I disconnected my phone from the car and it still happened. Even happened when i turned the radio off! I have had my astra 3...

    Hey guys, recently I exerienced a flutter/turkey noise from my Astra H GTC 1.6T Z16LET and the P1243 was shown on the diagnostic. I was advised that it was the recirculation valve and I ordered one from the ebay to check it out. Has anyone used one of these 20-30 quid valves from the ebay or...

    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...

    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...

    Hey guys! I am am new to this forum - bought a 57 reg black Astra H 1.6 (115) last saturday. The car needs some minor attention like getting the alignment done, regassing the AC, replacing cam belt etc which I will address in the due course. Today however I noticed a humming sound coming from...

    Hello Forum, My astra has a loud tapping noise, not dissimilar to a 'tappet sound' but I can not figure out where its coming from. I have put it in the garage twice (different ones) and they simply do oil swap and say its fixed. It is not, not even slightly reduced. If I listen/probe the...

    I'm having this problem, when I press to roll up the windows it will fully go up but there will be a intermittent clicking or creaking noise which it sounds like it isn't even fully up . Therefore I have to press the window button again to stop it from making the strange clicking noise and makes...

    I am not sure if it is normal or a problem but let say I am waiting for someone and my car is stationary with the engine running. After maybe 5-15 minutes or longer there would be a strange noise and a vibration which lasts for 5 seconds then stops. It doesn't happen just once but if I push the...

    I haven't been on here for years - My 888 1.9 CDTi has been as good as gold until now ..! So I need advice on a possible failing turbo. The car is only on around 61,500 miles and is well looked after, but the turbo has started to make a terrible screeching sound (not to be confused with the...

    Hi all, First of all I know this subject has been done to death, and I have done a lot of reading around but no one topic matches my symptoms exactly so I'd rather ask and be sure before parting with a lot of money! I have a 2010 Astra J 1.7CDTi (125) which I believe has the M32 gearbox, 98k...

    It sounds like the astra J mk6, I hired when you release/pull the electronic handbrake but since mines uses a manual handbrake and is mk5. Just wondering what the noise is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOWYFveYsW8 2nd question: Does wet or dampness cause the car to have a rough start...

    Thought you all may be interested in my recent experience regarding engine noise and road noise from 12 plate Astra Elite 2.0 Diesel. Having moved from a petrol 03 plate Merc C class the Astra was a far more practical car but the engine refinement and road noise at motorway speed was markedly...

    EDIT: Hooting is a terrible description of the sound - beeping would be a bit closer ! Hi Guys, The other night I noticed a problem on my 2008 1.3 cdti estate. (you can save the underpowered jokes for later once this stops breaking my heart ;p) This came out of nowhere and I'm a bit annoyed...
