  Navi650 to 950 upgrade
Posted by: Ben Macnair - 22:nd-Aug-2020, 10:27:48 - Forum: Request for information - Replies (3)

Hello,
New on here. I have just bought (picking it up on Tuesday) a 15 plate Astra with the Navi 650 and looking to upgrade so i can have bluetooth and music streaming. I see a couple of posts on here that the Navi 950 can be fitted. Rusty seems to be pretty knowledgeable about this.

I understand that you need the head unit to code it, etc but is the actual changeover of the head unit as simple as removing and unplugging the 650 then plugging in the 950 then refitting all the trim, etc? Is there any additional wiring required? I take it i would need to install a mic to make phone calls but is that the extent of the additional work required to install the 950?

Is there anyone in or around East Lothian, Scotland who can carry this work out? there is a local car audio place to me (called Car Audio Stuff, Dunbar) but i'm not sure he's too keen on installing second hand equipment or equipment he's not sure about.

Anyway, any advice here would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ben

the problem is with my car but the temperature gauge is fully maxed out so am guessing there’s something over heating but just what and when I turn the engine on it doesn’t start sometimes and when it does the the engine starts shaking any chance you know what the problem is Would hugely appreciate it


  Caliper slide pins replacement?
Posted by: umognog - 18:th-Aug-2020, 18:52:52 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (1)

I could swear when I replaced my discs and pads two years ago, I saw a post on here about replacing the rubber sleeved slide pins with plain ones (by buying two packs). Cannot find it with any searching.

Anyway, I didn't do that back then (only had the one set) but I'll be damned the brake squeal has come back and I'm betting the caliper is sticking on that rubber boot two years later.

Looking to replace the slide pins for simply greased plain pins, that an ok/recommended thing to do and are the same pins used throughout the range? Looks like my new workshop is getting its first use!

  Astra J 1.4T Overheating
Posted by: Bear - 16:th-Aug-2020, 13:43:33 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (3)

Hi all looking for advice

My Astra has recently started having overheating problems, Its had a new Thermostat and the waterpump has been removed and checked and is functioning correctly but it still seems to overheat, It'll sit happily on 90 during idle but after 3-5 minutes of driving it'll overheat and creep upto the 110-130 mark and advise the engine has overheated and to idle the engine. I was wondering if anyone else has had an issue like this and what my next steps should be?
