Hi Having trouble with the rear passenger air bag light which intermittently comes on. We've numerous parts changed and just wondering if anyone else has had the same issue. If so how did you get it solved? Thanks

Can anyone advise on the following problem I have. The LED driving lights have gone on the N/S headlight and I am told this requires a complete new headlight unit. Currently Vauxhall, Hella or anyone else I have tried have one in stock and Hella inform me it will be Feb 2024 before these are manufactured again. Problem is my MOT is about to run out and will fail with the faulty LED running light. I have tried dozens of car dismantlers with no luck. I have found second hand lamps in Germany but the part numbers are different and I don't want to chance paying £700 for the wrong lamp. The Vauxhall part number is 13432958 and Hella number is 1ZT011166-731. The German part numbers are 1ZT011166-721 and GM part number 13426663. Does anyone know if these parts are interchangeable as my car is RHD and the German are LHD. Any help would be appreciated.

Oh yes, your mind of Knowledge will be sought of by all concerned. Welcome aboard. I could probably think of some questions for you, but not tonight.

I want to delete the chrome window trims, I've thought of vinyl wrap, I've done plenty of wrapping in other cars, then thought of using plasti dip (never used before) or taking the trim off (if possible) and spray painting it all black . So, to those who have deleted the chrome my question is ... how did you do it ? What do you recommend if you've done it more than once , same car or others , help me decide guys

I don't know if you can turn of the keyless entry, I can't on my 2010 Astra Twin Top. So my solution was to buy a "Faraday Pouch" which stops any signals being sent or received by the fob whilst in the pouch, secondly I bought a Steering Wheel Lock, you will see quite a few top end models such as Range Rovers now sporting Steering Wheel Locks when parked up. ( I went for the Stoplock Pro which is a Thatcham Security Approve Steering Lock).

The EML and Traction Control lights go out when the fault is corrected, but the actual Fault Codes usually still stored. You can check this by using the "Pedal Method" that I have put a "How To Do" about in the Vauxhall Knowledge section. Disconnecting the battery overnight can sometimes clear the Fault Codes. If I had lived near you I would have come and cleared the Faults for a cuppa and a snowball.

Cheers for that , I did wonder if it was a case of the button just being a standard fitted part but not wired in or programmed, or something like that, ah well , I'll probably leave as is and just learn to slum it

Don't know much about Agilas, but is the seat the half leather option where the leather splits and comes apart ? If so the are a couple of places in the Luton area that can replace the leather section, which should be cheaper than replacement seats.

Just an after thought, the folding mirror mechanism can be fitted but it is supposed to be a bit of a faff. I'm sure that I have seen a "How To" on the subject before and could try and look it out for you if you want.

I'm fairly certain that it's a case of you don't have the power fold option. The switch is mass produced and it is cheaper to just show all options on the casing and fit it to all models, such as under your bonnet you will find at least one unconnected plugin because the loom for petrol and diesel models are the same and dependant on whether your car is diesel or petrol will determine which plugin is unconnected. There will be other parts within the car that are like that but where you may gain from it such as certain wiring looms that cater for higher spec models are often fitted on lower spec models, the electric adjustable and heated seats wiring loom is often fitted on lower spec models.

Rate then, I did my introduction yesterday so now come the questions My siggy is a 2015 face-lift 2.0 cdti ecoflex sports tourer, now then , on my door I've got the two mirror switches, the flat ish round one with up, down, left an right positions and the little rectangular one below it , for left an right mirror for adjustment, according to the manual if I select the little dot in the middle of that switch it should enable me to fold the mirrors by using the round button as there is a tiny curved arrow, representing the fold action , well , it doesn't bloody do anything am I missing something here ? I'm use to powerfold and miss it

Hi all. Having had a 2009 2l cdi for six years and 100000 miles now thinking that maybe I should upgrade. The latest models seem pretty good. Any thought on what I should go for and what I should pay. Any suggestions would be welcome. Cheers

Does the vauxhall grandland x have a radar module and does anyone know what the black plug and brown plugs are on the front bumper

Rate then, last week I picked up a 2015 insignia 2.0 cdti ecoflex sports tourer, comfy as hell inside and surprised at how nice everything is inside , how the cockpit looks and feels , but and I have looked but can't find any real answers to this question, my mirror button has the round up , down, left and right toggle with the rectangular button below it , with the little dot between the left mirror button and right mirror button , it also has the little symbol indicating powerfold mirrors , now when I select the little dot on the lower button and then press down on the round toggle button , nothing happens, the mirrors dont fold at all and I can't hear anything like a motor trying to fold them , so I'm not sure if I'm missing something?? Is it a case of vauxhall just put that button in regardless, even if there's no folding function on a particular model ? It's something I miss , having powerfold mirrors

Bom Dia amigos! Meu nome é Vitor Hugo, sou brasileiro, tenho um Opel Omega A (vendido aqui como Chevrolet) com motor Chevrolet 250 (4.1 12v). Ele usa câmbio manual GMR25 de 5 marchas, aqui no Brasil a GM recomenda óleo de transmissão syntheso DEP 150 que é difícil de localizar, mas em algumas pesquisas vi que usa sintético 75w90, alguém poderia mandar uma foto do manual ômega A para ver qual fluido a GM recomenda transmissão manual lá?

