Hi all, going to order all my stuff for servicing the car. Looking at fuel and oil filters and bosch and mann are the more expensive ones on the market. I dont mind paying it but wondered whats the difference between them and a cheaper brand? Are they going to make my car run better than a different brand? Or is it just the brand name im paying for?
Thanks guys

Hi!

I've an Astra J Sports Tourer 1.7CDTI and i've a little question about the fuel gauge indicator.

When I make a corner I notice the fuel gauge indicator moves a little but when it gets straight the gauge doesn't move to the previous position, like i've lost fuel.

It's common happening this?

Regards!

So when my car had Turbo issue's the dealership did a software update to the ECU.

This update is related to the DPF 

Quote:It adjusts the parameters for the dpf temperature sensors to improve dpf performance and avoid overloading dpf, eml lights and in worst cases engine stalling.

it's a software weakness that only effects astra j, cascada and zafira tourers up to model year MY13.5. The update will just adjust the software weakness that is present.

At first I didn't notice

I have a 2012 Vauxhall Astra MK VI (J) 2.0 CDTI SRI which i bought over a year ago and after owning it 3 months the High pressure diesel pump leaked and had to be replaced which i was fortunate with as it was under warranty. Fast forward to now, i have the car in for a service and it is now leaking AGAIN which i will have to pay out of my own pocket this time.

Did any body face problem in the fuel pump or canister before???

I've got a 1.3 CDTI and the fuel consumption seems really quite bad to me? The car is completely standard atm, yet out of half a tank I'm only getting 150-160 miles? I haven't filled it up yet, and I don't really do it unless I need to, but I can't see why it's so bad. The car has FSH and was serviced 11 months ago. Any ideas?

Hello guys.
I am brand new to forum today so sorry if making mistakes.

I have vauxhall astra gtc and want to change the filter buy worry about a few things.

PROCESS:
1) Undo the bleed screw and drain out fuel
2) Remove filter cap using 36mm socket
3) Change filter and seal
4) Screw all back together.

Where I need help is:

1) Are you meant to have minimal diesel in your tank when doing this? Does the drain screw drain out the whole tank or just what's in the filter?

2) Starting the car - do

I have a fuel sensor with a negative value...how can I find witch sensor it is?

I have a 2015 1.6 cdti 136 Astra GTC, I’m trying to locate the fuel rail sensor but cannot seem to find it. Could anyone point it out for me please?

Hi guys I have a 1.7cdti ecoflex, occasionally rough idle, got told maybe injectors but the main question is I've spent £230 and only got 1000miles out of it, is that normal for a vauxhall? Could it be the injectors ?

I do drive mixed and mpg averages goes from 40-45mpg but surely this don't add up right.

Any advice/help would be appreciated
