Welcome back to the VXOC FORUM.
Sorry for our lack of support over the last year but MYBB is back and so are we.
Let's get the forum buzzing again... (March 25, 2022)x
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
