astra

Hi. I have a 2011 Astra J 1.4 (Non-turbo) SRi and posted here a few days ago about a wobbly clutch. Was advised it was pedal box and that has been confirmed with a visit to Vauxhall I was just wondering how urgently this would need to be repaired? And if it needs a new box or the current one can...

I recently bough an Astra J 2011 1.4 (non-turbo) SRi and i have noticed that the clutch pedal moves from side to side quite considerably. Having looked online I cant quite narrow down what it could be. It doesn't affect the operation but feels like my foot could slip off it at any moment as it...

Hi - so recently Ive been keeping the fuel range on my dash just out of curiosity. I've filled up on a few occasions and noticed the range drop by about 25 miles within the few first mile or two of driving it. Is this normal? I've never paid much attention to it before, mainly using the gauge to...

Hi everyone! 😊 I'm Michael and have just bought myself a 1.4 turbo Astra J (2011) figured this would be a great place to share some bits with Vauxhall's and know some people! I'm currently a full time student, studying Vehicle maintenance so love a bit of a tinker 😅

Hi guys just a strange question I have a mk5 astra Sri with the xpack and have noticed recently that the rear wiper when I've replaced it has been catching on the high level brake light, what would be the best way to stop this would I need to just swap with another model or what? Thanks

Hi all, I'm kind of hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this as I'm kind of loosing my mind a bit. I picked up an mk5 astra 1.7L diesel in pretty good condition the other day and annoyingly didn't notice this when I bought it. Essentially there seems to be an issue with the...

Hi Guys, I’ve recently bought a 2017 Vauxhall Astra GTC 1.4T Limited Edition and the footwell lighting is very intermittent. When I go over bumps etc it starts flashing and just turns on and off randomly. Has anyone else ever experienced this issue before? I also feel like I’ve had a slight...

Hi I have an old 2006 banger of an astra which I use for half year when I'm in the UK, otherwise it just sits on the drive. The last couple of years the Turbo would cut out randomly when driving, and when to get it working again I just had to turn off the car and on again. But this year I got...

Hi all, so my not so cheap Optimal O/S/F Wheel Bearing started groaning after 18,000. Just put a new one in yesterday and drive shaft hub nut torque should be 250nm but my torque wrench only does 210nm. After cracking it at 210nm I gave it another 1/16th of a turn with a breaker bar? What...

Hi I've had a starting problem with my astra 1.7. When I try to start it, it cranks for a while then turns on. Sometimes it doesn't turn on even if it has been driven for a bit. I think its draining the battery when it cranks because when I jump start it, it start's fine. Anybody know what's...

Recently bought a well kept Astra Energy 1.4 2013, and I'm having with MPG. The claimed from Vauxhall is about 50MPG and about 628 Miles. My average is 24mpg and I can just about reach 250 miles before a full tank is needed. I don't launch it, and drive mostly 60 roads at 5 gear (doesn't have 6...

HI folks. Does anyone know what the P003A fault code means ?? This is the only fault coming up after using an OBD reader. Car appears to be operating normally but as I've only just bought it (and the code was recently cleared before I bought it) I feel I should get it checked out. Any advice...

Hi, wondering if anyone can shed some light on an issue I have with my astra. It's a 15 plate, 340000. For a few weeks now it has been letting out this awful ticking/chugging noise. Took it to my local garage, originally the mechanic thought it was low on oil but it wasn't.. He then said the...

Hi guys, does anyone know the brake bleeding sequence for the astra k? I tried calling up vaxuhall, none of them would give me an answer. Thank you

My Vauxhall Astra starts amazing in the morning and after work, but trying to start it again after 20 min driving ect.. it just keeps turning over until you use easy start, which I know is bad for the engine! I’ve changed the fuel filter and crankshaft sensor , but still not helped, any one else...
