Welcome back to the VXOC FORUM.
Sorry for our lack of support over the last year but MYBB is back and so are we.
Let's get the forum buzzing again... (March 25, 2022)x
I was wondering if anyone has added the tesla like touch screen to an Astra J that originally had a navi 650 in, is it as simple as plug and play, or will the loom require modification?
The nightmare recaro seats the VXR unlike many the handles havent snapped, but my passenger seat has reclined right back and wont go forward using the lower lever? anyone ever experienced this issue? as its booked in with Vauxhall next week.
Hi everyone, maybe there's someone here who can help me. I've been looking for a 3D rendering for the astra j hatchback becouse i want to print it. Does anyone have an STL project and is willing to share it?
The tailgate latch on my Astra J 1.7 CDTI estate has packed up and doesn't respond to me unlocking the car either with the remote key or using the switch on the facia panel.
Thanks to a post on this forum, I was able to unlock the tailgate from inside the car which got me out of trouble.
I checked the fuse (assuming I checked the correct one) and it seems fine. In any case I can see 12v on a couple of the pins in the connector that plugs into the lock mechanism.
I took a punt and bought a secondhand lock mechanism on eBay (looks good condition), but after connecting it up, the lock is still not operating :-/
I'm now wondering whether the body control module might have gone faulty, but I'm not sure how I can check this out. All other aspects of the central locking work OK, so I was guessing it wasn't at fault, but perhaps it is.
If anyone knows what voltages I should be seeing across the three pins of the connector plug with the lock activated and deactivated, it might be a good next step to check these.
Apologies if this is in the wrong section, this is my first post..
I've recently got myself a 63plate GTC and noticed last night one of the sidelights is not working.
The bulbs are LED and I understand they function as both the DRL and Sidelights..
With the lights switched off, both DRLs are on, as they should be, but when I switch to sidelights, the driver side dims to sidelight, whilst the passenger side goes off completely.
What would be causing the LEDs to switch off rather than just Dim, is this a case of get new bulbs, or might there be another issue?
Useless with cars but my GTC (2014 (64 plate)) the gear knob has effectively broke. The little silver latch that I hold has broken. Vauxhall are quoting my 600 quid but I cba to pay that. Really don't want to.
I'm wondering if someone could help me identify what replacement I'd require? I have no idea about cars. Quite frankly I bought the GTC 4 years ago and I drive it. Never had an issue with it thankfully.
I'm not particularly knowledgeable when it comes to what Opals are or Astra J's and I'm seeing Vauxhall Safira around alot (I know what a Safira is) but I'm struggling to find the gear knob I need to buy off ebay for my GTC. (I'm in the UK)
I think I've narrowed it down to a few options....
So randomly a couple of weeks ago I got "coolant level low" light on. So I topped it up a little. It came on again so I added a little more to the point that it's on or over where it should be. The error keeps popping up but it will disappear after 10-20 seconds.
I've checked and there are no leaks and the coolant isn't going down at all. I've replaced the coolant sensor too and the message still pops up.
The car never gets hotter than the 90 mark and doesn't smell hot either so it's baffling me. Anyone had this issue?
I have just changed the daytime running lights from the standard halogen bulbs to Canbus LED T20 7443 W21/5's and now they don't seem to come on on Auto light mode, nor when I unlock the car now they don't come on. If I want them on I have to switch to sidelights for them to come on. Is there any fix to this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
