I have found a couple of useful apps for Android that work wel for the Astra J (I am not the developer and don't know the developer).
OPL DTC Reader works well with an ELM Bluetooth OBDII reader and can read Vauxhall/ Opel specific errors. My normal OBDII reader would not read my Glowplug error on my 2.0 CDTi but this app can and was able to reset the fault code.

The same developer also made OPL DPF Monitor lite that can see how full the particulate filter is and will show if it is doinf a r

Hi all,

Last night i was driving my GTC 1.4t down the dual carriageway after cruising for about 30miles, came up to a roundabout and went to accelerate up to speed... Next to no response from engine, car flashed up saying "Service Vehicle Soon" and takes forever to get up to any speed above 20mph. Dangerous for joining Dual Carriageway on my journey to work so i have had to change my route to compensate. 

Car can get up to speed (had it up to 70mph last night), but just takes an age to get

Hi all hope you’ve all had a great Christmas.

I’m experiencing a strange fault/ feeling with my 1.7 Cdti Astra.
At times it feels like the engine is a bit flat and other times it’s normal, I have also noticed a very slight hesitation under normal acceleration. It sometimes feels like a non turbo engine. No apparent leaks on the pipework and no engine management light on. Has anyone had any experience of similar issues, I’m thinking either the turbo’s on its way out or the boost pressure sensor

• Hi all,
  

I have searched around on so many forums now and unable to find a definitive answer as I have heard rumours of vauxhall overfilling the F40 gearbox so I have heard it holds 2.4L, 2.6L, 1.9L, I dont have a clue how much is in thereor whether should be putting in less than what I get out because that what I have seen on a few forums. Would really appreciate some guidance on this!! All I do know is I will be using Redline 75W-85 GL04 oil for it... but how much of it??? ??

Probably been said somewhere else but I can't seem to find it I have a 63 plate astra j 2.0 cdti and was wondering which version of op-com I need?

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.

Hello 

I get a SvS fault when I start the car. I used a multimeter to measure the resistance of the glow plugs and one was not working, so I am betting the SvS is a faulty glow plug.

Will the electric current overload the 3 working ones, so they will fail soon? So I need to replace all of them asap? And will a car with 3/4 working glow plugs start fine in really cold weather like -15 Celsius?

Regards 
Euro

One of my glow plugs is defect, so they need to be changed. I have a A13DTE engine and there is a step by step guide here on how to change them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onMmIltMokQ&t=637s 

However this is quit intricate process by removing turbo and DSP, one or two comments on this video claims that all glow plugs can be removed by using a glow plug removal socket set and only removing the oil feeder and heatshield.
