I’ve been looking at other cars over the past few weeks to weigh up my options as I’ve only got a 1.4 an (don’t get me wrong it never let my down in anyway) as I use it as a daily and for the family to get more out of it but now I’m moving house I can’t afford to finance another car so I spoke to my brother who is a mechanic who told me his best friend will remap it at a really good price and I will gain about 11bhp and and 25nm Torque witch on a car that don’t have much to start will make a good improvement and then I will help it along with Pedal box

  GTC water collects under rear window
Posted by: Canasta - 29:th-Sep-2018, 16:38:02 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (2)

Hi Folks

I have a 2015 GTC 2.0 diesel auto. I noticed that water collects in the gap between the bottom of the rear window and the boot.
So when I open the boot after rain, quite a lot of water flows back out of here. Its not leaking into the car or anything like that, but im thinking it's eventually going to rust in there if water is pooling in there.

Also tried parking on a level surface to see if it made any difference, but water still pools in the gap.


Anyone else noticed this, or done anything about it?

  Greetings from London!
Posted by: DanielG - 28:th-Sep-2018, 13:43:28 - Forum: Introduction Area - Replies (6)

Hello everyone


My name is Daniel Looney ,and I'm happy to join this forum,as of 17th this month I own a 12 plate Vauxhall Astra SE Sports Tourer 1.3 s/s with 58k miles on the clock.
I will post some picture when I actually manage to take some.

I've been reading this forum ever since,and really found out some great topics here.I found out this forum after endless google-ing satnav options as mine has the CD400 ( yeah I thought Special edition will feature Bluetooth )

Nevertheless, I do enjoy the car,and still find it funny when people look at me at the traffic lights thinking my engine stalled.

Regards

Daniel

  Power loss and stop start not working
Posted by: everson38 - 26:th-Sep-2018, 19:21:36 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC Technical - Replies (4)

Hey guys

I have a 62 plate astra J 2.0 CDTI.

I have noticed a few things and wondering of could shed some light on things to check.

1) my rev needle is sitting at 500 revs (not sure if that is low and then at times it fluctuates.

2) when driving and trying to set off it just doesn't seem to have the same power. It's intermittent but at times the power just don't feel there

3) The automatic stop start doesn't work anymore, or shall I say majority.of the time it doesn't work and then here and there it comes back

4) My radiator fan seems to come on a lot. Once car is up to temp and I rev the car once it will kick in and then stop. I rev it.again once and off it goes again not sure if that is normal.

Car doesn't have any warming lights but just wondering of anythings to check and any info on what could happen if left unattended as my car still drives but she just seems a little off? Worry or not to worry?

Thank you

Hi guys and girls

I’ve started you use the motorway quite a bit lately and I’ve noticed if I want to go 70mph the speed on the clocks must be 76 mph is this common or do I need a software update or something

Thanks

  Astra GTC service vehicle soon
Posted by: Beechy - 23:rd-Sep-2018, 16:35:52 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (9)

Hi, 
I've recently purchased a 2013 1.6 astra GTC.
It's done 25000 miles with full service history. The SERVICE VEHICLE SOON message as popped up a few times but disappears after a 30 seconds. I took it back to the dealer. They reset the service light telling me it was just a glitche the gtc is known for. There's been np error codes stored either. I just wondered if any other owners have had same or simular issues with the service light??

Posted by: tintinontour - 23:rd-Sep-2018, 14:52:28 - Forum: Vauxhall General - Replies (1)

Hello, new member, so apols if this has been asked before. How do you remove the handle shown in the pictu, labelled 2? Is it just brute force with a pry bar or is there a more scientific way?
