Question Blower issues
Posted by: Abc - 10:th-Oct-2020, 11:58:39 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (9)

Hi.
I have a really annoying blower issue which is made worst now we are at this time of year. When pressing the buttons on the dash to direct air flow travel it’s random and does not direct the air in the direction selected. So this time of year when I want to demist the windscreen I sometimes have to spen 15mins pressing buttons and random combinations until I eventually hear the windscreen vent open and the direction of air finally starts demisting the windscreen.
Can anyone help or give any advise before I decide to sell the car.

  Headlight downgrade
Posted by: Boris.t - 7:th-Oct-2020, 13:16:36 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (4)

Hello,

I own a 2014 Astra J 1.6cdti, which came with regular halogen headlights and factory LED DRLs. The DRLs on the right side, however, have stopped working and I don't think there's a way to repair them, is there? Anyway, not sure I want to.

Here's what I'm thinking instead: I found a pair of good halogen lights with standard DRL bulbs. IMO, they even look better with white-ish bulbs than the stock LED DRLs (never been a fan of those). So, is it a straight swap? Also, are all light units the same, pre and post - facelift? 

Any input is much appreciated. Cheers.

  Broken wheel stud
Posted by: Euroshopper - 5:th-Oct-2020, 19:02:23 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (1)

Hello :P 

The wheel change company I used managed break one of the wheel studs when they remounted my wheels. Is this possible to replace? or do you need to replace the whole wheel bearing? 

From the looks on youtube from other car brands, it looks pretty simple, remove the disc brakes, knock the broken wheel stud out with a hammer, replace with a new wheel stud. Is this equally simple on a Vauxhall astra? Money is a bit thight so I would ideally do it myself if it's an easy job.

  What to buy?
Posted by: ALFRID - 4:th-Oct-2020, 23:16:51 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (3)

Hi guys, I was hoping someone could answer some questions I have been wanting to find out. I have been looking at cars for the last 3 weeks and not a clue what to buy, and recently just started looking at the Astra GTC and I ain't got a clue what model to go for. I think my budget will get me something up to a 2014/15. I owned a civic type r up until 3 weeks ago and would love something performance wise not far off. I know there's the vxr but that's a bit out of my price range. so, here's my questions-

1, As above what do I go for? 2.0 Sri? 1.6i? I really don't know. I do fancy a diesel but what are they like power wise?

2, Do they have heated seats? I can't seem to find any info on the matter.

3, I would like to stream music via BT is this possible with a standard system?

4, I love my music and the speakers were very poor in the civic, what are they like in these?

5, And finally, what shall I look out for whilst looking for one? Hoping to have a look at a couple (hopefully I get some advice from you guys first)

  Replace windscreen washer bottle cap
Posted by: ma444 - 3:rd-Oct-2020, 20:42:16 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (1)

I have broken the cap to the washer bottle. I can see that there's a plastic ring which holds it onto the bottle - how do I get the thing off to replace?
