​
I have had my Opel Astra H 2006 for a good few months now. I know what everything does and how everything works. EXCEPT these two controls. The circular one right of the wheel (to me) looks like cruise control or something, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
The turnie knob thing looks like it is for changing channels or tracks or something, again, does nothing.
Just get it as a project
Not starting
Check fuel, spark and compression and alls good.
What my next steps

Hello,im am curious do you know what problem can cause car to behave like this
This is rpms during stop after 10min of speed around 90/h
I currently own an Astra G, and as nice of a car as it is, I want something better and bigger. What’s your thoughts about diesel Vectra C?
I have an opel corsa C 2004 1.2 twinport, engine code Z12XEP. Beside the original engine noise there is a ticking sound like a buzz. Any ide what can be the problem?
Hi everyone,
I have owned an Opel Corsa F for 1 1/2 years. This car has been causing nothing but problems since day one.
Does anyone else have the issue that speed limits are not read or saved correctly?
For example, when I drive past a 120 (km/h) sign on the highway, the car reads the sign and immediately switches to 30 km/h, then to 7 km/h, then to 10 km/h.
Disconnecting the battery helps for 10 minutes, then the whole game starts over.
The dealer doesn't care at all (0.0)! I find it extremely annoying that the car then starts beeping because it claims you are driving too fast.
I have reported this directly to Opel 3 times.
Twice I was put off and told to talk to the dealer.
The third time, they said they would take care of it. Opel called my dealer, and the dealer naturally claimed he would take care of it.
The dealer once again said he isn't going to do anything. I reported it to Opel again, and now they don't care anymore either.
This car and the service are a disaster.
Has anyone else had experiences like this?
The proportions may be a bit off, but truly, I love this car. My gf and my parents have it, it feels like home.
I'm thinking of buying a second-generation Mokka for my wife, she's almost in love with the car. My question is which engine to look at? 90% of the time it will be city driving.
I've heard about the problems with the 1.5 HDI engine, and also about the "problematic" 1.2 petrol engines.. but I need information if possible first-hand.
Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone, two days ago I picked up my new car; an Opel Astra K 1.4 (150hp) Innovation from 2018. Heavily loaded with options (thank you, first owner :D) I'm still discovering everything. I came from a 2006 Ibiza so the difference is húge.
There is just one thing I just can't find, what is this 'compartment' for that covers the fusebox? It seems specifically designed to hold something with the rubber or silicone lining. Or is is just for good grip to remove the panel?
Phone doesn't fit (maybe the size of phones nowadays is the problem :D), and it's not deep enough to hold sunglasses.
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to diagnose a strange cold-start issue on my 2011 Opel Astra J 1.6 petrol, A16XER, 115 hp.
The problem only happens after the car has been sitting for around 7–8 hours or overnight.
The engine starts normally and will idle on its own, but if I lightly press the accelerator during the first 10–15 seconds, it feels like the engine is choking/bogging down, almost as if the mixture is too rich.
If I simply let it idle for 10–15 seconds, after that it responds to the throttle perfectly normally. The problem does not return for the rest of the day unless the car sits for many hours again.
There are no DTCs / no Check Engine light.
Some live-data observations:
EVAP purge system:
I completely isolated the EVAP line by plugging the intake manifold connection during a cold start. The symptom was exactly the same, so the purge valve/EVAP system seems unlikely.
MAF:
I also tried a cold start with the MAF disconnected. It did not appear to solve the problem.
Hi everyone. When I go above 5,500 RPM, I lose a lot of power. At 6,000 RPM, it feels like i hit the limiter . Does anyone know what could be causing this?
Hi everyone,
I have a 2016 Opel Astra K and I’m really struggling with the driver’s seat. After buying and driving it for 2 days, my lower back starts hurting because it feels like something is constantly pushing into it.
The seat has the lumbar adjustment button with four arrows (up/down/in/out). I’ve tried pretty much every possible setting. I moved the lumbar support all the way back so the “bump” should be at its minimum, but I can still clearly feel something pressing into my lower back.
I’ve also tried changing the seat height, backrest angle and my distance from the steering wheel, but I still can’t find a comfortable position. My back actually hurts even when bending over afterwards.
I’m 190 cm and 75-80 kg.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to reduce/remove the lumbar support even further, or could there be something wrong with the seat itself?
Thanks!
Was wondering what the smoke might be.. Drove for about 15 minutes at 100kmth. Was thinking it was regenerating, but the strong smell made me think it might be something else. Any probable cause? Thanks in advance!
Hi like the title says, my Opel astra G 2002 1.7 dti is getting intermittent steering wheel. On the morning, it's hard, but after driving for a couple kilometres and leave it on rest, it come back working fine and keeps that way until night when the following morning it repeats the cycle. I've noticed that when the steering wheel is hard the battery indicator on the dashboard doesn't light up. While when at the time of day the steering wheel is working ok the indicator light up normally.
When the indicator is not showing up, the battery is not being charged presumably. But when the indicator light up, the battery starts charging normally.
What can be? Has someone else experienced this before?
Thank you.
