Drive belt or faulty tensioner?
Hi all

Sorry not sure if I have posted this in the wrong section. I've got a real problem with my engine as you can hear in the video attached below.

Now I'm not sure if this could be a bad pulley, bad drive belt or even faulty AC Compressor. As I've learnt the noise stops when I turn my AC off.

Any opinion highly appreciated.

I have a Astra J 1.3 CDTI with engine code: A13DTE

I need to change my glow plugs. How do I find out if my car uses those expensive glow plugs with sensors or not?

Kind regards

Please advise - Z16LET engine (1.6 turbo, 132 kW) - is it a direct or indirect port?
Hello guys,

searching a lot I was not able to find if the Z16LET - 1.6 turbo, 132 kW petrol engine is a direct or an indirect port engine. I suppose that this 180 HP engine that was used in the 2nd gen of Astras H an then in Astras J is an indirect port petrol engine. And I suppose the 200 HP 1.6 turbo petrol engine that came later is already a direct port engine. Can anyone please confirm or specify this? Thank you.

Battery replacement - AGM or regular
My battery is showing signs of needing a change as it is original Vauxhall AGM on my 62plate 1.7 Astra J GTC

My question is the replacement AGM batteries are quite expensive , can I go to regular flooded or will that cause me issues?

Thanks.

astra drl fuse or relays??
I'm completely stuck here with my DRLs.
My DRLs do not work nor do my side lights, so this is making my main dipped beam come on, i can not seem to find the fuse/fuses for these lights only a pair of relays which i thought DRLs did not need but hey oh.

so what is my next move,,, where should i be looking now? i'm not that great with electrics on a car but i would have thought this might have been an easyish fix.

i have nothing on the dash telling me of an error or light/lights not working
