i have a 2014 astra j gtc 1.4t, i keep getting a p0420 fault code , any ideas on what i should be looking for to rectify whatever problem it is , as soon as i clear the code my engine runs perfectly  then 2-3 days later it gets a misfire at about 2500-3000 rpm , thank you in advance

So 77 000 km behind and 10 years, outer and timing belt not yet changed. Heard that when changing outer belt you have to release the tensioner by taking the right inner wing away etc. Is it so? Any tips. Perhaps time to do timing belt, too? Is it normal job (done V6 several times so basically I can do it but never touched 1.6). What is timing belt change interval? How about water pump? Recommendation for kits?

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
