‘Eco’ tab on GTC?
Hi,

My trip computer currently displays all the usual information, however I seem to be missing the 3rd ‘Eco’ tab, is there a way to activate it? I have a 64 plate SRI 2.0 CDTI, I’m pretty sure i’ve seen it on older models? 

Thanks.

Is this wear on the rod and crank bearings normal?
Given that I have a 2.0CDTI engine (A20DTH) and that last winter I had the low oil pressure light pop up for a second or so when starting the engine in the morning, I thought I should replace the O ring on the oil pickup from the sump. 

After taking the sump off and removing the O ring I did notice that it was stiff and brittle and I replaced it. Since the O ring was so brittle I decided to take a couple of bearings off and inspect them and the crank. I've uploaded some images.

Can someone

Would these GTC wheels on my Sedan cause any problems?
Hey everyone.

I own a 2015 Opel Astra Sedan (1.6 CDTi 136PS)

I found 8.5x20 wheels from a wrecked Astra J GTC. I wanna change my OEM 7x17s (225/50 R17) to those.

They both have same bolt patterns (5x115)

Would that change cause any issues (to speedometer, ABS, traction control etc)? Because general fact is more than +3% increase  is not recommended and It's about +6.9% change to the tire size.

But they're also Astra wheels so I'm confused about what should I do.

I'm thinking to

OBD II scanner - what works on the Astra ?
I'm looking for a OBD2 scanner to find and delete engine management (or service vehicle soon) codes on my Astra.
I have so far tried the Autophix OM 123. It connected with my car ok, but failed to read a service vehicle soon fault displaying on my dash.
Can anyone recommend something that works for them, please ?

Need usb connection or din 1 on Astra J Elite
I am replacing my old Astra G with an Astra J Mk 6 , I am selecting from the local VX dealer, currently I am looking at reg DG15 JWO, which is an Elite spec.


I replaced the ICE system in the old Astra G with a single Din Kenwood KDC 3054U Radio/CD player with a USB socket.
It is the USB facility which I use the most for playing my music from a memory stick, but I understand from the sales dept that the Astra J does not have a USB socket incorporated in the entertainment centre.

Twin exhausts (VXR style) on a GTC SRi
I've had a look but I cannot find this info on the forum.

I'm on my second GTC, I really like the 2.0 diesel model, does everything I need. Went to buy a new one a couple of months ago and was gutted that they don't make the 2.0 diesel any more. So I managed to find an 18 month old one with 7K miles on the clock, in my required yellow colour. Result!

Now to the question:

How do I fit twin rear exhausts, like the VXR? What is required, new rear lower panel, etc?

Anyone done this?

Jolt when releasing brake on autobox
Hi, I have a 2012 Astra Elite 2.0 CDTI auto which I've had for a month.

When releasing the brake after holding at traffic lights or stop start traffic etc, the car jumps forward as if it is late in engaging drive again.

It seems to disengage drive slightly when held in D (I notice a slight change in revs and less pressure on the car to move forward), and when releasing the brake to pull away, there's a real jolt as it takes up drive, before I press on the accelerator. If I notice a slight

Dash cam on Android unit
Hi, I'm a noob here, I'm picking up a 2012 Astra Elite on Saturday.  I've been reading a lot about replacing the CD400 with Android head units, which sounds good to me as I'd like Bluetooth and DAB.  I've been given a dashcam recently (Nextbase Duo HD) but I've seen that you can add cameras to the Android units.  Is this as good as having a separate dashcam, and can you also use the rear camera as a reversing camera?  Thanks!

TPMS Sensors on wheels but not on car
Hi all,

Last night I purchased some new wheels for my car, and I suspect they may have TPMS sensors fitted, but my car doesn't have TPMS.

I have a couple of questions:

  1. Can I still use these wheels with the sensors installed? 
  2. Is it possible to replace the sensors with normal valves?
