turbo

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 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, This is my first post ever in a forum, so please help me with this. I have a 2011 Astra 1.7cdti 110hp model, a few weeks ago I was driving on the motorway when under acceleration I felt the loss of power for fraction of a second and then it continued like normal. I continued to commute...

I have just bought an astra mk4 gsi, its started with a metal rattling noise coming from the engine bay, I initially thought it was the flexi that was blowing with the mesh off the flexi rattling, no it's coming from near the turbo, not convinced it is the turbo tho as theres no smoke and plenty...

So this has been on my mind a while, so trying to get it resolved. Zafira B 2011 A17DTJ engine so 1.7 CDTI Ecoflex. Oil is around the front engine mount and beside exhaust leaving engine, so in the turbo area. Looking up you can see oil splatters all around this section, but I'm struggling to...

Hi guys, So I was traveling to manchester last week in my Astra j turbo when all of a sudden after driving around 100 miles the car started to judder, felt like a misfire so I scanned for error codes and the only code that came up was "'P0007' DTC Fuel Shutoff Valve A Control Circuit High" As...

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...
