    A couple of months since I was last here. Still don't like the new layout, but that's another story. I've got a July 06 Vectra with the Z22YH direct injection engine, 49,000 miles with a full VX service history. For quite a while I had an intermittent clatter on start up. Been in the garage...

    If you've got auto wipers then the sensor should detect any open electric windows and close them automatically if it rains (providing the car is locked). Not the first time I've seen mention of Vx Signum and Vectra-C windows opening by themselves without the assistance of the remote fob.

    A scrappy one may also be faulty. You can pick new ones up from Vx for around ÂŁ10, or slightly cheaper on ebay.

    You're welcome. Glad you got is sorted.

    Have you checked the expansion tank under the bonnet is still full?

    Providing the ignition and stereo are switched on (and the coding procedure started) then yes. If however you turn off the stereo or ignition before the wait period is up, it defaults back to the start and you have to wait the full 20 mins (or however long depending on the * SAFE message) once...

    Sorry, when I said "You then have to wait 20 mins for " 10 - - - - " to appear." I actually meant "7 - - - - to appear" (or however many attempts are left)

    I think the car/spanner light to indicate water in the fuel filter is for the newer Fiat/Vx engines (ie, the CDTi ones). For your model it is just for engine electronics, auto box (if fitted) and immobiliser (engne won't start and light flashes on and off).

    Other people besides Vx have Tech2.
  10. Car Audio / Electrical / Security / Diagnostic Rel
    Can't seem to get the stupid search function to work on here. Had to resort to googling it instead to find an old post of mine. 7 safe means that you have a maximum of 7 attempts left in which to enter the correct security code. You also have a waiting period between attempting to re-enter the...

    You have to wait longer than 2 mins if it's displaying 7safe.

    http://www.puravent.co.uk/filters/display_filter.php?id=370&part=M2177 Buy the replacement filter elsewhere though as it will be cheaper than one from puravent.

    You need to get it enabled by someone who has a Tech2 code reader.

    If only people would RTFM. The service reminder is indicated by the word InSP in the odometer display.
  15. Large Vauxhalls
    Same procedure as the earlier Vectra-C - which I imagine does get a mention in the Haynes manual.
  16. Large Vauxhalls
    Even if you could get hold of a 2nd hand keyfob, once programmed to a car, it can't be reprogrammed to another car.

    2 years? Your car should be filled with 10 yr life antifreeze from the factory. No need to change it yet unless you've had to change the water pump or radiator. As for the correct stuff, buy it from Vauxhall. It's no more expensive than anywhere else (like a lot of their service items) and...

    On Vauxhall's the light will only come on at around 4 deg C or below. Mind you, it should be coming on in this weather. The glowplugs must be working though, otherwise she wouldn't start.
  19. Car Audio / Electrical / Security / Diagnostic Rel
    And the make/model of car is?
  20. Small/Medium Vauxhall Cars Area
    Pretty sure they stay on until the engine has started. However it doesn't really matter as long as they do go out.