Hi....welcome to the Club Quite a history with the brand over the decades! Always happy to have an expert to assist in the forums where possible Good to have you onboard

After a search through the Forum I could not find any information on the above title. So, Here they are. Fault Codes are usually found by a mechanic checking the Engine Management System with a machine that plugs into the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) which is usually situated under the dashboard. These Machines are called Op Coms or in Vauxhall's case Vaux Coms, cheap Chinese Clones can be purchased and some may even allow you to "programme" certain things, but most are OK for searching and finding Fault Codes. Fault Codes can also be found on almost all cars built on or after 2000 by using "The Pedal Test Method" :: To do this you need to Press both the Accelerator and Brake pedals down to the floor then turn ignition on until the lights come on but not as far as to start the engine..........then where your mileage shows up it should flash up "ECN" and then a series of numbers that are your fault codes, several codes can come up quickly after one another so it is a good idea to have a pen and paper ready. If nothing appears then you either have no faults or the test hasn't worked, but it usually does work on most cars. Now you will need to know what the codes mean, here is a full and comprehensive list of the Fault Codes (the vast majority of these codes apply to most other cars as well as Vauxhalls. When checking your codes from the "Pedal Test" ignore the "P" on the Fault Code list and use only the first four digits reading from the left, if the code brought up is only 3 digits then add a 0 to the front of the code. Here is a Link to a Full and Comprehensive List of the Fault Codes (Almost 1900 of them) (1) Vauxhall Fault Finding For Free | Digitalworldz Oh, and a Big Thank You to Trevor on Admin for suggesting the link when I was unable to upload the Fault Codes.

I have a 2015 insignia and the radio doesn’t work sometimes, so I was thinking of getting a second hand one off eBay but I was wondering do I need a code or can I just plug in and go?

Hi everyone I'm new here .I was looking for bita help trying to find a corsa e vxr front bumper.if anyone has or knows anyone selling one please get in touch I'm based in Northern Ireland

There will be many cars that have gone way over the milage suggested for changing Timing Belt and Timing Chains. But that doesn't mean you should leave it, because if the Timing Belt breaks then you will most likely require a new engine, so it's much safer and cheaper in the long run to replace them at given mileages, and even the mileage suggested does not guarantee that the Timing Belt won't break before then. Always check their condition and if they are looking a bit the worse for wear then get the spanners out ! While you are doing the Timing Belt it is worth checking the Water Pump and why not give your car a full service while you're at it, spark plugs, oil change, change all the filters Including the Cabin/Pollen Filter (these are often forgotten about, but it will help your interior fans and stop a few smells) and even the Ignition Coil Pack or just the spark plug leads and points on old vehicles. Your car will appreciate it by running better and you will appreciate that their will be less likelihood of a breakdown.

Hi Everyone, I am a new member but certainly not new to Vauxhall cars, having worked at Vauxhall for approximately 25 plus years and having owned various Vauxhall's during the 50 years that I have been driving ranging from FB Victors, HA and HB Vivas, Crestas and Viscounts, Cavaliers, Montereys and Astras. My current Vauxhall is a 2010 Astra H Twin Top 1.8 Automatic, which I am using as a daily runabout but that I am attempting to improve its condition such as keeping it in tip top mechanical condition, tidying up a few interior problems and also attending to a few dents and scratches that require repair and a bit of paintwork. So it should keep be busy for a little while. I have accumulated a fair bit of knowledge about Vauxhall cars along the way and if I am able to help anyone I will be happy to oblige.

No need to buy an Op Com, you could check for fault codes using the "Pedal Test Method" Press both the Accelerator and Brake pedals down to the floor then turn ignition on until the lights come on but not as far as to start the engine..........then where your mileage shows up it should flash up an ECN number that is your fault code, if nothing appears then you either have no faults or the test hasn't worked, but it usually works on most cars. I will check the forum to see if there is a list of fault codes (which is quite a long list) if I can't find a list then I will post the fault codes.
