Hi all, this looks like a handy resource, i've already bookmarked a howto thread. 
I've had a few Astras previously, and liked them, but the J model is the nicest so far. 
Mine is a 2010 1.4t so, getting on a bit and liable to need some attention, glad I found VXOC.

After reading the manual it appears that my car should remember the last radio station (personalised key function). But every time I get in, it tunes into Classic FM, now I'm not against classical music, in fact I quite enjoy it, but why doesn't it remember my favourites? I've tried both keys but can't seem to get it to remember the last station.

What am I doing wrong???

Greetings!

Just wanted to introduce myself. I've recently bought an Astra GTC 2.0TD so I thought that it may be a good idea to join

Cheers!

Hi all, 

Got a little problem with the GTC 2014 Sport CDTI 2.0L. Recently its been making this horrible grinding noise. The noise is really loud when I turn the car on in the morning, it eases away when the car is warmed up a bit but does not disappear. It seems to be coming from under the engine but I can't be sure.


A lot of information online has pointed to the DMF or clutch release bearing, not sure which applies to me.

The noise is made when;
- The car is turnt on, gear in neutral, clutch decompressed
- First gear, second gear and can even hear it slightly in higher up gears
- When the clutch is disengaged

When I push down the clutch, the noise seems to go and returns when I put it into gear and release the clutch.

I've attached a short video (turn up volume)
Look forward to your replies, any info would be useful

Thanks, Matt

Recently joined as I've bought a 2011 Insignia as a daily, and then found this place whilst investigating CD500 hack after finding out I need an original CD...

Hi all, has anyone got any recommendations for a tow bar for a 2011 GTC. Ideally a removable one. Do I need dedicated wiring or a generic kit? Any suggestions gratefully received.

im thinking of fitting a sub/amp, the main power wire needs to connect to the battery (+)
can any one tell me if there is any where in side the car I can connect to.

Looking at changing dip headlights (as seems popular) and came across these on offer at Amazon if anyone's interested.
