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
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.
