Hi all looking for advice

My Astra has recently started having overheating problems, Its had a new Thermostat and the waterpump has been removed and checked and is functioning correctly but it still seems to overheat, It'll sit happily on 90 during idle but after 3-5 minutes of driving it'll overheat and creep upto the 110-130 mark and advise the engine has overheated and to idle the engine. I was wondering if anyone else has had an issue like this and what my next steps should be?

Hi everyone,

Going to take the plunge for my first remap on a car.

Wanted to stick to either Rabbid or Courtney remap.

Spoke to them all and have decided to go for a Rabbid tune (now the tuning society).

They have outsources thier software to many companies.

WG in Kent and Wayside in Coventry.

Seems as Wayside is nearest I have decided to go with them! (Chirs)

£349 in total if anyone wants to get it done.

Just wondering if anyone has every had it done on the A20 DTH on th

Hey guys, I am a new user of a used Astra 1.7 CDTI 2011 and I've been told by some people around that this car is very sensitive to fuel quality.
Now the problem is that in my country fuel quality is the worst, there's absolutely no assurance of the quality no matter where you try to get the fuel around here, and chances are that the kind of diesel we have is just slightly better than the one your country uses only for agricultural vehicles.
Is there anything I can do to make it less of a prob

Hi everyone,

Car overheated on Saturday, checked coolant level and nothing remaining in reservoir. Topped it up and made it home. Not easy to see where the leak is coming from, I think it may be the water pump, which I believe is a known issue on these cars. 

Taking it to a garage tomorrow. If is a water pump, what work would usually be completed additional to the pump replacement. Timing belt? Tensioners? 

Whats a reasonable price for water replacement?

Cheers

Have the 'Service Soon' message popping up intermittent on my Astra J 2001 2.0 Diesel, and the fault codes read are:

P0087 - Fuel Rail - Too Low Pressure - Unrecognised State
P0399 - Cylinder 1 Pressure Sensor Circuit - Malfunction - Faulty Function

The car  seems to drive OK, no general loss in power but am noticing when changing gears the engine revs seem to overun if the gas is less off when the clutch is down.  i.e. if chaning at 3,000 rev, and i put the clutch down and let off the ga

Hi
I bought a 13 reg Astra J  1.7 diesel 3 years ago & I need a new battery..
Is it a straight swap in & out or are there any nuances I need to know before I change? Alarm/door lock/anti theft etc etc

I dont know if my car has a stop start system because it never worked but would not surprise me if it had it?
Is there any way of know whether a car has stop/start system or not


cheers

Does anyone know what the part number is for the Oil Cooler on an Astra J 1.4T (2013) as mine has a bad leak

Hi, I have an astra j 2013 1.7 cdti 110 hp A17DTE and as soon as the weather has cooled it shows me that the DPF is full and to continue driving. What could be the reasons why the car makes so many regenerations if for example today I drove 1000 km on the highway and everything was ok and tomorrow morning when I start the car I get a warning with DPF on board. Any opinion is highly appreciated.

I have a 1.4 na with 40k on the clock, today on the way home it was  making this whirring type sound at a standstill , with a slight rev the sound will go, the sound seems to be coming from the drivers side of the engine bay, belt seems fine, steering is fine. Any ideas?

Hi,

Is this kit the correct one for the J 1.7?
