    Hello! I'd appreciate the forum's advice on some engine problems I'm having with my Astra. It's a 2004 UK car with the 1.6 engine (I presume either X16XE or XEL) and has around 92,000 miles. I've inherited it from a family member who gave up on it because of these problems. Long post, but...

    Hi all, (2020 Astra Business Edition) I was hoping I could get some help with an issue I've faced the last couple of days. 5 days ago, my clutch was not registering when depressed so the car would not start - AA came out, deemed it a simple fix and reset the battery. Although the car was...

    Thought it was time I resulted to those that know... Developed a Popping noise when I'm on the clutch bite at junctions and setting off.

    Hello folks, Got a strange issue here and wondering if anyone has experienced the same. Picked up an Astra H 2006 at auction and it had absolutely no brakes at all. The rear pipes were crumbling as usual. I have replaced both rear brake pipes and hoses. When I went to bleed the system there is...

    Looking for someone to replace the CIM unit on my 08 Astra or the next cheapest option to fix the horn to pass the MOT. It's in the Reading area but I can't drive it because the MOT has run out. Typical signs, the horn didn't work when my lights were on and now only turns the radio volume up. I...

    Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. My front calipers are rattling like mad. I've replaced and relubed the slider pins, replaced the pad clips and everything else I could but they still do it. It seems like there's too much play in the sliders. Now, someone has...

    Hi all! I recently bought a 2.2 DTI Astra G Cabrio. The car is in non-running condition, and based on the information the seller got from a mechanic, it's most likely because of the Injector Pump, but it did not give an error code. I have a spare 2.2 DTI Vectra C engine, but I never changed an...

    I have a slight problem. When the car is idling the engine runs a bit rough and shakes which in turn shakes the car a bit aswell. This stops when I push my foot on the brake could this be due to brake servo? The vacuum pipes on the top of the engine have been checked and they are clean. It sure...

    I was distracted and did the bolt up on top of the fuel filter housing with my impact and it snapped. Any idea what size the bolt is and if i can rethread the filter housing? Or even a temporary fix as car starts but pulls air and cuts out. I was thinking cable tie the housing to seal it as I...

    Can't link the original thread even though it's on this site? Sorry folks. First post and I'm only passing through for this special issue. Rather than reviving a old thread I thought I'd post some problems my friend has had re this for background. The spin on this is that my (elderly) friend...

    Hi, new to the forum. I’ve been trying to find the solution to this issue for ages and I’m hoping someone could offer some advice. So, at around 1500 rpm I get this “pffpff” sound if I let off the accelerator with a sort of clunking sound. It sounds like it’s the turbo and from researching it...

    my 2008 Astra elite gear linkage needed changeing. Removed and replaced the ball joints etc. but I can’t set up the gears. The locking pin on the gearbox selector housing won’t budge. Does the gearbox need to be in a specific gear? I’ve got it in neutral and I’m out of ideas. Anyone had this...

    Hi folks, 2010 Astra Z14XEP engine chain Any idea what this noise is. Even in neutral when you press the accelerator there’s a “whoooing” noise. Very noticeable in 1st, 2nd, 3rd. Not as noticeable at higher speeds but it is there. I have tried removing the drive belt to eliminate the pulleys...

    My speedo has stopped working. I juggled the wiring to the hub and it came back for a while but has stopped again. I think that one of the two wires from the hub to the loom is fractured. As I can't repair the break my question is - in the image of a replacement hub unit, is it possible to pull...
