Anyone got any ideas.  My 2L cdti has developed an issue that has the fog, reversing and rear right indicator lose power.  The Cambus keeps giving a bulb warning but the bulbs have all been checked and they are all good.  I've also checked the power tracks in the clusters from the cable socket pins to the bulb socket and they are OK too.  

This spreads across 3 of the 4 rear clusters and all the other lights not mentioned are OK.  Same time as this I believe, the dash power socket has also failed.  I've gone round all the fuses and they too are a ll good. 

I'm guessing this means it's a wiring issue,  potentially a plug somewhere that's maybe come loose?   I don't really have a clue other to start checking connectors etc I can find.   

Any ideas on a common denominator?

Tia,

Gruntings all! 

Firstly I apologise this is a bit long due to listing the details and stuff I've already tried.  

Out driving the car a lot for the first time in months on a jolly to lincs on Weds this week became aware of 2 problems on the day that I'm struggling to resolve.  Everything OK first thing.  250 miles down to Lincs OK.  

First problem is right rear indicator. When I signal right, I get 3 flashes and then an error saying check the bulb, along with the typical fast flash failed bulb symptom. If I cancel it and re signal I get 3 flashes, then the error repeats etc ad infinitum.

I've had the cluster off replaced the bulb, no difference, the error still occurs.  

During more in depth fault finding yesterday I discovered that both the fog and reversing lights are also u/s.  Both clusters removed and bulbs checked today with a tester, both are OK.  When I switch on the fog, the dash indication lights up. When i select reverse gear, with the ignition on but eng not running, theres nothing at the back from either light.  I've tried it engine running in the dark looking for the illumination in the mirrors, nothing from either. 

So.  One of the forums mentions a fuse think it was no 10 iirc in the glove box panel, linked to external lights, anyway checked that and its good.   Is there another fuse anyone is aware of that could be the cause?  I've downloaded diagrams and keys for the fuseboxes and the fuses that tally with the car.  

One other thing that's jiggled in my head reading up, is that the service vehicle soon indication pops up intermittently since the car was serviced late last year.   I put this down to the garage not resetting it, but I read that this is now used in lieu of a general fault if something else is going wrong.  I just cancel it off when it appears. 

2nd problem, when setting off to come home, the sat nav plugged into the front console power cig socket didn't turn on with the ignition.  The power to the front sockets gone off, but was working fine all the way down.  The fusebox key lists this as no 6, front power socket, and the fuse is good.  Is there another fuse ?    

Now I can't rule out all these failures happening at the same time, potentially thru 1 cause.  Certainly this power loss and the indicator issue were picked up quickly, the fog /  reversing God knows, could have been weeks as they're not a Cambus checked light  - and my other half isn't the most observant of women... Anyway in a desperation measure, I sequentially removed every, and I mean every fuse in the glove and engine boxes and visually checked em.  All are good.  None were blown.  

I am literally stumped.   With these assorted issues all of which i believe are fairly recent ie the last 2 months, I now can't help but wonder if I've got an electrical issue somewhere that's beginning to deteriorate.  

Car is a 15 plate 2L CDTI 5 d hatch.  Cars bog standard throughout, yeah boring I know, apart from LED replacement 501s in the courtesy and all 6 tail lights, which I had planned, and have gone in today with me taking the clusters off. They are OK and working.  

One other thing I did forget, the stop start has stopped working too. It was erratic but hasn't worked for a good 3 or 4 months.

Suggestions and solutions needed.  Thx in advance,

Phil the Frustrated!

Morning Folks,

Purchased a 12 - Astra J - 2.0CDTi (Elite) a few months back.  Not really had much time for questions, Xmas, COVID, etc etc.

Anyway 

1.  I have the Service Vehicle Soon message, which I believe is a Non Emissions error.  I don't mind taking it to the local Garage, but was wondering if people can suggest a relatively cheap ODBC Reader (Ideally phone connection) so I can read these sort of messages?  Couldn't afford Tech2, and as much as I would like to avoid buying a laptop for Opcom.

2.  My Brakes are needing to be replaced, after some spirited driving along country roads, they struggled to stop the car, Is there a preferred Brake Disc / Pad combination, that is better than OEM?  Don't need bigger Discs etc, Just something that can handle me on windy roads.

3.  Car seem to be fairly rusty underneath, recently replaced the Washer Pump and at the same time noticed a large circle mount looking thing, that had snapped off.  I was trying to find pictures from underneath the car to point it out, but struggled to find anything.  (This question doesn't need to be answered as its pretty vague)  Position of this thing was Front Passenger, to the right hand side of the Washer pump Underneath, looks like it would have been connected to either the front bumper, radiator sort of area.

4.  The service History for the J does anyone happen to know if VX keep a record of these online, Needing a replacement Service Book and was kinda hoping they would (I'll find out later today anyway when I phone them, but just on the off chance someone knew).

5.  Audio related question.  I have the CD400, so phone can connect for Voice only, I noticed some Astras have a nice screen / Satnav, do All radios only have Voice for BT or can Music be played too.  Don't mind buying aftermarket, I did see a nice Tesla looking one, but ideally I would like it to be relatively standard looking.

6.  When I purchased the car there was mention of an options (Lighting Pack), could not for the life of me remember the name, but the pack above had black Front lights etc, can anyone tell me the name of the Lighting Packs that would have been options when purchasing new?

Hi, I have a 2011 sri 1.7 cdti 110 astra with 16" wheels, when I bought the car I did not get a spare wheel. We will be taking the kids to Cornwall in June and would want a spare wheel as its a long way, could anyone tell me if 2160141 ident ftw is the correct spare wheel for my car before I purchase it. Many thanks

Thank you.

Hi

thanks

Hi everyone !

I'm Valentin, 34yo, product designer in the south of France and owner of a red GTC (2012) and a red Calibra (1991 redtop), yeah I love red

I'm here because I bought a complete set to upgrade my Navi900 to the Infinity sound system. As I searched for informations about that, I found out some good ones on this forum. But some are still missing for me. And one big pain point is the fact that the Infinity wire harness is integrated to the complete interior wire harness. The goal is now to isolate the wires I need from those I don't need and pray for the return "amplified" wires to go on a plug behind the unit and not directly to the speakers...

Anyway, I'll try to post that work here to help people in the same case.

Have a nice day !

Hi I now have a cascada 2.0 elite and will be wanting to add
1/ power fold mirrors
2/front parking sensors
can any cascada owners who have done these mods tell me if the wiring is in place to do these mods successfully and what front parking sensors you find work best.

thanks in advance

Hi guys,
does anyone know if there are updates for the Navi 600/900 maps for the year 2022/2023?
I'm afraid it's an obsolete product now....
Any opinion?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys
My Vauxhall Astra J 1.7cdti, Hatchback, 5 Door, 2011 61Reg.

My Diesel Fuel Gauge is was showing few days a Low in fuel and then after a bit showing half tank and then again low fuel.

However on the same day in the evening i just filled in £20 worth of fuel just to be on the safe side, but since then i have driven 1.5 miles, but not noticed the error of the low fuel.

What could it be is it the Pump, Float Valve or the Sender Unit ?

Do you have to take the seat out to access the pump or sender unit or the fuel tank underneath the car.

Thanks.

I had posted this on the wrong section , so i posting it again here.
