2013 Astra j 2.0 cdti 165
Hi all thanks for having me on here....

I currently have a 2013 63plate astra sports tourer 2.0 cdti auto 165 it's coming up to 6 years old in December 2019 and so many people have told me different intervals for the cambelt.

I have only covered 31000 miles I'm getting told 6 years or 100000 miles and some garages say 10 years or 100000 miles.

If anyone can clear this up for me please oh and also do the water pumps run off the cambelt still or has this now been changed on these engines.

2.0 CDTi SVS/Limp mode :(
Hello all

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

2014 Astra 2.0L 165 HP F40 gearbox quantity of oil??
  • Hi all,
I have searched around on so many forums now and unable to find a definitive answer as I have heard rumours of vauxhall overfilling the F40 gearbox so I have heard it holds 2.4L, 2.6L, 1.9L, I dont have a clue how much is in thereor whether should be putting in less than what I get out because that what I have seen on a few forums. Would really appreciate some guidance on this!! All I do know is I will be using Redline 75W-85 GL04 oil for it... but how much of it??? ??

Is Dexos 2 oil necessary
One of our local garages has a reputation as the safest MOT inspection garage in town and I am reluctant to change it. However they do not use Dexos 2, they use C3 fully synthetic.
I only do 10,000 per year these days but I am happy to do an annual oil change is enough for me, although the service manual says that a Dexos 2 service interval is 2 years.

To confuse things further the local Vauxhall dealer service centre recommend a yearly, not 2 yearly, service even for Dexos 2, and also info

My 2011 Astra J 2.0 CDTI SRI
Hi everyone, my name is Alwyn and I live in Brierley Hill (Dudley).

This is my 2011 Astra 2.0 CDTI SRI in Waterworld Blue.

I have had my car since 2016 and plan on keeping it until it dies really.

I have only really recently started doing some mods to it but have always serviced it myself.

P0128 2 weeks after replacing temp sensor
Hi

I have a 14-plate 1.6 Astra Auto.

Recently got the "AC Off Due To High Engine Temp" warning, and an OBD II dongle said it was a P0128.  At the same time the temp gauge went to minimum.  Checked under the bonnet and the fan wasn't running even though we watched the coolant temp run up past 90C.

I'm no mechanic, but my local independent garage swapped out the engine temp sensor, topped up the coolant, cleared down the error code, and everything was back to normal.  Indeed after driving
