Thanks

Hey Guys,

So recently noticed an issue. On my 62 plate 1.7 Astra GTC.

When I unlock the car and open and try to get into the passenger side door, the door won't open no matter how much I pull on it?

Any ideas

Thanks?

  navi950 controls configuration
Posted by: livo - 15:th-Jun-2021, 19:41:05 - Forum: Electrical - Replies (4)

Hi, needing help, I have changed from a cd500 to a navi950, I have a Astra j and the navi950 came from a Mokka so i have to use the buttons from the cd500, all is working fine including the dab+ module except for the controls they are wrong, 90% of the buttons do different actions. do i need to find a set of buttons from a Astra j or can the navi950 be reprogrammed to work with the cd500 buttons? Thanks

  Car Insurance - no gimmicks
Posted by: ChrisKnottIns - 14:th-Jun-2021, 15:09:22 - Forum: Chris Knott Insurance - No Replies

Hi,

No gimmicks or competitions this month, as we don't want you to lose sight of the real reason you should try us for your car insurance...

If you like a person-to-person service that also offers competitive quotes for car club members and enthusiasts, you should be talking to us.

You can call us FREE on 0800 917 2274 or complete brief contact details at the link and we'll aim to be your best option this year.

https://www.chrisknott.co.uk/carquote/?ref=191

Just a quick question to help us plan for our new website coming soon... We can't offer a full online quote service as our quotes are bespoke but if we made the quote form longer so we could gather the details we need to email/phone back with a quote would you prefer that to the short form where we have to call you for the remaining details? There'd still be an element of human contact so either of us can ask questions or seek clarity and we'll always be available by phone, just as now.

Let me know if you'd value it and use it. Thanks.

best,
Nick

  Changed stereo, infotainment stopped working
Posted by: NELLY1996 - 10:th-Jun-2021, 15:43:10 - Forum: Electrical - No Replies

Hello everyone,

Apologies if this has been posted before but I've done tonnes of searching and can't find a similar problem to mine.

Basically I have changed the stereo (cd400) in my Astra J 1.6CDTI 136, to a Sony head unit. After I changed the head unit the infotainment system doesn't work, but it gets power as there is a back light on the unit. I have the Panasonic LCD display and I retrofitted the old 4 line "8 bit" style unit and both have the same problem.

I followed Rusty2009's guide from this website to fit the stereo and even had multiple people at Halfords stumped from this problem.

I've tried the universal patch lead, the Sony specific patch lead. The old style connects2 box without the dipswitches and none of this has worked.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Oil Leak at Intercooler pipe / Throttle body
Posted by: everson38 - 9:th-Jun-2021, 23:26:09 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - No Replies

Hey guys

I have a 1.7 62 plate GTC. I have noticed there is a semi decent oil leak coming from the underside of the pipe , where my intercooler pipe meets my throttle body. The issue is, that the clamp seems to be in fully seated and there is no o ring so why is it leaking? I doubt it's a split hose as it was replaced a a couple years back for a new one at the garage where I bought the car?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
