clutch

Hi All Since owning my astra ive noticed that at idle there seems to be some clutch rattle, cole or warm engine. I know its the clutch as when i push the clutch pedal in it goes away, and when releasing it comes back. Any ideas what could be causing it? No performance issues whatsoever so im...

Hi all Got a problem with the astra which occurred today - started sounding a bit weird yesterday after a sharp turn slightly too fast - power steering pump was almost screaming (only car i've ever driven where the PS pump sounds like it isn't fit for the job). Anyway this morning i got into...

2005 Astra Mk5 1.9 CDTi Reg: FN55LHF Hi, I’m having problems with putting my car into gear when I first start it in the morning and after work. The gear linkage needs tightening/maybe a new set of cables however this is not what is causing the issue as there is no problem putting it into...

Hi all I posted two separate threads prior to this but thought i'd consolodate them as they may be connected. Been getting two different types of engine noise from my Astra H 04 1.6 petrol engine. The first noise is pretty much there all the time when I drive, it's like a high pitch chirp...

Hi Folks, I was driving round a round about and released the clutch and the engine just revved and did not drive. Clutch feels fine, gears feel fine just no go forward. I looked at the gear linage and it is moving through the gears. It feels like the clutch is constantly engaged. In...

So today I picked up my car Astra 1.9 CDTI from a garage in London, I had the classic gearbox issue and these guys advertise that they're specialist in rebuilding and replacing them. £950 for parts and labor in 48 hours, not too bad. The guy was friendly enough and took me for a test drive...

I have a 2010 Astra J Sports tourer 1.7 with 52000 miles on the clock. I have a recurring intermittent problem with the clutch. Usually the biting point is about half way up but it will sometimes refuse to disengage and the biting point will be right down at the floor. Occasionally the gears...

Hi guys, I have a 2010 plate 1.7CDTi [125] SRi, 103k miles. I bought the car at 87k and have unfortunately already had to replace the M32 gearbox bearings at 99k. Another couple of noises have been bothering me lately: The first one is a loud juddering sound that occurs around biting point...

Hi folks, having a few problems with my 2007 1.6 Twinport and after a bit of advice.... Firstly, the car is using a lot of oil, I'm having to top up when oil light comes on every 750-1000 miles, and using 10w40 (the 5w30 doesn't even get to 500 miles). Engine management light came on a few...

Hey, So I recently got myself GTC Sport 2.0 CDTI in exchange for my 208. It has done 7000 miles and just wanted to get your opinion on the clutch. There seems to be a gap at the top where it seems very loose before the clutch starts for a coupe of inches. It also fees very heavy my...

Two different questions: normal for gear to be stiff and clunk noise when shifting to 3rd? 1.This morning it was a bit cold but I wouldn't say it was below minus more like 5-7 Celsius I couldn't shift from 1st to 2nd gear because it was like stiff and I just had to stay in 1st so which...

Stuck in traffic jam stopping then moving and while sitting at traffic is it bad for the clutch or throw out bearings if you were waiting with the foot on the clutch and brake while the car is engage in 1st gear(you're not moving). I have been doing that for years. I just came across since...

Morning all :)this week Ive had a problem with my Easytronic Z16XER astra. (Boss sold it to me cheap, so no judging :P ) Ive noticed that when Im braking, and the car drops to 1st gear, it more or less almost stalls the car, which I thought was impossible on an Auto... Would this be my clutch...

Hi All, I had a new clutch kit and Dual Mass Flywheel fitted on my Astra 1.7 CDTi 2 weeks ago and have had problems shifting down the gears ever since (shifting up was fine). I took it back to the garage who fitted it and was told the clutch just needed a while to bed in. Since then, the...

Hi, I have just had a new clutch kit and dual mass flywheel fitted costing around £650 on my Astra H 2007 CDTi 85k miles. I'm now having problems shifting down through the gears. Shifting up from 1st to 5th is absolutely fine but once in 5th or 4th gear, the only way to move down the gears is...
