Hey guys

I have a 2013 Astra GTC 2.0 with 62k on the clock. The car has been overheating as it give me the code P2428. the car has had the exhaust temp sensor replaced but still the problem still persists.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all

Bit of a strange one. I purchased a 2013 Astra J 1.7 CDTI last September, and had a service light pop up every time the ignition was switched on. However after pressing the set/clr button on the end of the stalk it vanished and would reappear again only after the engine was switched off and restarted. I just assumed since the car was serviced before I got it the garage hadn't reset the indicator and never thought anything of it. Jumped in the car tonight and it popped up again only now it won't vanish, and stays illuminated even when the engine is switched off and they keys are out of the ignition. 

Any ideas? Cars don't about 105,000, 6000 of those are from me. 

Thank you

hi, got an astra j 2010 1.6 petrol.
keeps going into limp mode and traction control light is on and radiator fan kicks in instantly,
done a diagnostics at home and with vauxhall get loads of random codes but the 1 that is always there is p0366 ( camshaft sensors) had them changed and still no better, 
a few people have said its the ecu so just had that sent for testing but they are saying they are unable to test it and wont say why.
any help would be really appreciated thanks

Guys,

I have bought a set of wheels, which I really liked the look of, but I cannot determine which specific variant these are off?

I was sold them as off asn Astra 2014 GTC. They are 18" and are like a fan blade. They come with 235/50/18 tyres.
They are genuine GM/Vauxhall.

Any thoughts?

Im really keen on putting them on my Astra 2011 Elite once the winters come off.

Thanks.

Hello guys, which size of wheels and tires would you recommend for a 1.6CDTi with 110hp?
Currently I'm using winter tires 215/65R16 with 6.5J steel wheels. I want to buy some ALU rims for the summer and new summer tires.
Found some good 17" rims, but at 18" there is even more to choose from. Would 18s be uncomfortable? Or too big for this engine?
I found info for the 136hp engine and recomended sizes go up to 235x40R19 with 8J width, but I cannot find info for my engine.

I was thinking about 225x50R17 with 7J rims, but I guess 18s would fit better. I'm just concerned with engine strength and how comfortable the car will be.

 Hello

Hi all,

Last week while it was raining a lot of steam was coming up from the radiator, so I took it back to the independent I bought it from as it's still under warranty.

They said they couldn't find anything wrong, they did a 2 hour compression test and all came back fine. No coolant loss. And it's not let out steam since.

However a new problem has arose...

When the engine is warm, I get a lot of white smoke out the back that smells awful, a bit like burnt rubber or perhaps coolant.

What could this be? Googling suggests a head gasket, but it wasn't doing this before the compression test and its not overheating or losing oil/coolant.
