    This last month since the temp has dropped I’ve been getting a crazy amount of condensation in the inside of the car in the mornings/ afternoons. All windows are covered but it’s prob mostly on the inside of the windscreen. If it’s frozen, once defrosting the water is running down the inside of...

    Hi all, I'm pretty new owner of Astra J 1.6 turbo, have it for almost 4 months. The car is in good condition, just under 50k confirmed miles, but so far it has been more negative feelings than positive ones, mainly due to automatic gearbox work. Facing two issues: 1) Just recently noticed a...

    Hey all. Bought my 2016 GTC 1.4L 140hp Turbo about 18 months ago. Got it remapped to 180hp about 12 months ago. The MIL has been coming on for the last four months or so. It comes on, then goes off a few days later, then back on, then back off, etc, etc. Bought a cheap OBD2 reader, and it's...

    So my Astra J 2013 1.4 was making a chirping noise while idling, removing the oil dipstick stopped the sound. After replacing the rocker cover, still made no difference. The actual cause of it was the Crank Pulley Seal. To get to this seal you need to support the engine, remove the left engine...

Seems like its a common issue with my model and its model year and it may be due to a gear linkage. How do I go about solving this? Could I contact Vauxhall...

    My washer fluid hasn’t been working so have diagnosed it to potentially that the pump needs replacing. After pulling back wheel trim I’ve found these two plugs not connected to anything. Anyone know what these are as they may relate to the problem I’m having (Ps. They do not plug into each...

    Hello - first, apologies if this has been covered, or if there is a guide somewhere that I've missed - if so, please just point me in the right direction. I wanted to see if I could get an idea of common faults to look out for with an Astra J 1.7 or 2.0 diesel. Are there any particular things...
