Is it normal that it uses a lot more fuel because it's new? it's doing 9liter per 100km (manual says it should do 6,2)
for comparisom, my old focus mk1 1.6 used just 7.8l/100km

On so my 1.3 eco tech seems to be drinking diesel lately.

I remember when i could do 70-85 miles with the needle moving after filling up

Yet this pic moved from full to that line and only done 66miles.

As you see the car has done a lot of miles and in a year i have done 20,000.
Car had a service back in October but is there something more i need to do or ch

I have just posted this in a posting on the forum but thought it might be useful to stick it here too:

A year or so ago, a friend introduced me to http://www.fuelly.com which is free to join. It tracks your mpg to put it simple. Basically when you fill up, on your receipt will be how much you spent, price per litre and how many litres you filled up with. Each time you fill up, reset your trip meter and go to the fuelly website with how much you filled up with etc and it works out your fuel

I filled the car up with diesel and drove to my friends house to do the oil change. After that we attempted the fuel filter by turning the drain screw. However, the diesel just kept on coming out and at just over 2 litres was lost we tightened it back up in the hope some knows why it didn't stop?
I was of the understanding that just the fuel out of the filter housing would come out.
Can anyone please help?

This is the 'How to' guide showing you how to change your diesel fuel filter. My 'J' Astra is the 2010 1.7cdti and as far as I know, the filter is the same size and location for the 1.3, 1.7 and 2.0 models.

Firstly, always buy a branded filter such as Fram or Mann. I bought the Mann filter from Euro car parts which included two new seals which you will need and it cost me £18.30.

Job time - Estimated 30-45 mins

You will need the following tools:

Jack (I used my trolley jack and axle stands

So after vauxhall having my car for a number of days.
My fuel tank is a baffle less tank.

Anyone know why? As i can hear the fuel and is f*****g annoying.

Hi guys, all of a sudden I've noticed my fuel range dropping a lot.
For instance, yesterday it said 480 miles drove 30 mile now says 425 and I'm driving sensibly.
Noticed first gear seems sluggish with hesitation then bouncing but other gears work fine.
Wondering if egr is blocked.
I've cleaned it on my old vecci which was easy also cleaned the inlet manifold and eventually cleaned the swirl flaps.
Egr easy to do on the 1.7cdti? Anything else I can try?

Just rang dealers to check if I had any recalls outstanding.

They said I had a few but only said the fuel filler cap.

I messaged a couple of people who work at dealerships to find out more.

They drill a hole put a wax in then a bung to stop rust between the pipe and body.

Recently a fuel cleaner was recommended on here and I'm unable to find the thread on here now but I think it was Rusty that recommended the cleaner. .
