Hi guys 

I got a astra j 1.3cdti estate 61 plate. A couple of weeks ago the front part of the exhaust fell off where the flexi is. It went into limp mode which I was told was normal by my mate in the garage. So I put a new front pipe on all went okay and no leaks. But when I took it for a drive it was still not 100% it was a lot better but seems to have no power. So my other mate plugged it into his machine to see what's happening it came up with pdf filter needs cleaning So he cleared it off and I went for a long drive over 2500 revs and I put some pdf cleaner into the tank as well. It was a little bit better but still not 100%. So he said take the battery off it might reset it so I did that still nothing. So my mate in the garage said he would clean the pdf filter out for me, he put his snap-on laptop in the car and rev 2500 for about 15 minutes after that he said it was cleaned, it was showing 12 and now showing 0.2. It went a bit better but still not 100% so he said next to do is clean the pipes and egr valve out, which I did and it was full. But it's still the same!! I don't know what's else to do?? 

The problem is, it drives fine on flats roads you can feel it's sluggish when you put your foot down it take ages to get up there. But when you going up hill it's no power its in 3rd doing over 3000 revs and we going like 25mph.

The codes that was coming up is pdf filter and that still comes up now sometimes then go off by itself. Glow plug which was on there when I got it 6 months ago so can't be that my mate said and turbo learn which my mate said that's cause I've taking the battery off. 

We had nothing wrong with it till the exhaust fell off since that we've lost power and can't get it back any ideas would be great thanks Scott

Hi,

Because i try to find a way to program my cluster and my parking module i find a new toy and his name is vxdiag nano. It's around 90£ and you can use SPS from gm, ( that's what they say ) i cheap version of the original gm tools. 
There is someone who used it ? or know something about it ?

Hi Rusty
Many thanks for sorting me out with BT and DAB, I could not believe how simple it was to fit with the instructions provided and without a hitch, bravo.

Hi all

Picking up a 2013 2.0 CDTi Astra Elite on the weekend.

I am also planning on purchasing a set of 18" rims (GM# 13269540)
These are 225/40/R18

I want to drop the car a bit but not to a point that will ruin the ride. I live in the Cotswolds and the roads are bumpy as round here with a number of potholes.
Was thinking 30mm max.

Any suggestions on the rim and spring suggestion?


Thanks in advance all
