Hello, thanks for allowing me to join your forum.
I have a 2013 Astra Tourer Auto 2.0 CDTI SRI which I'm very fond of and have owned since Sept 2016.
It's been faultless in the time I've owned it, and has done about 54000 miles, normally goes very well, and has full Vauxhall history.

Today, however after an 8 mile drive at fairly low speeds it broke down.

I had just negotiated a roundabout when a message came up on the display "Stop Vehicle Immediately Engine Has Overheated"
I pulled 

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

My engine light came on yesterday.
P0171 error code stem to leen.
Is this a common fault?

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

Hi which engine oil do people suggest for a 1.4i petrol? Thanks

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.

Hi Folks,

I have a 2011 Astra 2.0 SRI (Diesel) 42k on the clock.

I have noticed (although its very intermittent; 3 over the last 6 months) that when I have set off from traffic lights and change up from 1st to 2nd; I lose power and the revs increase as if I have depressed the clutch and accelerator at the same time. I have had to pull the car over switch it off and start again and all is back to normal.

Hi folks,

Im after some desperate urgent help please.

Our Astra J 2.0 CDTI 2011, has today developed, what I can only describe as, a distressed squeel/groan from the right hand side of the engine. 

It sounds like its coming from around the alternator/cambelt area. 
In addition, im also hearing a faint distant metallic rattle.

Can you please help? 

Its intermittent but in the last few hours and after about a 10 mile drive its gradually gotten slightly louder and more frequent.
