  Fuel consumption - 1.3 CDTI
Posted by: mw2299 - 18:th-Sep-2017, 22:22:30 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (3)

I've got a 1.3 CDTI and the fuel consumption seems really quite bad to me? The car is completely standard atm, yet out of half a tank I'm only getting 150-160 miles? I haven't filled it up yet, and I don't really do it unless I need to, but I can't see why it's so bad. The car has FSH and was serviced 11 months ago. Any ideas?

  Problem with DRL
Posted by: mw2299 - 18:th-Sep-2017, 15:05:09 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (5)

Hi guys

I have an issue with my Daytime Running Lights. When the light switch is set for just the DRLs, the passenger side's DRL doesn't work at all. If I switch to the park/side lights, they work fine (and are dimmed as they should be). If I switch to dipped beam, then both the DRLs are on along with the dipped beam. Could it still be the bulb or is it something else?

  Corrosion on underneath of Astra
Posted by: irishastraowner - 17:th-Sep-2017, 13:55:55 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC Common Problems - Replies (4)

Their seems to be a good bit of corrosion on the underneath of my opel astra (2012 model). Has anyone else experienced this? Were they not treated with a high quality corrosive paint. I don't drive through water that would touch the underneath of the body. I do live on the west coast of Irl so their would be an element of salt water but surely it shouldn't cause this so noticeably.

Any suggestions as to how to rectify this?


I would post pictures but for some reason my attempts to upload them fail.
