Hi all had a new dpf filter fitted today at vauxhall... Got home plugged opcom in and it saying 76% soot? Is this normal for a new dpf?

My Astra is still with my local independent garage (great people).  For the second time in the last month, they have ordered parts from the local Vauxhall dealership. And for the second time, the wrong parts have been delivered. The parts are on a 7-working days' lead time, so again I am without the car for a couple of weeks.  The local garage are at their wits' end dealing with Vauxhall.

Any recommendations for a reliable supplier of genuine Vauxhall parts, either serving north west London (I am in NW3) or serving the UK?

Thanks
Jonathan.

So my dpf light came on and noticed before that my astra would not do dpf regens anymore. I plugged in my tester and got these codes. I have to do a forced regeneration using the tester every 250km and these codes keep coming up. Do i need to replace my dpf filter?

Hi everyone I am getting the following error code P0006 using an obd scanner and the code relates to Fuel Shutoff Valve A Ctrl Circ Low
is this something that is easily fixed I have noticed the the car seams to miss fire and I have seen an increase in the fuel consumption. 

My Astra J MY13 jerking while downshifting specially between the 4th and 3rd or between the 5th and 4th because it downshifts so fast .. any solution ?

Hi chaps,

Im looking for a bit of help here please...I own a 2014 GTC 1,4 sri which developed a fault last week. Was overtaking and suddenly there was a loss of power limp mode and got the 'service vehicle soon' light show up. So drove car straight to the garage to be checked out. Fault codes P0229 (boost pressure) and C055C (steering box power performance failed) the outcome was turbo had blown due to oil being too thick as i hadn't had it changed for a while so i thought yer fair enough. So new turbo, pipes, filter, oil and flush cost a few quid but while driving home from garage the exact same thing happened again?? Obviously im going to take it back to the garage but any help would be really appreciate please. cheers

Hi Guys,

Its been a long time, which is a good thing I guess because it means I haven't had any problems with my car
I have one now...

The spring that detaches the clutch from the AC is partly broken.
It's this part below. One of the 3 metal colored springs is broken in two. Because of this the clutch doesn't disengage well and makes a not so nice noise when the AC compressor turns itself off. AC works fine otherwise but I'm sure the clutch is wearing off way too fast now.

Should be an easy fix (except it uses pentalobe screws but I'll find me a screwdriver somewhere) but I can't seem to find the part. I found and ordered one for a Astra H in hopes it would fit but its a few millimeters too large.

Can you guys help me find the part please? I should be shipped to Belgium.
Can't seem find it second hand as they will allways sell the whole compressor not just one part.
Astra J - 1.7 CDTI 110HP

Thanks

Finally got round to replacing my DRL bulbs to some that are a bit more white. One issue.. i stupidly managed to snap the retaining clips on one side. The holder feels OK without them, and obviously the plastic cover is on the back. Am I likely to have any issues.. is this repairable at all??

On the plus side the Maruta (formerly MTEC) bulbs seem to fit OK and give off a nice white light. I have MTEC super white headlight bulbs which I've always found to be good. Plus they were a lot cheaper than PIAA bulbs.

Cheers

Hi,

I bought my 2013 Gtc 2.0l about a month ago. Absolutely love it but the previous owner must of fit what I thought was an aftermarket satnav/touchscreen unit but apparently it’s from an insignia? The touchscreen works fine and the satnav does too and SOME of the speakers work... but the center console buttons don’t work, not a single one of them do anything? The only way I can control the volume is on the steering wheel buttons (which all work fine) the speakers in the doors don’t work and maybe a few More? And also the Bluetooth will not connect? Also the screen shows the time wrong, the temperature wrong and the radio station wrong?


Is this an upgrade that will actually work? Has the work been done wrong, is it something as simple as something not being plugged in right? Or am I best off buying the standard unit and fitting that? I’d love to keep the touchscreen and satnav in it if I can get the rest working?

Any help would be appreciated!’
