  Intercooler Fitting
Posted by: MCG1983 - 7:th-Nov-2019, 09:42:01 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC Technical - Replies (1)

Hi, I'm looking for an intercooler kit for the Astra GTC 1.6T 200ps version, engine code A16SHT. But all I can find online is kits for the older Astra GTC 1.6T 180ps version, engine code A16LET.

Does anybody know if the fittings for an intercooler kit are identical on both models?

I know when I was purchasing a downpipe, the fittings were totally different.

Thanks, Steven

  Will fitting downpipe pass MOT?
Posted by: MCG1983 - 4:th-Nov-2019, 01:03:02 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (1)

Hi, I'm looking to fit a downpipe and an intercooler onto my 200PS Astra J GTC, as I have access to a 265PS tuning map with these mods. I am looking to leave the main cat as the standard Vauxhall one, and leave the rest of the exhaust standard too.

Will this pass an MOT?

Thanks.

  The Wife's 1.7cdti Mokka
Posted by: Rusty2009 - 2:nd-Nov-2019, 11:13:21 - Forum: Members car's progress threads - Replies (41)

So I bought the wife a Mokka at last.

It is 2013 EXCLUSIV 1.7cdti with AFL.

There was an issue with the AFL lights doing a constant start up which was resolved with a new headlight unit.

The Mrs wanted me to give it the full VXOCElectrabizz treatment.

So I started with an LED conversion & LED interior bulb upgrades along with adding footwell lighting.

Next was to remove the CD400+ and retrofit a Navi950 DAB+ & Rear camera.

Next was to install some better D3S bulbs when swapping the headlight out.

One of the parking sensors needed repainted as the paint had come off along with the primer.

I also fitted a DPF warning LED so the Mrs will be quickly alerted if the car is doing a regen.

  clock change
Posted by: niteram - 29:th-Oct-2019, 20:07:45 - Forum: Electrical - Replies (1)

I know this sounds daft, but I cant change the time on either of my 2 astra js
more to the point, when I change the clocks, they go back to the old time (BST) after about 5 mins of driving

I changed the time on my tourer, drove around the corrner, turned off to go in shops, started up and drove away, clock was correct, 5 mins later I looked at clock and it suddenly had gained the hour.

my daughter had the same with her J
mine has Navi600, hers CD400

we have had both cars a few years and changed clocks before without hassel in past

any ideas??

  ASTRA J HEADUNIT ISSUE
Posted by: AstraJ_OwnerSK - 29:th-Oct-2019, 02:26:12 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (1)

I have a aftermarket head unit installed never had a issue for 2 years(was pre installed before purchase), its a Driveaudio Premium V2 with a cd400 stereo unit. Today I had installed some canbus led light bulbs, kept getting errors so have removed them since. I didn't realise until I needed to use my headlight that every time I turned my headlights on the rear camera would come on but says on screen no signal (camera works as should in reverse gear). I've disconnected the battery for about 15mintes but that didn't fix the problem. I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestion to help fix this, maybe a fuse or relay but don't know where to start.
Thank you for any helpful advice.

  Astra/Meriva hubs for new alloys
Posted by: hooper - 24:th-Oct-2019, 23:06:58 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (3)

Hello
A friend of mine has donated to me a set of mint condition 18in Vauxhall alloys. The only issue is they are off a 2013 Meriva and have 5x110 pcd.
My 2013 Astra 2.0 cdti has a pcd of 5x115.
I love the wheels and would like to use them.
Can I change out the hubs on my Astra for Meriva hubs? I figured this would be cheaper than a set of alloys.
Thanks

hi all
this may sound a bit dumb but I keep putting up threads and it seems like I not getting any replys or after a day or two I cant find
the thread, but I can still see every one else threads.
and I have sent rusty2009 messages and still not getting any reply.
so if any one can tell me why this is happening I would be most grateful.

p.s  and I have paid my £5 subs.

Hi Folks.

Just bought myself a 2012 1.7 cdti SE sports tourer.. loving it so far. I've always had Vauxhall's going back to mk2 Cavaliers and owned Zafira's for the last 12 years. 

Got a bit of water in the boot, looks like it's coming from the tailgate so I'm looking for some hints.
