1.6 CDTI engine problems ?
Hi, another newbie to the forum!!  I have a Astra J 1.6 CDTI Sports Tourer 2014 bought second hand with 28K on clock. Now had it for several months and am very pleased with it.  It is the first diesel engined car I've had (but about the 6th Astra).

Has anyone had problems with this engine?  I understand it has been continued in the K so I assume its not too bad!!

Cheers

1.6 Petrol loud ticking on cold
Hi all,

Bought a new (for me) 2014 GTC in Feb and love it!

However, I've noticed that on cold the engine ticks for around 15-30 seconds on cold, then dies down but can still be faintly heard. When cold it's so loud I can hear it from inside the cabin with all the windows shut.

I've got a 2-year warranty so have taken it back and Vauxhall told me that it's normal for the model? I've spoken to an independent mechanic and he's convinced it's tappits even though I've been told they're hydra

1.6 cdti power loss
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

oil leak 1.6 petrol
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?

2014 Astra 1.6 Elite - No DAB / Bluetooth - Can I add?
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).
