Hi, Astra GTC has some damage to the front following a collision with a raised kerb. Engine management light came on the day afterwards. Noticed a few days later that something is hanging out the front. Does anyone have any ideas what this might be and would it have caused the management light...

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 guys, I've recently had my ECU replaced and the traction control and service ESP light have come up on my astra GTC 2014 1.7 diesel. I took it back to the garage where they reset the ECU and the faults disappeared. I then noticed my cruise control stopped working, so I took it back to them...

Hello, I’m a new Vauxhall and Astra driver and recently bought a 3 year old GTC. Loving the car, but I’m having an issue with it which is really becoming a bit of a bug bear. Not every time, but most of the time, when I pull up, park the car, stick it in Park, pull the handbrake up, turn the...

My timing chain went on my 2013 GTC 1.4 turbo (33k miles). The check engine light came on a week before it happened and I was planning on asking my local garage to have a look at it when my MOT was being done a few days later. Unfortunately it broke before I taken it and I have had to spend...

Hi. I want to fit a VXR style spoiler to my Astra GTC, which currently only has the standard one. After researching a little bit online I've found that these little triangle-like things need to be removed prior to installation. Any one done this before or have an idea how these would come off...

Hi Folks, My Astra GTC has developed a high pitch whistling noise from the engine. The noise sounds when the engine gets up to temperature/pressure and can be heard while moving and at stationary. When trying to locate roughly where the noise is coming from, it seems to be around the area...

I own a 2015 Astra Gtc and want to know if there is a way to make my exhaust visible. Currently it sits behind the pen rear bumper and points towards to ground. I don't want to cut a hole or cutout in the rear bumper, but unsure of another way to do this.

Hi all It's only been happening these last few weeks but there seems to be a horrendous screeching noise coming from the drivers side wheel, it's hard to tell if it's the front or back. I think it could be something to do with the brakes. I starts after a while of driving around when...
