Hi,

For the 2nd time now I have encountered the same issue.
My car doesn't get used much for long trips nowadays but I encountered this problem on his last long trip a week ago and one month ago:

Car driving fine, full power no error messages.
Suddenly no power when pushing gas pedal, car begins to stutter instead. But still runs in idle. Engine light comes on.
This problem gets worse over the next seconds until the car runs so rough in idle it stalls.
Restarting the car goes suuper rough or not at all.

First time I waited about 1 hour and after that the car worked fine again, even after a 1 hour drive. Engine light went off.
2nd time I had to get it towed as I was on a motorway. When they returned the car it started up as normal and engine light was off.

My guess is some sensor that is acting up, or something getting clogged. But offcourse there are a lot of things in an engine
Could it be the EGR valve sticking? I cleaned it last year and it's about 4 years old. I heard EGR valve doesn't throw up an error code.
Could it be the injectors?
Air sensor/MAF?

I don't have enough experiencie with engines to pinpoint the problem myself.
Any suggestions are very welcome.

BTW: i have no way of reading fault codes unless if I go to a garage.

Thank you!!

Hi all
I am quite new at this forum, so this is my first poost and I hope not break any rules.
In the last days I noticed my Astra is making some weird noise. It seems there is some broken piece inside and quite often creates this `crack` sound. 
The car is an ASTRA J 1.4 turbo 140cv with 67.000km
I want able to attach the video, but I share a google drive link where you can watch and hear the noise.

Hope you guys can help me.
Tks!

New Astra 1.4T owner here! Just picked it up on Monday, still getting to know it! I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions, and look forward to being part of the community. Have come from a long line of Vauxhalls, (Vectra/Insignia) so if I can help anyone else, will be happy to!

Hi, I bought an Astra J a couple of weeks ago, since then a few problems have surfaced. It started after I removed the battery to replace the air bag and steering wheel. Code 16 came on, found that a bulb had blown so replaced that, code gone but still no brake lights. I then noticed that the brake lights would illuminate with the reverse light.

Today while driving I noticed that the brake lights are coming on but not when I press the pedal, seems to be in response to slowing down, then coming of when accelerating. maybe unrelated but my remote locking keyfob stopped working too.  I've never came across this problem before and think it's really strange, hope someone can help me shine some light on it. Really would appreciate some expertise on this, I'm going my wits end with it.

Looked on Opcom and there does seem to be some trouble codes.

Customer feedback about club specialist Chris Knott

"Great staff, a big help and an excellent saving." Tony, Trustpilot

"I got mine insured through Chris Knott when I switched to my Mk4. Completely standard, no mods, they beat the best quote I could find online." alexp999, Focus ST Owners Club

"Well went with Chris Knott last year after getting a great quote. Renewal came round again so was expecting to have to move again to achieve a good price. Renewal quote came through from Chris Knott and had not gone up but stayed about the same. Found a cheaper alternate quote and they matched it without any trouble. So another year with Chris Knott. Great customer service." BMW Chaz, BimmerForums

"Excellent response and good price and cover. Thanks" Les, Trustpilot

"My family has been with Chris Knott for 20+ years. Over the past year Chris Knott's staff have been extremely helpful to me in having to change the various insurances we had following a change in my circumstances." Miss J Black, Trustpilot

Hi everyone.

I have a 63plate Biturbo 5 door model which has recently developed a judder/vibration on acceleration. 

After much messing around getting wheels balanced and aligned and swapping wheels around I've been advised it is likely the clutch/fly wheel.

Does anybody know of any decent independent Vauxhall specialists in the Aldershot/Hampshire area that will do this work?
(I refuse to use the local Vauxhall dealership as they are completely useless)


Thanks.

Hi All

I'd like to replace the horn in my 2016 GTC.

Can anyone please advise if there is a better way to get to the old horn and replace it other than removing the entire front bumper assembly ?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Many thanks

Ed

hi anyone know how I can upgrade my insignia cd 400 to a navi 600

Hi,

I currently keep getting a underboost error on my 1.4t.


I am looking to clean my egr valve as the error points to that. But I can find naff all about the valve on this engine. Where is it and how can it be removed? Anyone got tips or even better a link?

Does the egr need to be deleted in the ecu if blanked on this engine?


Thanks,
Ben

Hi guys will a back box delete give more exhaust noise?
