I have a 2010 Astra 2.0cdti. For the last few weeks ive been experiencing this 'Service vehicle soon' message accompanied by a loss of power for around 10-30 seconds and i mean it feels like complete limp mode no boost whatsoever, but i just continue driving and power is back to normal, without...

Hi all I've recently started to hear a whistling noise from my engine and a loss of power when I'm driving along in my Vauxhall insignia SE Nav Cdti diesel 2.0 and then the power returns to the accelerator , when the power drops whilst driving along firstly the service light comes on. This is...

Hey guys, bought an insignia, 1.6 CDTI 2016 couple months back (Love it) but there’s one issue that’s doing my head in! I can play music with when my phone isn’t plugged in but as soon as I plug my phone into the USB the music goes off and I can’t play any music until I take it off charge. I’ve...

Hi Friends, I have got a service booked for 8th Jan 2020. But my info monitor says 8% on Oil dashboard. Can I drive with it for 150 miles? Thanks Sab

Hi guys, Sorry if this has been posted before but I was wondering if anyone knew of a more reliable gearbox that will fit into an Astra H 1.9 CDTi (150bhp) Z19DTH engine? thanks, Shaun

So, my REC has finally succumbed to rusting. I've repaired it once by soldering to the back, and I can't seem to fix the issue this time (rear fog check and doesn't light up). As they are not expensive de-paired/divorced on ebay for fairly good looking examples, I'm hoping I can just buy one...

Hi all, I'm new here I've got 2010 Vauxhall Zafira B 1.9 CDTi SRI and the car spanner light came on a few days ago. I have an OBD scanner (argos one) and I've done the pedal test and there are no error codes. I haven't noticed any significant changes in performance. I've had a look at some...

Hi there, Got an issue with a squealing (sounds like screeching brakes) turbo on my 2007 Zafira 1.9 CDTI 150 125k miles. So as normal my turbo normally kicks in at about 2000 revs and at about 2500 revs it starts squealing. Now i thinks its an obvious problem i.e poorly turbo but just wanted...

Hi guys. New here and really need help with this as been stumped for weeks. Have a 2008 Diesel astra with Z19DTL engine. The car has 86k on the clock and has been great for the 3 years I've had it. A few weeks ago it was struggling to start, it would turn over alot and eventually start...

Good evening guys, Just a quick one. Ive had the full service done today at the garage.. question is that the insignia is taking a few seconds to start, the fuel filter was primed correctly as I helped the mechanic... filter changed, seal replaced, filter filled up with diesel and put back and...

My Astra 2.0l CDTi has done 81k miles now and I thought it might be worthwhile cleaning the injectors. I've considered taking the car to a Diesel specialist to get them removed and cleaned (not sure how much this would cost) or alternatively, just using an injector cleaner. Can anyone recommend...

Hi folks, was driving along the motorway and suddenly lost power, similar symptoms to split turbo pipe. Discovered there was a hole in the intercooler, today I replaced it but the problem is still there, checked all pipes and connections, no leaks found. Previously there were no warnings on...

Hi guys Hoping you can help with my first post! i have a Corsa (D) 1.7 CDTI; the "service" warning light was on (the car with the spanner) when bought but i was told this just indicates a service is due. However, after a few days this light went off and the emissions warning light came on...

My Engine Management Light appeared on my dashboard a couple of weeks ago so I decided to get an OBD reader to try and establish what the issue was. The code P0400 appeared which led me to believe that something was wrong with the EGR Valve itself. I've admittedly got barely any experience with...

Hi all. New here. I have used the search to find what I'm looking for but couldn't see anything so here goes. Purchased my car in April this year and didn' notice til about 2 months later that I was missing some warning lights from the dash. As far as I remember I am missing... Engine...

hi all So my issue is,when the car is cold it starts fine,but as soon as the car is up to temp & i switch it off it wont start normally.If i do a normal start cycle it will fire but as soon as i let go of the key it will die.The only way i can get it to run is by doing the above,but rather than...

Hello, I'm new to this site, recently bought a Astra sri cdti. All was well until yesterday and I took off from a round about and went into second gear and my car cut out.. put the clutch in and started it and took off again. Thought maybe I had went into 4th instead of second and stalled...

Hey, Quick question for the more knowledgeable. I am currently trying to remove two injectors from my 2006 Signum 1.9 CDTi (120). This is to replace the seals only (I hope) as they were leaking. Real peach of a job due to carbon deposits means that I could not get them out without specialist...

I have an oil leak on top of the intercooler pipe. I can notice my turbo is slow. Takes longer to pick up speed and visable oil leak. I think I need a some kind of sleave or seal where the pipe connects to the gear box, does anyone know where I can get one? Instead of buying a whole new...
