I have a 2012 astra gtc with 27000 miles. My service light is on however i do not need one as it has just been serviced however when the light is on my start stop wont work it just doesn't do it and my wipers will only work on the last highest settings thats it (my back one works fine) however the light in the past has turned off for the odd minute or 2 and everything works fine then but it comes back and they don't work again. I was wondering if anyone knew a solution or what the problem is. Th

Hi guys..... sorry if this as been asked but I have searched but to no avail.

I have a gtc 2.0 cdti Sri with start / stop..... my question is =

Is it more economical to use the start stop or just let the engine tick over ? I know it has been designed to have start / stop but surely it isn't very good for the engine mounts / glow plugs and everything else really keep stopping and starting ..... I know it may sound a bunch of stupid questions but it's more curiosity

Thanks in advance

As above, on an Astra-J 2.0 CDTI, what would cause the stop/start to not work? I have seen 3 now, which have stop/start but it hasnt worked on the test drive, evernthough the car is warm and performs as it should?

Thanks.

Hi Just broken down my Astra J 2.0 Cdti stopped at lights then would not start. It turns over and seems to catch but then turns over more quickly but will not run.

Hi guys, has anyone fitted a push button start in an Astra J? Pros/cons etc. 

Hi Guys if anyone has a noise on cold start up that's sounds similar to a failing water pump but disappears after 10 seconds it could be the auxilary belt tensioner as I just replaced my belt and tensioner yesterday and what a difference. £70 fix so not too expensive just thought I would give everyone a wee heads up and the best way to confirm this is remove the auxilary belt and do a cold start and see if the noise has disappeared as well as feel for play in the pulleys as well.

Recently I got my J back on the road after it had been stood for a year without being started much.
The car had been running fairly well for the first week or so so I decided I was gonna treat it to a full service, replace the thermostat (had the "service vehicle soon" message for some time), coil pack, get some new floor mats and take care of the minor advisories on the MOT.
For a week I noticed that the car was starting to get very sluggish turning over, but it always fired up. Eventually on
