  Water leak in boot, spare wheel
Posted by: karl100100 - 10:th-Mar-2020, 20:00:16 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC Common Problems - Replies (12)

Hi

My Astra has a leak in the boot, where the spare wheel is. The boot itself is dry. But there is damp on the back seat and the passenger footwellis wet.

I have just taken it to my local Vauxhall Dealer, they did tests all day, could not find out where the leak was. They said they would need to take out the carpet, seats and take off the bumper to find out more. Would be 6 hours labour. Im picking the car up tomorrow. It would cost over £400 before any parts.

Any ideas?  Thanks

  Centre Speaker Woes
Posted by: andyp - 5:th-Mar-2020, 19:24:34 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (2)

Hi All
Know this has been covered more than once, have fitted an Alpine SXE centre speaker now I did not have the factory wire to connect to so ran a positive from one dash top tweeter and a negative from the other, great better sound or so I thought! until I got a phone call this was so quite as hardly able to hear, playback must come through the tweeters, now will fitting better tweeters help or have I got to go down the subwoofer amplifier route? the head unit is Vauxhalls CD600.

Thanks for any help


  Coolant pump 1.7 96kw?
Posted by: alexandrufalfan - 5:th-Mar-2020, 10:01:35 - Forum: Mechanical - Replies (6)

Hi there,

Does anybody know if there is any big difference between the 2 sensor water pumps that are on the 1.7 engine . Opel Astra J
The sensor pump from nr crt 8 is very expensive and very hard to find, i'm wondering if i can change it with nr crt 7 and also change the pulley as it's different.
Basically should do the same thing no?

I have attached a photo with the 2 water pumps

Thanks,

Wrong Spark plugs
Posted by: chris87 - 4:th-Mar-2020, 17:50:35 - Forum: Request for information - No Replies

Hi all,
I am having exactly the same problem with a 2nd hand Astra as in this thread: https://www.vxoc.org.uk/forum/Thread-Any...t=55576026
The supplied spark plugs actually seem to be not suitable for the 1.4T engine at all. Their part number is 55565219 and they are chopper plus and not iridium.

Now, one of the supplied spark plugs broke and damaged the engine and I am having to provide some evidence that my car was supplied with wrong plugs. So far so good. No-one can access the invoice of the previous owner, but the dealership confirmed it was apparently serviced with GM plugs that are fine for the next 60.000miles - mine are not GM stamped, blue writing, they only state Champion RC10MCC R6...
The correct part number is 55576026 as stated in this thread, I did ask the dealerships. This part number was updated recently to 95528733. 

Now I wonder how it can be that approved Vauxhall dealerships insert wrong spark plugs? Around the same time? My service was done also in 2016 in April. (yes, it's 2020...waiting to resolve this for the past 2 years) I wonder if there are more cases like this? Anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be very helpful. 

No warranty anymore, so cannot go with this.

Also the usual problems, slow coolant loss....finally found a crack in thermostat housing, but that's the least of the problems now.

Thanks,
Christin
