    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...

    Alright lads, I've been having an issue with the engine fan on my 2009 1.6 Astra H. The engine fan seems to always be stuck on, from starting the car to the end of my journey its extremely loud and sounds like a bus. I've read a lot recently that a common fault is the thermostat? I've just...

    Evening folks. My astra i bought has a slight issue with the temperature. It only goes to 60° no matter how long i drive the car. I can get it to go up to 65° - 70° if I remove the Air Conditioning System fuse from the glove box. Not sure if it would be the thermostat or something else. Also...

    Hi everyone, I've had my Astra G for a couple of weeks now, I've done a lot of lurking at common problems and fixes and definitely need a new thermostat. In our current 30c heat I'm not managing to maintain a decent coolant temperature and the second I open up the heater matrix the needle...
  8. Astra H
    Hi Everybody, I have an issue with my Astra H Z18XER, which is the engine sometimes overheating. By observing the temperature it rises up to 117-118 C and sometimes 120 before going down to 107-108 C, then goes up quickly to 117-118 C. It keeps going up and down like that, and in some cases...
  9. Astra J/GTC
    Daughter's car has the common coolant temperature fault. I think it has gone open circuit Looking at the thermostat, I am unsure whether the sensor can be changed. I would rather simply pop a new sensor in if possible. It looks like it does not screw in and I don't want to force it. Original...

    Hi everyone, recently bought a 09 1.8vvt 3dr and it drives great etc. I did a fault code test just to try it having previously had to buy/borrow an obd reader only to find there was a code! ECN 59761. Thought maybe an old code so got the codes reset via an obd only for it to return. I have no...

    Hi All, I had a leak from the thermostat housing (1.7 cdti) and have bought a gasket from Eurocarparts. It made of foam type material. Need some advice on the following: 1) In the workshop manual it says use "special grease (White)" - what would be the best grease to use? 2) What is the torque...
