    Hi guys. I've been wondering if installing a catch can to my remapped 165hp 2013 a20dth astra is really worth it and if so, how to do it?
  2. Astra J/GTC
    Hi all, been going on for the 2 years I’ve had the car (Astra J 1.3 Cdti). Hasn’t been an issue but can’t for the life of me figure out exactly what or where the sound is coming from, occurs on a cold start in the mornings/nights. Anyone any ideas if they’ve experienced the same? Just very...
  3. Astra J/GTC
    Hi all. My Astra has developed what I would call a high pitched tapping noise (rather than a knock) from the engine in the last couple of days. Little bit of history, in November just gone I had the oil pickup seal replaced following the oil pressure warning light in low temps. The warning also...

    My 1.7 occasionally starts smoking heavy white smoke after idling from cold. When it does happen, it does it after 2/3 minutes of idling without driving off. It’s heavy white and absolutely stinks of diesel! It’s runs lumpy with it too. No lights present on the dash during this and I usually...

  8. Astra J/GTC
    Hi. My astra j 2.0 cdti started behaving weirdly like it’s dropping in and out of limp mode. The revs just drop and then come back. Pulling away gets difficult as power not there. Also getting clunky when it’s doing this Had my codes read and all that came up was two codes for 2nd & 3rd glow...

    Hey all, Unfortunately the m32 gearbox on my Astra 1.9cdti 150 has gone and I’m looking for a new one. Someone near me has a gearbox off a Vectra 1.9cdti 120bhp model and is telling me that this gearbox will also fit my 150bhp model. Is this correct? I’ve heard from some people it’s a direct...
  10. Astra J/GTC
    Hey all I'm experiencing an odd situation. If I take my 1.3 Diesel for a run (allowing the engine to warm up), then leave it for 10-15 mins, on the next start I get an overpowering smell of Diesel if the blowers are on. It then fades after around 5 mins. The odd thing is, it doesn't happen when...

    I have an Astra G ECO4 53 plate, about 4 years ago I had a problem that when the engine was warm/hot it would turn over and eventually start, the hotter the engine got the more the problem manifested itself. I took the car to 2 garages but neither could find a fault to fix, I kept using the car...

    Hi I noticed my car sounds louder than usual during first time/morning start up and after driving off it then the car is fine. In addition, when I am idling for few minutes without the car moving at all, it would sound loud/rough then it goes back to quiet and vice versa after few. The car is...
