  Car unlocked and front windows half down.
Posted by: Multiskilled - 3:rd-Jan-2020, 00:13:43 - Forum: Electrical - Replies (4)

Hi, just gone out to find car Astra j 1.7 cdti Ecoflex with front windows half way down and doors unlocked.

I've searched this site and two other Vauxhall sites as I'm sure I read a post from someone with the same problem, to no avail. Any one come across this fault before or can direct me to the the relevant post. Thanks.

  2014 Astra 2.0L 165 HP F40 gearbox quantity of oil??
Posted by: Kpal11 - 31:st-Dec-2019, 01:21:54 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (3)

  • Hi all,
I have searched around on so many forums now and unable to find a definitive answer as I have heard rumours of vauxhall overfilling the F40 gearbox so I have heard it holds 2.4L, 2.6L, 1.9L, I dont have a clue how much is in thereor whether should be putting in less than what I get out because that what I have seen on a few forums. Would really appreciate some guidance on this!! All I do know is I will be using Redline 75W-85 GL04 oil for it... but how much of it??? ??

Thanks for the help!


  Intermittent low loss of engine power
Posted by: Mark72 - 27:th-Dec-2019, 21:23:25 - Forum: Mechanical - Replies (2)

Hi all hope you’ve all had a great Christmas.

I’m experiencing a strange fault/ feeling with my 1.7 Cdti Astra.
At times it feels like the engine is a bit flat and other times it’s normal, I have also noticed a very slight hesitation under normal acceleration. It sometimes feels like a non turbo engine. No apparent leaks on the pipework and no engine management light on. Has anyone had any experience of similar issues, I’m thinking either the turbo’s on its way out or the boost pressure sensor or mass airflow sensor playing up.

Thanks in advance.

Mark

Posted by: Tedwalking - 26:th-Dec-2019, 09:43:47 - Forum: Electrical - Replies (1)

I have a problem with my 2012 Astra gtc 1.7 cdti sport 40.000 miles I have owened it for about 6 months now and all is good except that about 6 weeks ago code 54 WATER IN FUEL FILTER came up and then it whent a way but in the last 2 to 3 weeks it comes on at each startup, then after 5 mins it has gone off, So I decided to change the fuel filter the car seems to go a lot better but I still get CODE 54 COME UP each time I start up, can anyone tell me what it could be and what to try next. By the way I did not find any water in fuel filter when I drained it.
Thank You
Ted


  CV joint?
Posted by: umognog - 23:rd-Dec-2019, 20:11:41 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (9)

Evening guys and dolls.

Going to get the J in the garage asap but with the time of year... It will be a couple of days.

So randomly, it starting knocking from the offside drive wheel tonight. When I say knock, this is like someone with a little hammer hitting at a regular interval, not a tick or a click.

It is into happening when it's in gear and under load accelerating.

I'm thinking drive shaft/CV combo?

  Water dripping
Posted by: AndyF79 - 18:th-Dec-2019, 15:56:44 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC Common Problems - Replies (6)

Hey guys

I’ve just popped the bonnet to replace the broken stuck reverse switch. With thanks to all those who assisted in advising its location.

Anyway as I was doing I noticed a lot of water dripping from the back of the engine bay and got concerned.

It’s not coloured it’s just water colour and has no smell to it.

Is it something to be worried about or nothing.

Picture attached to show the water dripping area

SVS help needed again!!!
Posted by: hooper - 17:th-Dec-2019, 22:38:49 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (6)

Hello all

Bought a 2013 2.0 CDTi back in May. 42k
In July it came up with a SVS message and went into limp mode.
Garage came up with a P2428 error - Exhaust gas temperature sensor 1 - High temp. Low Voltage.
Had the sensor replaced and a forced regen done.
Car has been fine since...

Until Sunday night. 
Filled half the tank at Tesco (yes I know, not ideal fuel). 4 miles later SVS light came on and limp mode.
Error didn't clear and car has stayed in limp mode. No EML, no DPF warning, just SVS and limp mode.
Green Flag plugged in Autel AutoLink OBDII this evening and no error code.

Can I keep driving the car until I can get it into the garage?

Any comments greatly appreciated.

Thanks
