Hi All,

I just picked up my 2016 GTC Limited Edition 1.6CDTI yesterday but have a few questions around headlights. The more I look online the more confused I get, does the 16-17 Limited Ed have different headlights from the previous models as it looks like the same bulb is used for both high beam and dipped?

I can hear a mechanical noise coming from the headlights when flicking from high to low beam. 

I plan to order these https://www.hids-direct.co.uk/580-w21-5w...air-white/ as per the DRL thread but I'm not 100% sure what bulbs I need to get for the headlights. 

For the main/dipped beam do I just need a standard H7 55v 447?

A link to something white that would closely match the DLR's would be great.


Cheers

Does anybody know the size of the usb connection that plugs into the back of the radio headunit 

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.

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
