    I've got a coolant leak that seems to be worse with a cool engine rather than warm one. I think its coming from round the thermostat housing where its bolted to the engine. before I go down the route of changing it (suspect the gasket may have perished) I wondered if anyone had any guidance on...

    Hi guys, New to the forum but I'm a fellow car enthusiast on a budget, this time treating myself with a wonderful Astra! I bought it the other week (for some reason) and it needed a new battery and thermostat. I suppose I wanted a challenge so went for it. It has some more issues, as such a...

    So I’ve had my Vauxhall Astra J 1.6 Petrol for around a month a little. It was driving smoothly until someone hit into me whilst parked and I barely drive it now. I drove it one day and noticed a smell coming from the engine whilst driving and opened the coolant tank to notice it was filled with...

    Afternoon! I hope that everyone is safe and well. I have recently bought an Astra H 1.6 Hatchback from a dealer with a coolant level warning displaying on the radio screen every 5-10 mins when driving. This can be dismissed but is annoying and I want rid of it! I have already replaced the...

    Hi All, I'm in a sticky situation and would like some advice. After changing my thermostat housing side coolant temperature and de-aerating the system on an A16XER engine, i allow the car to reach its operating temperature whilst monitoring the new sensor reading. I heard a rupturing/bursting...
  12. Astra G
    Hi all, I have had my 2004 1.6 8v for a few months now. I do very few miles in it and normally only small journeys of a couple of miles. One of the first things I did was change the coolant as it looked like it had not been done for a long time. In order to drain the coolant I used the bleed...

    Hi, I've got a leaking hose which is leaking coolant everywhere. Definitely coolant as the expansion tank empties after about 10 miles and definitely this pipe cos I can see it spurting out of it. What I want to know is the part number of the pipe if I have to buy it from dealer (or where else)...

    Hi Guys Twice now I have had the above fault. The tacho does not register and the coolant system fault light remains on. There are no other symptoms, the engine runs fine and the management light stays off. The next time I started the car, on both occasions, all was normal! The car is a...

  16. Astra G
    Hi, The coolant warning light comes on and off randomly, it seems, on my astra g. The engine coolant level hasn't changed and the light comes on with or without the ac on. This has happened ever since I've replaced the air conditioning freon coolant, but I had it tested again and it works fine...
  17. Astra H
    The other day driving up a hill the car with a spanner lit up on my dashboard... I done the pedal test and got the following codes 21911 & 218217. The car still seems to run fine and isn't in limp mode. I can't find any information on the first code but I believe the 2nd one is for a coolant...
  18. Astra H
    Hi guys, To me this looks like a worn water pipe / perished rubber leak, but just wanted to get your opinions before I contact mechanic. I noticed last night on the way home that my cooling fan on the radiator was spinning up loudly, so I entered into diagnostic mode using the settings button...
