Hi, anyone saw this error on Opel Astra K (2016, 1.6 tdi).

Service: Vehicle soon

Car has no issue, run smoothky as usual. Shows (not always) when I start engine.

Hi all!

I am trying to understand why my gear knob comes loose when I pull it for reversing and I can't do it. It's an Astra J (2014).

About to have a child and a little in panic with not being able to drive my wife to hospital, any clue on how to do this?

Hello,
I recently acquired a 2012 Opel Astra J GTC. I am in love with the car, but sadly it does not have any bluetooth functionality. I know that the factory bluetooth option can make and answer calls using the steering wheel buttons and such, as well as listen to music, which is what I would like to replicate.

My Research:

I found out there used to be a company called MetaSystem making some aftermarket bluetooth kits that interfaced directly with the CAN bus and adding the functionality on top, but they seem to be pretty impossible to find in 2026.

I also found some newer kits from a company called VOCOM, which seem fine, but all of them say "For Opel Astra H" which if I remember right, is the model after mine, so I'm left wondering for compatibility. They're also not very cheap lol

I know there are some Android tablet kits that fit in place of the original display and such but I really do not like those. I would love to keep the original car's display and everything as instact as possible.

Question:

Does anybody know any other options? How much do they cost?

I need to buy a tail light for my 08 Astra H. Found many brands from TYC, Johns, Van Wezel (cheapest) to Pasco, Hella, Jumasa, Alkar.

Can someone recommend which brand is better? From what I found the 3 first posted above don't have such good reputation while Hella is greatly appreciated but it also costs 3x more.

Hi everyone, I'm having a strange issue with the cooling system on my 2010 Opel Astra J 1.6 petrol, 115hp. The coolant level is perfectly fine, but the temperature has become completely unstable. If I turn on the windscreen defroster/heater, the engine temperature plummets straight down to 60°C - 70°C. If I turn the climate control completely off, it eventually manages to climb back to 90°C, but it fluctuates and doesn't stay exactly AT 90° no matter if I drive in the highway in the city. I recently did a 360 km road trip all highway at a Speed between 100 and 130 with the defroster running, and the engine stayed cold the entire drive. I checked under the hood and noticed that the radiator fan kicks on at maximum speed in intermittent bursts, almost as if the car is trapped in some sort of safety/emergency mode, actively forcing the engine to cool down to 70°C instead of letting it warm to 90°C. The AC blows hot air but as soon as the temp goes to 70°C it blows cold air. I disconnected and reconnected the battery before this issue. Also the temp outside is between 10°C to 11°C don't know if it as something to do with it cause in the summer it heated completely fine no matter if the AC was on or not, And of course blowed hot air just fine. Any ideas of how to fix it or what it could be ?

Hello, I would like to verify the correct tire pressures for a 2000 Opel Corsa B 1.0. If I recall correctly, the information on the fuel filler flap stated: Up to 3 passengers: 2.0 bar front, 1.6 bar rear Fully loaded: 2.3 bar front, 2.7 bar rear The tire sizes approved for this vehicle (as per the registration document) are: 145/80 R13 165/70 R13 165/80 R13 165/65 R14 I am currently using 165/70 R13 tires; are the settings of 2.0 bar front and 1.6 bar rear appropriate? I have found different figures online, such as: 2.2 bar front, 1.8 bar rear
