  Lacking Power - What can I check
Posted by: everson38 - 8:th-Jul-2019, 23:30:50 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (3)

Hey guys

I have a 2013 GTC 1.7 Astra. I feel that my car is lacking power but only sometimes. When at lower revs / coming to a stop it feels a bit lungy and Jerky. Just wondering 8f there are anythings I can check / do to maybe help with this?

Thanks.

  The new model astra: my time with astra has ended
Posted by: umognog - 3:rd-Jul-2019, 15:54:49 - Forum: Medium cars Astra, Cascada, Vectra, Monaro & Insignia - Replies (9)

Being in the market for another car, I read with interest that PSA has announced an engine & tech refresh to the Astra.

I love my J, it's an amazing workhorse.

So I was very, very disappointed to read the engine options from PSA:

Petrol - 1.2 & 1.4, all 3 cylinder options
Diesel: 1.5 unspecified cylinders.

Well. I was looking at a petrol, as it's a city short journey runner, but I despise the 3 cylinder. Had one before and never, ever again! Bugger that.

Didn't think I would say this, but when the J gets scrapped in the future, it's by by Vauxhall & thanks for 25 years of driving.

Hi there,

I've just got an Astra SRI 2012, hoping to start doing some small modifications to it to make it look nicer

Playing with an android head unit at the moment, struggling to get the buttons working on the CD400 so I guess I have lots fo reading to do here to find out what is wrong.

Thanks everyone!


  CD400 buttons not working Android head unit install
Posted by: mephisto - 2:nd-Jul-2019, 23:03:34 - Forum: ICE - Replies (4)

Hi guys,

I've got a android head unit installed on my Astra SRI 2012 and I cannot make the buttons from the CD400 work. I've got a shop in SE london to do the installation, but it was their first android head unit like that installed on an Astra so I think they missed something.

My unit is similar to the RV5754 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32811421...st=ae803_5 and everything else seems to work fine, except the buttons on the panel.

I researched a bit and it seems there is a plug with a single brown wire that should be plugged into a cable and may be the cable on the back of the CD400 that is the closet to the driver's side. I'm just trying to understand better what actually needs to be plugged where, so I'm collecting bits that I've read here and there. Is this cable used previously used for the old screen connecting it to the CD400?

Any advice is much appreciated!


  2.0 CDTi SVS/Limp mode :(
Posted by: hooper - 2:nd-Jul-2019, 17:41:43 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (8)

Hello all

I recently bought a 2013 2.0 CDTi Elite. 35k on the clock.

On Saturday (hot day) it went into limp mode with the Service Vehicle Soon message. Engine was running at normal temp.

Took it to my local garage yesterday afternoon and they got back to me this afternoon.
They cleared the message and took it for a road test. 
- Car temp went into the red and triggered limp mode again.
- One cooling hoses was red hot, the other stone cold.
They are going to continue looking into it tomorrow as well as send me the error code.

I normally drive the car 40 miles per day on A roads ranging between 40-80mph, mix of eco-driving and fun.
I recently fitted a DPF signal light (as per the guide) and it has come on once in the last 2 weeks and completed the cycle before I got home.

Car came with 6 month dealer warranty but they are refusing to pay for 3rd party repairs/diagnostics. 
The garage is 2 hours away.

Any ideas?

Hi 
2013 Astra J SRI 1.7 diesel 130BHP   80K on clock
Engine noise when clutch 1/4 pressed & 1/4 released.
If car in neutral & clutch pressed 1/4 way down the noise is loudest,
Could it be DMF & if so what the cost approx of fitting?

Car running fine otherwise
