Hi

Just had the m072 fitted. Very happy with it. But I have a problem. My I pods won't sync with unit. All they do is charge only. The Ipods I use are all classics in various gb and versions. All I get on the screen is a picture of Adele's 21 album cover!!!

Please help!

Thanks

Hi all

Merry Xmas to all vxoc members.

My j continually shows either -39/40c but never the correct temp. Is there a way to reset the gauge.

Thanks

Today's job was to swap over my 2015 factory 'half leather' VXR seats with some 2016 'full leather' VXR seats

I started with the easy part - the rear seat. I removed the bottom section by pulling the rear clips free and then pulling the two front clips out. I then removed one of the side trims covering the outer pivot pin and using a screwdriver lifted the seat pin out of the chassis bracket. Then the larger section simply slides out of the centre bracket, so you can then remove the smaller section without removing the pivot trim. A 18mm socket soon had the seat belt undone.
To refit is a reverse of removal, except you need to remove the white retaining clips from the floorpan, take out the inner black clip from the outer white section, then fit the black clip to the new seat pin and finally slip the white outer piece over the black clip. Then the lower seat section simply clips back into place.

The full leather rears fitted



Next job was the front seats, simply remove the two Torq 50 screws and slide the seat backwards out of the floor pan retaining slots. Disconnect the battery for ten minutes before attempting to disconnect the seat wiring plug. If your astra has an alram then loosen the negative battery clamp, switch the ignition on and then off, within 15 seconds remove the loosened negative battery terminal.

One of each  



I took a photo of the seat wiring loom plugs, just in case anyone wanted one.



And finished, remember to reconnect the battery and follow the dash commands once the ignition is switched on - open and close the windows.



Everything works okay, except I think there is a fuse missing for the heated seat pads because the switches light up and I can hear a relay click when switched on or off. However they do not heat up.



I never bothered to swap over the 2016 door and quarter panels as they are identical to the 2015 items fitted at the factory.

I have owned my astra J vxr for about 18 months and my VX220 for ten years 

So it's about time I made a few changes to the vxr and I found this site whilst searching for info regarding swapping to full leather vxr seats.

I already have the seats and switch panel, fuse 21 was already in the boot fuse box so hopefully will get them swapped over this weekend

Hi
Does anyone know how to remove the plastic bonnet strip. Mine has been damaged somehow and I want to replace it.

Many thanks.

Im suspecting its the front Drop Links/Stabiliser Rod...

Would anyone agree/disagree?

Also, seeing as ECP have up to 69% off, im thinking about ordering a couple.

There are 4 brands available, are they all about the same or is there any that I should avoid?

Q-Drive;
Lemforder;
OCAP
TRW.

Many thanks,
G.

Hello everyone

New joiner here on the site. Articles are really good and very helpful.

Picked up a GTC 1.6T two weeks ago, looking forward to long and happy journeys. Maybe a few tweaks coming up soon.


Cheers for now
