Hi guys, hope all is well during the lockdown and staying safe. I'm writing to see if there's any help available from anyone on the forum. I recently had a tining chain malfunction on my 2013 2.0 litre cdti lwb panel van. I've had the garage on the phone explaining the engine is completely...

Hi there. My car is an Astra 1.6 Diesel. I noticed a weird sound today. I have added the video links down there. Can anyone help me about what are the things that can cause this sound? Thank you.

Hi Guys I bought this 2009 Astra 1.6l (64k miles) last summer from a local dealer. Test drove it, felt good (also with the power) but there was this "clicking" noise from the engine. It was there when idling, went away some times, came back, pretty random. See video here: I pointed it out and...

Hey people. Recently my 1.8 insignia has started to idle rough only on a cold start (needle on rpm gauge twitches) with a rhythmic sound following the pulsing from the engine. Also after the engine has been running a few seconds the engine revs drop only for a second then raise again and the...

Hi there, I've had a vivaro for around 4 months now and it's been nothing but trouble; Injectors, engine mount, alternator and now it won't start. The engine turns over, kicks in but then the revs drop immediately. After some research I've looked at the fuel filter (seems fine) the manual...

Hello people of the internet. I have a problem with my 2002 Opel Astra G 2.2 Bertone Convertible. Last week the engine started making a ticking noise (as you can see in the video: https://jmp.sh/cxJ7rOR). I called Road Services and they send out a mechanic that came to check the vehicle on the...

Hi everyone, my first post so didn’t know where else to turn for thoughts. So about a week ago, driving home the no abs light comes on on my dash. Then my car starts stuttering whilst driving, no full loss of power but no acceleration, for a few seconds then it kicked back in, fine for a...

Hi, I have some issue with my old Meriva. It's semi-auto, if that matters. I've noticed this since weather got warmer. So, in a nut-shell, the car won't start if: - it's sunny (hot?!) outside OR - the engine is hot (car ran before, and then trying to restart the engine) The engine starts to...

Hi all I’ve done a quick search on the site but can’t see a similar thread with the same problem I’m having; 2011 trafic 2.0 140k For around the last 2 weeks the engine/exhaust seems louder than usual, almost like it has a blow on the exhaust There’s not change in performance, starts, runs...

Hi all, My 61 plate Vauxhall Corsa D sxi (46,000 miles) has started cutting out on me. At first, I was pulled up with my hazards on and it failed to start. After taking out all the electrics it started. Second time, I was at a standstill turning right and it cut out on me again. Restarted...

Hi, new to the forum. I’m having a problem with the lambda sensor on my car, this all started when my engine was about to stall at a roundabout but I caught it and dropped the clutch and it bounced back into life, next thing the EML was on. I checked the diagnostic code and it was P0136 and...

Hi there all I have recently got myself a Astra estate and was wonder is it the same engine and my mates Astra in terms of getting parts or will mine be different?

I'm new to the Zafira and it's been nearly 10 years since I've worked on cars but needs must. When I was replacing some other parts on my Zafira B 1.8 Sri (z18xer) I found this part loose. Its on the top, back left of the engine (when looking at the engine from the front). The plastic...

Hey guys! I’m back again. After rebuilding my Astra 1.8’s engine, we got bored and came accross an Astra coupe for £300 with the Z20let engine in. After programming the car to my ignition and transponder unit I was able to start the car and it ran up good. We bought it for doing a turbo...

Hi, new to this. Can anyone tell me the procedure for replacing an engine control unit on an Astra J using vaux com. I have Delphi also but no function in it. Done plenty of Astra H but not getting the same options for Astra J, TIA.

Hey, I need to replace the throwout bearing on my car, complete with the clutch. but the mechanic who is going to give me a quote needs the engine serial number, and since the engine was changed before I bought it, I can't know for sure it is the same engine that Autosys says it is. The problem...
