does any one have a wiring pin out for the ipc
many thanks........

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

Hi.

Looking to lower my 63 plate 2.0 CDTi 5dr.
It's currently on a set of vx 19s.

I'm not keen on going for Eibach springs as I think it's a tad too low. 

Am I right in saying the VXR springs are 25mm and should fit the 5dr 2.0d?
I have these part numbers:
F - 93189755
R - 93186751

Three brands come up for those part numbers, Lesjofors, KYB and Kilen.
Any advice on which to go for?


Thanks

I have a problem with my 1.7 in the morning. I can feel it vibrate a bit to strong when the engine is cold. Everything is back to normal after 4 minutes. I haave read the injectors values and they are jumping around for 4 minutes until injectors will stabilize. Any in here that can read these values and tell me if the injectors are running properly?

Very strange one this morning. Cranked it over and it appeared sluggish, eventually started. Immediately went into SVS mode. Limping along.

Mate said to try charging the battery then disconnect and reconnect and see if that works. Amazingly did this limping along with revs not going over 3k. Big mistake to take it along the A1 but there you go.

Disconnected the battery when I got back, left it for 45 mins. Car started normal with SVS & limp mode cleared.

So now Im after a new battery (fingers crossed this was the issue) conflicting info as to which battery I actually need.

The one in is a OEM GM AGM which Im guessing will be expensive so an aftermarket will do. Any ideas which one I should get.

Vauxhall Astra j 2.0 CDTI elite model 2014 with S/S. My S/S hasnt worked for well over 18 months so not sure if its needed or not battery wise.

Any advice?

Hi There,


I search on this forum about this issue, i don't know if it's common or not i couldn't find any answer.
I own an Astra J Hatchback 1.7 CDTI 96kw 131hp 2012 (A17DTF) with ECU ACDelco AA6P 55584315.

I got 2 main errors prompted on OPCOM and also on other diag tools.
P261A -- Low voltage on Auxiliary Water Pump Circuit (this was the first time i diagnosticated the problem on a service with a delphi tool) 
P067A -- cylinder*4 glow plug control circuit low voltage

Additional
P268A -- i changed the fuel injectors and couldn't learn the low pressure values because i have DTC errors that i cannot solve.

It does quite a lot of DPF regen , i counted like 4-5 cold starts(60-100km) will bring an DPF regen this when outside it's under 4 celsius grades.
During the summer it's the same just it increases the count of cold starts , like 10 (100-150km) .
On tester when i go to DPF regen it's saying that last regen was 480+ km ago and the average of regens/km is also this high. I don't understand why . 
During the regeneration it has a lot of emissions and white smoke with very pronounced smell of CO2 , it lasts for like  5 minutes and the instant consumption goes up to 2.0-2.2l / minute. 

Can this regen issue be caused by the 2 errors above (glow plug + water pump) ? i'm thinking due to the glow plug , the regen is incomplete everytime as it doesn't make enough compression ?


I didn't managed to change the water pump as the water temperature is stable at 90 grades celsius and it doesn't seem to get up to 90 very hard, so to me it works pretty good, didn't understand why the code says the fault it's on auxiliary water pump while the remedy is to change the main water pump (driven by the engine) (https://www.hella.com/techworld/uk/bi/Op...s-up-8824/)

After a while the glow plug error was prompted, bought a brand new BERU glow plug 4.4v with pressure sensor and replaced the cyl4 glow-plug , this didn't solved the issue , although i suspected this wasn't the issue , the service where i was to change the glow-plug  advised to check also the glow-plug harness. I also changed them and this issue wasn't solved, so i went to another service to verify the harness continuity and glow plugs again . The guy from the new service said that the continuity is ok but the ECU is not giving voltage on the pins for the 4th glow-plug and either for the pump.

Do you guys think this is possible? Have anybody met this situation ?

I mention that this car doesn't seem to be a regular one , it doesn't have the glow-plug module mounted on the battery tray , it has a lot of quite expensive parts that are hard to find and replace.



The engine water pump is around 330E
Glow plug is 100E
ECU is around 1250E

I don't want to change the ECU to find that will not solve the issue... plus that it's very hard to find someone that really knows what to do with the ECU.
I've called so many people to ask about this and almost everybody said that it's very difficult to clone the ECU and to pair with all modules, and it might include an IMM OFF , which i don't really understand why ...

Any advises from your part ?
I really like my car and i want to fix it.

Thanks and really appreciate for your time.
