Hello!

Both of my daytime running lights (the 21W wire on the W21/5W bulbs) are completely dead, both in Auto on and Auto off mode.
The sidelights (the 5W wire) work perfectly on both sides. In the trip computer, the car warns in two stages: "Right sidelight out of order" and "Right daytime running light out of order" (it only warns for the right side even though both daytime running lights are completely out).
The original factory-fitted lights are still in the car. A mechanic has looked at them and confirmed that the bulbs are physically intact. I have also checked fuse 41 myself and switched place with the gray relays (6 and 8) in the engine compartment without result.

Can anyone knowledgeable guide me in the right direction in further troubleshooting?

  Two heated seat part numbers
Posted by: Jsmitty - 2:nd-May-2026, 23:18:43 - Forum: Electrical - Replies (1)

Hello,

I recently came into ownership of a 2104 Astra J hatch. It has the dreaded heated seat switching off, which the computer says is high resistance on the pad (B2425-0D). I want to try the repair myself using a guide from here (https://vxoc.org.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=1566). The post lists the part number as 13257326, but my dad looked at his system at motor parts direct and it lists 13451987. An untrained eye thinks they look the same, and one is more expensive than the other. Are there any differences or can I safely buy the cheaper one?

  Clean DPF - O2 sensor location
Posted by: Henhead78 - 24:th-Apr-2026, 13:31:43 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (1)

Is 02 sensor located under the car itself and not located within engine bay on my Vauxhall Astra SE CDTi 108 60 plate.

My car is jerking after a while and goes into limp mode (no engine lights) and have reduced revs.

Its been getting worse progressively car is fine on short trips but any more than say 20 minutes it starts especially when car is going uphill and under pressure.

Code shows dpf partially blocked.

Was gonna try use some cleaner directly into the dpf via the o2 sensor.

Car needs a new shock too and handbrake not holding great, dont want to spend loads on it if I cant fix the engine issue which I presume is a blocked dpf.

Is it easy to take the whole dpf off and soak it or am I best off just trying to clean in situ

  Dead Radio After New Battery
Posted by: Mr_Blogberry - 24:th-Jan-2026, 17:54:44 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (1)

Hello all, I'm after some help.

I have a 2012 GTC  that I bought a few months back and had a new head unit professionally fitted. The car doesn't get used much and the (very old) battery went flat. It was jump started a few times with a power pack and there was nothing wromg with the stereo.

Then I fitted a new battery. The stereo was working right up to the battery change. Now it is as dead as a dodo as is the top display and the indicators no longer make a noise.

I have seen that others have had this same problem, but I am yet to see that anyone has fixed it.

Up to this point, I have disconnected the battery for 60 minutes and reconnected it. Tested all fuses in all 3 fuse boxes and scratched my head a lot.

It must be some sort of fuse or problem between the fuse box and the head unit/display.

Does anyone have any advice or suggestions please?

  acceleration Hesitation
Posted by: middniight - 17:th-Jan-2026, 04:02:21 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC Common Problems - Replies (2)

Hi, I have a 2013 Astra J GTC VXR stage 1. For the past few weeks i have been having acceleration issues where if i'm in 4th, 5th, 6th and i put my foot to the floor the car doesn't gain speed. the rev counter just jumps up and down and sounds like i'm revving the engine as if it's on neutral. I've taken the car to Vauxhall and they couldn't find an issue. Any suggestions and solutions would be appreciated.

Hi All, 
Just joined the group after owning a few Vauxhalls over the years.
first car 1.3 sr nova, 1.6 cavilier, 2.0 130 SRI etc.
I have now got myself an Astra, which i really enjoy driving, 
I`ve been doing some research and i think it is the last one of its model to be produced before moving onto the new shape in 2017


its a 2014 Astra SRI VX-Line CDTI S/S
VAUXHALL ASTRA SRI VX-LINE CDTI S/S - How Many Left?

Only changes are to the radio so far where i have changed for a full length Touch Screen and a stage 1 remap.
