2010 Opel Astra J A16XER.
Heated rear window works fine, the mirrors don't at all.
I checked fuse F6 in the engine bay and it is okay.
I checked the heater resistance and both sides are about 10.5 Ohm.
I measured voltage between the positive terminal on the battery and both the fuse and the both terminals on the mirror and every time I measured battery voltage. Testing to the negative battery terminal yields 0 V, which suggest that there is ground potential on the leads and something isn't switching to close the circuit.
I couldn't find any schematics or diagrams and I don't know what to check next.

One of my glow plugs is defect, so they need to be changed. I have a A13DTE engine and there is a step by step guide here on how to change them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onMmIltMokQ&t=637s 

However this is quit intricate process by removing turbo and DSP, one or two comments on this video claims that all glow plugs can be removed by using a glow plug removal socket set and only removing the oil feeder and heatshield. 
Like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282975441040

Have someone done this before and can confirm this is possible? Would be way easier to just buy such a set and remove them without to much trouble.


Cheers!

Hello 

I get a SvS fault when I start the car. I used a multimeter to measure the resistance of the glow plugs and one was not working, so I am betting the SvS is a faulty glow plug.

Will the electric current overload the 3 working ones, so they will fail soon? So I need to replace all of them asap? And will a car with 3/4 working glow plugs start fine in really cold weather like -15 Celsius?

Hello,

I have a Astra J 1.3 CDTI with engine code: A13DTE

I need to change my glow plugs. How do I find out if my car uses those expensive glow plugs with sensors or not?

Kind regards
Euro

Hi

Paul here with a 2010 Insignia 2.0 CDTI. Im in the process of retrofitting after fitting replacement engine.

Ive done loads of conversion etc on early (Pre 2008) Vauxhalls. Including loads of Fords up to 2015. (Mainly Transits).

Hi all, 

Sorry for the really stupid email but thought I'd ask a group of people who'll know more than me.

I purchased an Astra GTC Limited Edition for my wife which came as standard with the 20" wheels.

Unfortunately the road she takes to work is damaged with nasty pot holes and shes damaged her alloys.

I'm looking to get these sent in for repair but we going to put on a set of 18" alloys (can't go lower due to size of the brake kit fitted) but I'm unsure of the wheel setup.

The ones on the car are as follows from what I've found through Vauxhall:

[*]Alloy Wheel 20 inch - 5-Y-spoke
[*]Smart high-quality alloy wheel with 5-Y-spoke design and bi-colour finish.
[*]Fits tyre size 245/40 R 20 95W
[*]Dimensions: 8.5J x 20 ET 41
[*]Bolt pattern: 5 x 115

Anyone have an idea for an 18" wheel with regards to the setup as above.

Thanks to everyone who reads this message and / or replies

Greatly appreciated

First of all, HOW MUCH !!!!!

My Astra has had the SVS message for a few months now, originally Cylinder #3, and now #4 also. I guess by not replacing the one first, the others are over compensating for the one thats down and has knocked out #4 also.

Anyway, typically with discounts at ECP they are around £11-£18 each.
OH NO.

This one is going to cost me £80 each !!

Really, for a blooming glow plug?

Hi all, 

I currently own a 1.4T SRI and the stopping power really isn't there. I was wondering how hard it would be to fit a set of VXR Brembo Calipers onto my car. I've found a set of Front Calipers on Ebay and they're reasonably priced. What else would be needed apart from the obvious of Calipers, Discs and pads?



Any help would be appreciated

As per the title really, does anyone know what the part number for a navi 650 screen surround is?

Would a surround with part number 13368988 fit?


Thanks

Hi all.

i've got on my dash the svs message, i took the car to a garage for a diagnose, and it came out with code P0672, glow plug on cilinder 2 faulty.

I ordered op-com, and when i read codes i got the same code (P0672) and 5 others.

can anyone tell me if the other codes are related to the faulty glow plug, or if they mean that more issues are going on?

thanks
