Anyone know where the reverse switch is on the gearbox on a 1.6 sri 2011?

Heard it visible through the wheel arch, but which side and where?

Any pics would be helpful too

Thanks

  A couple of useful Apps for the J
Posted by: jw021979 - 22:nd-Sep-2019, 09:34:53 - Forum: Vauxhall General - Replies (2)

I have found a couple of useful apps for Android that work wel for the Astra J (I am not the developer and don't know the developer).
OPL DTC Reader works well with an ELM Bluetooth OBDII reader and can read Vauxhall/ Opel specific errors. My normal OBDII reader would not read my Glowplug error on my 2.0 CDTi but this app can and was able to reset the fault code.

The same developer also made OPL DPF Monitor lite that can see how full the particulate filter is and will show if it is doinf a regen and how far along the regen it is. It looks like it supports all 2.0 CDTI, most 1.7 and 1.3 but not 1.6.

Both apps are available on Google Play Store for Android. I don't know if there are iPhone versions available.
Hope these are helpful.

  Car key gets stuck
Posted by: kebagwan - 21:st-Sep-2019, 20:42:46 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC Common Problems - Replies (3)

It happened to me lately that I am unable to remove my car key after I have stopped the engine. This is very recent. The only trick I found was to re-engage the key (switch on without starting), move back from P to D, then back to P again, and finally turn the key anticlockwise and it would then come out!

Any idea how to solve this permanently? Thank you in advance.

Photo Bleeding coolant liquid pipe
Posted by: kebagwan - 21:st-Sep-2019, 14:59:12 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC Common Problems - Replies (3)

        I have just noticed a bleeding in the collant liquid pipe (not the hose but the plastic pipe) at the T-joint and tried to fix it with some glue. Things got worst, now the plastic pipe broke...see my pics attached. 

Any assistance to have a minimum of replacement or even second hand spares for this part. It seems I must be looking at the plastic part fixing on the engine block and receiving all of the hoses.

Thanks for any assistance.
