Hi Guys,

Sorry this isn't Astra related, My wife's Corsa has gunk on the oil cap like in the you-tube video below, its not loosing coolant its only driven 3 miles to work and back, i have done an oil and filter change but its still on the cap. 

in the past couple of years its had the cam belt done the head skimmed, as said its not loosing any water from the bottle, 

is this OK? what should i do?

thanks

Hi guy I have a astra 1.6 ctdi sri tourer 2015 and I'm going to change the oil on her but can't seem to see the oil filter anywhere. Am I being stupid or is it hidden out of sight. Any help would be Cheers.

[/list]K  Hi

One of our local garages has a reputation as the safest MOT inspection garage in town and I am reluctant to change it. However they do not use Dexos 2, they use C3 fully synthetic.
I only do 10,000 per year these days but I am happy to do an annual oil change is enough for me, although the service manual says that a Dexos 2 service interval is 2 years.

To confuse things further the local Vauxhall dealer service centre recommend a yearly, not 2 yearly, service even for Dexos 2, and also info

Hi guys is this the correct oil?

TRIPLE QX Fully Synthetic

Hi New to the forum and after a bit of info, just bought a 2014 1.6cdti with a snapped oil pump drive chain, Is this a common problem and any ideas what causes it, looks a bugger of a job, the owner was quoted £1800 at the garage hence selling it spares or repairs. 
any info would be appreciated

Can anybody recommend anywhere in the Leicester area for a oil. And filter change? Bit paranoid as the dexos 2 oil is needed?

Does anyone know what the part number is for the Oil Cooler on an Astra J 1.4T (2013) as mine has a bad leak

We have a 2011/11 Astra J CDTI 160.

Always felt the gears are a bit stiff, is there a way of checking the oil level, or does something else somewhere else need some lubrication?

Comparing to my other cars, both Insignia's with the same engine, the Astra really requires more force on the gearstick to engage, not harsh, but noticably more pressure.

Clutch is fine, we have had to four years and its been the same since day 1.

Thanks.

How much oil do I put in the gearbox after draining old stuff out?

Astra J 2013 1.7
