Gran Problema!

Driving home one night, turns corner and discovers traction control light (stability control) has come on (amber). Stops car. Engine management light comes on. Oh dear! Turn car off to try and reset. Will no longer start. Don't get me wrong, it tries! It cranks and turns pistons and shafts but will not actually fire up.

Called GreenFlag, came out and scanned the OBDII. Sanner claimed misfire on cylinder#2 but no other faults detected. So, off to euro car parts I went. Getting a new coil pack and 4x new spark plugs hoping that the problem would go away and that the non-starting was just a self protection mechanism. No such luck. Replaced the coil pack and the spark plugs and tried firing her up. Still no joy, now the worrying starts! Scanned again and cleared the fault code just in case. Still no luck. Now for the diagnostic approach, test everything and try and narrow the field.

Multimeters and OBD scanners out we set to it. All the pins on the coil pack harness read as expected, +3ishV on the spark plug pins plus a ground and +12V. Relays appear to be clicking except relay 3/4 (I can't quite remember which one) does not click on ignition and does not appear to be receiving a switched +12V in order to open the gate. Both relays are listed in the user's manual as "Ignition, fuel system". 

I've sent the ECU away to be tested as that was our first thought (myself and the 70+ years worth of mechanics standing behind me) and appeared to be the most likely cause but no luck, the testers don't have a rig set up for my particular model of ECU and Delco refuse to give them the ECU schema to set one up (YAY FOR CAPITALISM AND PRIVATE COMPANIES). 

In short, I've no idea from here in and neither of the time served mechs know what to do anymore. Have thought it might be immobiliser or possibly the key's transponder but unable to test as yet due to the ecu not being present in the engine bay.  

Any ideas or help would be very useful as well as any guidance on possible ECU swap and the procedures involved in doing such a thing.

Thanks in advance guys, hope somebody else has suffered this issue and their car has lived to see the light of day again! Else... well ***** it it'll have to be a new car!

Cheers!

So had the car back for a couple of weeks now since getting new glow plugs, exhaust manifold and turbo fitted due to DPF and turbo under pressure faults.
While the car had these issues, it was performing a passive regen every 50 miles or so. Since its repair, the passive regens are consistently every 100 - 110 miles. Even if i stop the car during a regen and it fails, it wont carry out the next one for another 100 miles. this is regardless of engine temp/fuel level, which I'm sure I read somewhere form part of the criteria for the car carrying out a regen? Example this morning the car performed and completed a regen while the engine temp was barely off the 50c mark on the gauge, fuel light was also on... 
Regens at this rate would equate to an oil life of 10k as life appears to reduce 1% every regen, does this seem correct?

Also 9 times out of 10 when starting the engine, it sounds like a bag of spanners being thrown around for a few seconds then sounds nomal...

Hi to all,

I have the following issue:
Since the weather turned cold in Germany (2 to -3 dgrees C) my v5754 has developed a problem with remembering saved settings.

It forgets which apps were opened and which tracks were played on the media player. Also it forgets it has a USB drive mounted.

But the worst is that more necessary settings in the orange car settings app don't work anymore (e.g. coming/leaving home lighting). I can change them all I want. Next App start they just remain what they were before the changes.

What I find strange is that everything worked fine until like 10 days ago.

Does anyone of you know how the IceBoxes save their settings? Is it car battery assisted or is there another power source inside the device that helps the unit keep its settings?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi guys,

Someone decided to take my front tow eye cover from my Astra J limited Ed 2015. I cant seem to find the right one on ebay. I am hoping with VX part number I will have better luck.

Or if someone could point me in the direction of a replacement.

Thanks in advance.

I was wondering if anybody had any links for Spare Parts, Im looking for an Electric Water Pump, but can only find one with the main dealer, £380, which even the dealer thought was a bit steep.
Any help would be appreciated

Hi all,

Thought I'd finally register. I have a Astra 2.0 dirty diesel. Had this 3 years now, subtle mods including calipers in red, powder coated factory upgraded 19" in anthracite. Been remapped and terracleaned recently.
