Welcome back to the VXOC FORUM.
Sorry for our lack of support over the last year but MYBB is back and so are we.
Let's get the forum buzzing again... (March 25, 2022)x
Hello everyone,
I have an Opel Astra J 2.0 cdti automatic and since I bought it (2 years ago) I’m having an issue with the instrument cluster.
Actually it doesn’t show all the menus and never shows me messages when there’s a problem with the car, I tried to reprogram with op-com but I can’t access to it (I don’t know why) and I took it to Opel France and they told me you need to change the instrument cluster without any explanation.
So I decide to change it and I bought a used instrument cluster with almost the same number of kilometres and the same part number (13336484) and it works great and I reprogrammed it using I’m-com and now it shows all the menus I wanted to see.
But the issue is that it doesn’t show the mileage, it shows this ( - - - - - - ) instead of the mileage.
Om-com is showing me there’s a problem with the immobilizer identifier.
I searched so much to find a solution but I couldn’t find anything.
The pic with the yellow screws is the used instrument cluster I bought and the other one is the original.
So could you please help me ?
just bought a 2L GTC, and its fab, 42k miles, 7 years old, was a Cat D, but has full Mots (all passed but had a few advisories here and there) going back 6 years and well.... I got it for a pretty cheap price so despite the issues I'm a happy bunny
So the good - Drives wonderfully, and the Dab/stereo is fantastic and looks pretty lovely too (white).
But, the issues
No parking sensors - have a "service parking sensor" warning
No Cruise control
and no air con.
Now the aircon Im hoping is nothing more than a refill job, but the other things I really don't know.
What made it Cat D I'm not to sure about, but there is some fixed bodywork on the front left side. My current theory is was in a crash and in repairing it (possibly to save money) the parking sensors and cruise control were ignored/removed/damaged. After all they are not needed for a mot.
Its late in the day, so all I've been able to do is check the fuses for the parking sensor - the fuse was fine.
And we have a diagnostic reader but that showing no errors - but every chance Ive not set that up correctly (ill try again later)
Anyway, nice to be here, and if you have any thoughts or 1st plan of attack on any of these Id love to hear it!
just seeing what mileage other diesel owners have covered. my 64 plate 2.0 cdti is on 74,000 only issue was a broken clutch spring at 50,000. due a cambelt and water pump anytime soon.
Just picked up a used 2014 astra design as I am quickly outgrowing my 09 fiesta and was just wondering how easy it would be to add automatic headlights and bluetooth to the astra, as these are things I am accustom to having on the fiesta. I have the Navi 650 and when I attempt to use the bluetooth, it just says 'Not available'.
I've already found the how2 for changing the front and rear pads, but no mention (that I can find) of also changing the rear discs on a 2.0 CDti with 292mm discs.
Anyone know the socket sizes I need, and what the torque settings are?
I have a rewind tool, and it was previously mentioned to me that both pistons need rotating back in clockwise. Is that correct?
Also, I have a traditional handbrake that is operated via a lever. Anything I need to know about before attempting to change the discs and pads? i.e. does it need adjusting afterwards?
I did see mention somewhere to just keep lifting up and releasing the handbrake lever until the brakes adjust themselves. Is this correct?
Hi guys had the p2453 code come up (dpf pressure sensor)... Had it replaced by vauxhall last week... At the weekend was driving and svs message came up .. Plugged opcom in and its the same p2453 error code?
Surely sensors last more than 4 days?
within the next few weeks im going to be purchasing a new Headunit for my 2013 Astra J. The main reason for purchasing a new stereo is due to the fact mine doesn't have Bluetooth. I'm currently looking at the unit below to purchase, but would be open to any suggestions with links on other options.
