Can You Add Front Fogs to an Astra J?
My 2011 1.7 CDTI Astra J does not have front fog lights, just the turn signals where the fogs would be. So can you upgrade and add front fogs to the Astra J?

Astra Issues – Faulty thermostat?
So, my Astra A16 LET 1.6 Turbo recently sprung a leak as the thermostat housing had split.
Replaced the thermostat and housing and the 2 temperature sensors (one in the housing and 1 on the radiator), which fixed the leak. However, the fan is still constantly on maximum all the time, coolant level low message appearing (I think the radiator is empty as the reservoir is filled up and doesn’t drop), and the coolant temp won’t get over 75C using an OBD reader. 

No codes are present with the OB

Hello guys.

I am sorry if someone already questioned about this. So i own Astra J 1.6 turbo SIDI 170hp with code A16XHT. I wonder if the "updated engine A16SHT with 200 hp is the same , but only different software. I talked with a guy in the local dealership and he told me it's just software " these extra 30hp" . Sooo, can somebody give more info about this .

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.

Astra GTE - Mk2 - Anyone selling one or know of one?
Been a childhood dream of mine, and I think I now need to fulfil it.

I've looked at a few online over the last couple of years and anything that remotely floats my boat is way over priced or needs a complete "Car SOS" style rebuild and is just a rot box.

I dont mind putting in some cosmetic work, but its got to be a totally standard example.

So if anyone knows of anyone selling a Mk2 Astra GTE, please let me know.

Im sick of looking at other peoples cars, need to have my own now.

Changing Rear Shock Absorbers. Astra-J Hatch. Replace or reuse bottom bolts?
Hi folks,

I'm about to change the rear shocks on my car, and according to the info on the Vauxhall workshop manuals website the bottom bolt that connects the shock to the suspension arm should not be reused, but a new one fitted.

The torque settings given are to tighten initially to 150 Nm, and then tighten a further 65 degrees. This suggests to me that it's a stretch bolt. Am I correct?

In all the years I've replaced shock absorbers on various Vauxhall cars, this is the first time I've

She looks sporty but it’s neither a sports car nor was it ever driven that way.

Astra J SRI 13 Plate - Radiator Fan
Good evening guys, 

looking to see if anyone can help with a problem i have with my 13 plate Astra J SRI, 

For a while the radiator fan was staying on (common issue i know), i didnt do anything about it until recently, 

I have replaced the thermostat and housing, the temperature sensor, checked that all the fuses are intact, removed the sensor from the air filter and still nothing from the fan, 

I kept getting the message "coolant level low - add Coolant" i replaced the expansion tan
