  AT MY EITS END WITH THIS ONE!
Posted by: Brendonm9477 - 2:nd-Jan-2021, 16:08:44 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (2)

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.

  3rd party armrest
Posted by: Multiskilled - 1:st-Jan-2021, 21:39:08 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (4)

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.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dual-Layer-Ca...3852044930

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.

  BiTurbo timing belt
Posted by: Craig2305 - 1:st-Jan-2021, 11:43:50 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (3)

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

  Zero compression advice please
Posted by: Mikenwuk - 29:th-Dec-2020, 18:48:41 - Forum: Mechanical - Replies (1)

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 :Smile

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

Thanks in advance

Sad 'Service ESP' HELP
Posted by: AstraRT - 29:th-Dec-2020, 16:52:12 - Forum: Mechanical - Replies (2)

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.

  Rattle on cold startup last about 10 seconds help
Posted by: Paulmcn21 - 27:th-Dec-2020, 20:12:59 - Forum: Mechanical - Replies (4)

Hi guys I have a Astra 2.0 cdti 14 plate and recently it has started making a lot of noise when completely cold on startup but only then. After it’s been started it doesn’t do it at all. I’ve had cam belt don’t and water pump done when I bought the car 6months. Not sure if it’s chain or belt on these and if the tensioner could be at fault or possibly dual mass maybe ?? Any ideas thanks 
Paul

  Single Exit Exhaust swap to Twin Exhaust
Posted by: M222RJF - 24:th-Dec-2020, 13:48:49 - Forum: Request for information - No Replies

Hello guys,

If you follow me on instagram @thewhiteastra you will see I put on the full VXR Aero bodykit on my GTC.

The GTC had a single exit exhaust on the passenger side.

The VXR exhaust has 2 built in exhaust tips passenger and drivers side.

I had to cut the tip off my single exhaust to get the bumper on as the VXR sits lower inc diffuser.



So basically the single exhaust pipe doesn't line up to the passenger side VXR exhaust tip (sits more towards the middle of the car) as the tips are far right and far left.



My question is, does anyone know of a place who sells backbox deletes for a 2.0 cdti which goto a twin exit to fit the VXR bumper before I just get a custom one made.

Picture attached is not my car but same back bumper etc

Thanks
