Astra J 1.7 CDTI Tech-Line rear light cluster issue
Hi all,

I hope someone can assist. Is there anyway to completely open up the rear clusters. 

I have an odd issue where my brake light clear section has snapped in both the rear clusters and rattles around within the larger cluster. I have removed both but after removing the group bulbs out the  rear I cannot find how to disassemble the rest. It looks like anti tamper screws have been used.

Not so much an issue but it keeps on knocking on the brake bulbs and causes intermittent errors wh

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

2.0 CDTi Gearstick Centering
Hi guys new to the forum having an issue with my astra I purchased today.

When changing gears when I go from 2nd to 3rd the stick doesn't go back to center it stays over to the left and also 6th to 4th I have to manually pull it over.

Has anyone else had this issue? When in gear the car is perfect.

While in neutral if I move stick left between 1str and 2nd the stick just stays there.

Astra J Sports Tourer SRI 2.0 CDTI
Got some shiny new shoes for my car.

Irmscher Evostar 20" 8.5J ET40 235/35. They came with 245/40 which looked good, but they were rubbing and to be fair falling apart. Just need to get the wheels aligned now. 

I haven't done many other mods. I've changed the DRL to LED and changed some of the internal bulbs to a cyan colour, which look great with the red colour of the car.

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

Astra SRi CDTI VX Line - CD400 Upgrade options
First post guys!

I’m picking up my Astra J on Tuesday, it comes with standard CD400 with no Bluetooth, so am trying to think of options. I listen to Spotify on my phone most days and am used to a sat nav. I have a couple of questions:

1) With the CD400, what is the easiest way to listen to Spotify while still being able to take calls on either a Bluetooth earpiece or through the CD400?

2) Can you upgrade the display/screen to a colour one? I have seen options about Navi950 being the bes
