Hi Folks, I've recently bought a 2014 astra 1.6cdti sports tourer techline which is giving me no end of trouble...

When I collected the car from Arnold Clark I didnt think anything of the "Service Vehicle soon" message when putting the key in the ignition as I'd mistakenly assumed that the service warning hadn't been reset following the pre-sale service. Turns out, as I found out the next day, that the DPF had issues as when turned on ignition to set up my phone with the headunit, the dispaly

I'm considering buying an Astra GTC and have found one that ticks most of the boxes, however I have just noticed that it is the 1.4 118 bhp model not the 138 bhp. What is the difference between the two engines? Is it physical or software? Could I still eventually achieve the same power output with tuning mods?

I have a 2015 1.6 cdti 136 Astra GTC, I’m trying to locate the fuel rail sensor but cannot seem to find it. Could anyone point it out for me please?

Hi all,

I have a 2012 Astra J 1.3 CDTi, only had the car for 6 weeks now, when i went to view it it was fine, started fine was in really good condition in and out so decided to purchase it.
The next morning it took ages to start and when it eventually did was a bit chuggy till it warmed up.
I took it too a mechanic who said there were 3 codes which related to glowplug 1,2 and 3, so i had him change all four. After having this done, it was fine for about 10 days now seem to have gone back to

Hi, I've got a couple of Astra J's, both 1.6 petrol
one has started a to leak a little oil - it doesn't seem to drip on the floor but the sump is wet - the drips fall onto the exhaust while driving (I love the smell of burning oil in the morning)

I've taken off the manifold heat shield and the front of block is also damp, so its not the sump gasket or the head gasket.
Is it likely to be the oil pressure switch?
Is this a known fault?

I'm trying to find info on how often this is, but i keep finding conflicting info. Belt changes seem to say anywhere from 60k to 100k and chain changes say 60k/150k and the life of the car. Any idea on the real answer?

Hello All and thank you for reading through this thread.

I have a GTC with the A14NET engine. My turbo is not building enough boost, I've done some testing that I'll list below, please advise on what to do next as I'm running out of ideas.

Using the OBD II and Torque Pro app I'm monitoring Turbo boost and Intake Manifold Pressure.
I have two solenoid valves as I thought this was the problem. 
With the solenoid connected to the wastegate, the car won't boost more than 4-5 PSI triggering a

Hi I'm looking to upgrade my 2009 VAUXHALL ASTRA SXI CDTI to a 2014 VAUXHALL ASTRA ELITE 1.6.

The Elite is a good price (£5500), from a Vauxhall dealership (so comes with all the benefits of buying from them) with a decent mileage (40k).
