    I reaslise that the vvti is continuously working but at approx 4200 rpm the engine tone changes and it pulls harder which is a characteristic of the vvti. My question is what rpm should it "kick in" at or when does yours kick in at. I have read that it kicks in at 3k/3.5k rpm on various web...

    From what I've heard and concluded, if there wiring for the clutch switch is there you're probably in luck. I have a 58 astra design petrol and clutch switch is there waiting. I'm going to get the stalk, get it enabled on opcom and I'm 99% it'll work. It's been done hundreds of times.

    Thanks guys. Will stop worrying now!

    Cheers! I've never noticed it before - the way it takes about three seconds or so.

    Thanks for your reply. Yes hopefully you are right. Sounds normal if yours has done it for all that time. Strange one though.

    Hi all, I have a 2008 58 plate Astra Z18ZER with 36k. I have notice that after starting, the lights are slightly dim and wipers a little slow for just a few seconds then it all brightens/speeds up etc. It does it every time the car is started whether it's hot or cold. Battery indicator is green...

    I've had my 2009 1.8 Astra design for two months now and I am very pleased with it. I have read the many threads about retrofitting cruise so I have got myself a stalk and verified the clutch switch is present so I am offering beer tokens to anyone in the Preston/Blackpool area who can enable...

    Thanks for the replies. Now you mention it my primastar vans wipers gp onto intermittent from slow when stopped at say a set of lights. Hmm weird!
  9. Small/Medium Vauxhall Cars Area
    Yeah true. Strange one really.

    As the title says.... Just got a 58 plate Astra design with auto wipers. I was playing last night and I couldnt get the high speed on the wipers to work, but tonight I noticed they will work on high if the drivers door is fully closed. As soon as you open the door they slow down. I assume this...

    HI all, Not been around for a while, used to be a fully paid up member, still got my VxON keyring on my keys, but I am back and have another Vauxhall. Just bought a mint 58 plate Astra 1.8vvt Design with 31k on it. REALLY pleased with it. I am going to post a query in the relavant section...

    Defo agree with getting it changed. Had mine done (2003 1.6 8v) last year at 26k/4years old just ot be safe. Ironically the belt looked ok but looks can be deceiving. Get the waterpump changed too. The kit includes a belt, tensioner and any related pulleys iirc but obviously not a waterpump...

    Anyone know if paprerclip test works on rbrstr's car?
  16. Small/Medium Vauxhall Cars Area
    On Meriva............ Found it, next to petrol tank. Got a new one, and the tool in Vx Dealership who bagged everything up for me allowed the box with the filter in to come undone. I discovered a black plastic clip in the bottom of the bag which turns out to be for the fuel filter. Thing is...

    You don't have to leave us! Plenty of non Vx owners here, most come on for a laugh and a nose about to see whats going on. Even if I decide i've had enough of Vx, I will still frequent this site. Everybodys welcome here, unless they are spammers or complete and utter tools that is. So stay...

    is the belt slipping?
  19. Small/Medium Vauxhall Cars Area
    I would get the battery/alternator checked beofore condemning it. Is the alternator light on when all the electrics are on? Most places do a free check. Not sure what battery it is, haven't got my car with me else i'd look for you. Ring a Vx dealer and ask them.
