  roof rails removal
Posted by: DNT - 15:th-Apr-2020, 12:38:16 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC Common Problems - Replies (8)

My roof rails look pretty bad as you can see below. Any ideas on how to remove them without braking any clips underneath in order to spray paint them? Where should I start prying?

  Astra Issues – Faulty thermostat?
Posted by: dmort - 15:th-Apr-2020, 09:36:50 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (1)

So, my Astra A16 LET 1.6 Turbo recently sprung a leak as the thermostat housing had split.
Replaced the thermostat and housing and the 2 temperature sensors (one in the housing and 1 on the radiator), which fixed the leak. However, the fan is still constantly on maximum all the time, coolant level low message appearing (I think the radiator is empty as the reservoir is filled up and doesn’t drop), and the coolant temp won’t get over 75C using an OBD reader. 

No codes are present with the OBD reader and the heater vents are producing hot air.

Also, Since fitting the thermostat, the fuel gauge is stuck on empty even though it has half a tank in. This was working prior to having the Thermostat and sensors replaced. I assume this is related? It was working prior to this with no issues. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


  dash cluster faulty
Posted by: niteram - 12:th-Apr-2020, 17:29:07 - Forum: Electrical - Replies (3)

Hi, we've got a problem with my daughters J (1.6 petrol)
started it today and the central info display between the speedo and rev counter doesn't light up
it looked like it trying to say the normal warnings, change oil, put foot on clutch etc all barely visible as not lit up in red

the last thing it said was PROGRAM CLUSTER

which doesn't sound good to me,

any ideas how I can cure this at home?

  Has my car been mapped
Posted by: Kiel0777 - 12:th-Apr-2020, 09:38:39 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (6)

Hi all had my car for around 4 months and as far as I'm aware it hasn't done a single regen. 
With it being mapped and possible dpf deleted may have caused this but how will I know?
