Here's my car, a 2014 Astra Elite Tourer 2.0CDTI. I only got her in October last year and to date she has covered just over 18K.

Since joining this site I've carried out a few small mods...

I was speaking to a workmate a while back who'd been telling me that his Insignia engine had seized. He said he was told something had blocked the flow of oil in the engine. Said it had just been serviced. I think it was an 09 or 59 plate.
If you look on line, there are a few stories of Insignias with the 2.0 cdti engine that have shown a low oil pressure warning before seizing.
There are even one or two Insignias for sale on various sites needing new engines, that look otherwise in good order

Hi all,

Whats the official, and also recommended Cambelt Change Interval on an Astra-J 2011, 2.0 CDTi?

When I bought the car, I was told 8 Years or 80k, im now hearing it could be 100k or 6 years?

Can you guys please advise as 3 Vauxhall garages have told me different things.

Thanks,
G.

It quickly became apparent that the Vectra-C hatchback and the Yaris hatchback where not cutting the mustard for this beast.

Therefore I decided that we needed to buy one of these:

On going to view a Passat estate, I spotted this well priced Astra Sports Tourer and quickly decided

Hi was wondering if anyone has had the engine out the astra as long story short I need a new clutch and water pump but I know it is a sub frame off job for gearbox removal but was thinking of just lifting out the engine and doing the clutch and timing belt and water pump etc that way. Was just to see if anyone has managed to lift it out without removing the sub frame and gearbox.

Just purchased today. Had to laugh the Salesman who i purchased from said the Astra doesnt have service booklets. Just said okay.
Why do they feel the need to lie?

Anyways, i know where it was serviced etc.... going to ring the dealers up and ask if they will give me a new book stamped up. Will have to pay but worth it.

hi guys. im very new to this.
ive installed my fli 12" sub (power cable, remote and ground) but im having some trouble with the 2 channel output conveter going into the head unit. any diagrams or advice would be an absolute lifesaver!!

thanks in advance,
Steve

Hi Guys if anyone has a noise on cold start up that's sounds similar to a failing water pump but disappears after 10 seconds it could be the auxilary belt tensioner as I just replaced my belt and tensioner yesterday and what a difference. £70 fix so not too expensive just thought I would give everyone a wee heads up and the best way to confirm this is remove the auxilary belt and do a cold start and see if the noise has disappeared as well as feel for play in the pulleys as well.

Fairly sure i might need a new Alternator (from a google search, got a voltmeter coming to test)

Does anyone know the GM part code that i need for the Alternator?
