need a new charge air cooler inlet air pipe gasket, how do I get a hold of one of those? I don't know how to find the part number for such things. I have a Astra J 1.3 CDTI with engine code: A13DTE

See picture https://ibb.co/HPyxvt7



Kind regards

I have a 1.4 na with 40k on the clock, today on the way home it was  making this whirring type sound at a standstill , with a slight rev the sound will go, the sound seems to be coming from the drivers side of the engine bay, belt seems fine, steering is fine. Any ideas?

i am trying to fit the factory PDC system to my 2010 vauxhall astra elite j i have to control module and the button but i don't know what wires i need i have the wire with the sensors on but i don't have what that plugs in to. with the control module connected when i put the car in to reverse i get a beep and the light on the button flashes. and when pluged in to my scanner i and getting codes forthe front and raer sensors missing. i am wanting to do both front and rear but will start with the rear.

thanks for you time michael

Hello as this is my first post,

After some advice please if anyone has encountered this issue before. I have bought a 2010 Astra J 1.4 VVT ( A14XER engine if it helps ). It overheated and the previous owner wanted rid so I bought it to try and get my nephew away from his ipad and experience some spannering! I didn't pay much for it as worst case I thought then we could just put a new engine in if it's really knackered.

So the experience so far.... cranks over fast and compression test shows no compression at all in any cylinder. Not a good thing I know. I had anticipated warped head, blown head gasket etc with the overheating issue it had but i've never come across any engine with no compression unless the timing was out ( jumped belt etc ). So today had a look at the chain which looks quite good and tight so can't see how that would have jumped but then came across something new to me. The VVT solenoid on the exhaust cam was very loose. It is missing a bolt and as such was not secured properly. I have never worked on any VVT engine before so not sure how much this would effect anything?

Anyone had any experience with these engines and zero compression please? Ultimately the car was very cheap so unless there is something glaring that I am missing the engine will be stripped down soon as we have nothing to loose and only education to learn :

I should add....there are no bad noises on cranking. 

Thanks in advance

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if anyone has had a similar situation or know anything that could help with my 1.4 petrol 2013 Astra GTC.
recently I had the Service ESP message come up on the dash and took it to the local friend to be read.

The following codes came up:
U0125-00
C0196-71

He isn't sure what the problem may be and I don't want to take it to the garage and they scam me an extortionate amount to fix.

My high beam '3rd' brake light also stopped working around the same time.
