  Weird burning smell and fan on 100%
Posted by: Sc0tty05 - 10:th-Feb-2017, 18:26:26 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (11)

Hey guys and girls just thought I would post looking for some advice.  Got a 2010 Astra j Sri with 35k on the. Lock and recently I've been having a service vehicle soon message pop up more frequently. Tried a mate's code reader but I don't believe it was up to much as it didn't find anything. This coincides with sometimes the engine fan is on 100% at hot and cold start.

Has this happened to anyone else? I get a sort of burning smell in the vents at times also.

Not really even sure where to start but I would rather do as much as I can myself before going to a garage.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice

Thanks for allowing me to join.
Im looking for a bit of advice. My motor had recently developed a fault where the car misfires and has a sudden and momentary loss of power. I put a diagnostic device on the obd and no fault codes showed up. Ive not had the chance to look at it yet as its the wifes car, but mine when something goes wrong. Any heads up greatly appreciated.
Cheers
David


  Turbo/boost
Posted by: Sadams - 8:th-Feb-2017, 19:20:28 - Forum: Mechanical - Replies (3)

Hi all,

I'm new to the group so apologies if I'm in the wrong place. I have an Astra j 1.7cdti on a 2011 plate. Long storey short, I bought a lemon of a car and have had to have a engine rebuild at 76k! Since the rebuild when I accelerate between 1800-2000rpm the car sounds like a dentists electric drill to best describe it. The turbo has been checked and is ok and no splits or lose pipes. My mechanic is scratching his head and even had it in rolling road diagnostics today and nothing came up and cannot find the cause.

Has anyone experienced this before or have any idea of the possible cause?

Hi , new on here and wondered if any one has come across the same problem I am having.I have a 2014 GTC 2.0Cdti
With just under 40.000 miles .The other day I turned on the ignition and the ESP service & ABS lights have come on and are on permantley .I phoned my local vx dealer as the car is in warranty and they said they want £80.00 to do a diagnostic and fits found to be a warranty issue I would not have to pay.I cannot justify where they get these figures from so I had a mate look at it and have come up with fault codes u0125-00 lost comminications with multi-axis acceleration sensor module & code U0415-00 Has anyone else come across this problem and can you throw any light on what could be the cause ?

Tested this morning, all seems to be working fine, let me know if any issues. Sorry if you couldn't access for a bit.
