  Astra J SRI 13 Plate - Radiator Fan
Posted by: Gavin1506 - 6:th-Jul-2020, 22:01:04 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC Common Problems - Replies (2)

Good evening guys, 

looking to see if anyone can help with a problem i have with my 13 plate Astra J SRI, 

For a while the radiator fan was staying on (common issue i know), i didnt do anything about it until recently, 

I have replaced the thermostat and housing, the temperature sensor, checked that all the fuses are intact, removed the sensor from the air filter and still nothing from the fan, 

I kept getting the message "coolant level low - add Coolant" i replaced the expansion tank and now ok, 

I have seen that there could be an issue with the relay? unsure which one it is as its not mentioned in the handbook, 

I have also ordered test leads to see if the fan works when i connect to the battery... 

coming a bit unstuck now and just wondered if anyone had any other ideas i could try before i put it into the garage? 

Thanks
Gavin


  Boot trim clip
Posted by: leighton.read@sky.com - 6:th-Jul-2020, 18:27:33 - Forum: Request for information - Replies (2)

Does anyone have a part number for the blue clips used to hold the boot trim in place.
   

Done a bit of browsing and it seems there may be different sizes of these.


  NAVI 950 DAB+ Upgrade
Posted by: leighton.read@sky.com - 3:rd-Jul-2020, 19:09:36 - Forum: ICE - Replies (10)

I bet this has been posted before as it must be a common ask but I'm after a guide to upgrading an existing NAVI950 to add DAB+ capability.
Can someone advise the parts required (other than a U4D module and DAB antenna) and if any coding is needed for the system to recognize the new module?

Thanks in advance


Possible to install boot fuse board?
Posted by: Find_By_SQL - 2:nd-Jul-2020, 17:45:52 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (3)

Hello, 

I know this is probably a stupid idea and question but is it possible to install a rear boot fuse board?

If it is possible I want to install TPMS and an anti dazzling mirror, unless all this can be done without a rear fuse board?

I look forward to seeing the comments, 
Thank you, 
Callum. W.


  Racechip S Tuning Box
Posted by: Marc_81 - 1:st-Jul-2020, 23:11:13 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (2)

Hi All,

Tonight I spotted a Racechip S tuning box going quite cheap near me so thought I'd give it a go. I've always fancied a remap but just can't justify the cost at the minute.. £60 for the Racechip I can handle and get away with telling the wife!

Anyway I pick it up tomorrow and will probably fit it at the weekend. My question is has anyone much experience with the settings? Its for a 2.0 CDTI 165. I don't want to go in at the low setting and barely feel a difference but on the other had  I don't want to go in too high and risk problems. This is my first experience with a tuning box so any help or advice is much appreciated.

Marc


  2017 GTC Limited edition - Front wheel noise
Posted by: Nathan191210 - 1:st-Jul-2020, 22:49:30 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (4)

Hello,

The cars 3 years old now and has started making a strange sound from the front wheel when turning to the right. Its like a grinding noise. It started about a month after the front brake disc & pads where changed. 
It is most noticeable at low speed and happens when going forward or in reverse. 

When I first got the car i took it back to the dealer as at speeds of around 40MPH and above there was a wining sound, only noticable when the windows are open. They couldn't find a problem and I didnt push it at the time. Every year as summer start I get reminded of the issue when I open my windows.

I was thinking it might be the bearing but unsure, any ideas?
It would be great to get the part code of the front wheel bearings/hub as on Euro car parts it says there two fitments for my car. 

Cheers

Hello, 

My name is Callum, I have recently purchased a 2014 Astra J 1.6CDTI Ecoflex Tech Line because my old Volvo V40 D2 1.6 headgasket decided to blow :(

I've got a few things I'd like doing to it, a little work in progress but due to being an Arable farmer and contractor, not really got much time at the moment due to harvest coming up etc. 

My first plans for the car is to install ambient light around the gear stick and door panels, I then want to retrofit a Bluetooth module to my Navi650 since it hasn't got bluetooth streaming unfortunately :(

Here is some pictures of the new wagon  











Thank you, 
Callum. W.


  Rear diffuser

Does anyone know of a rear diffuser that will fit an Astra Gtc Biturbo? I have seen quite a few on Ebay but when I message the trader they say it will not fit.

I have a basic cd400 & i am looking to get a navi 650 fitted with dab + upgrade the basic small IPC to get the extra menus.
Anyone in Scotland or slightly further afield that can do this
