Vauxhall Owners Club

Great diagnostic skills used to determine faults rather than just replacing components in an attempt to resolve the issues. Thanks for giving feedback and solutions

It does sound like it needs to have a constant clear out of the carbon build up in the EGR, DPF and Turbo. Carbon builds up in town driving and only really has a chance to clear when the power is applied. When a DPF regenerates it produces smoke and you will also notice the engine temperature may rise. This is normal and needs to occur more frequently to keep the DPF clean otherwise it will cost a fortune to clean or replace

This may help

Sorry to hear the engine has expired You are welcome to place an advert in the For Sale section of this forum to see if there are any interested buyers

Hi....welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard

It would certainly be a desirable car for a younger driver and worth trying to advertise it on Gumtree or Facebook Marketplace You are also welcome to post a for sale advert in this forum and see if it gets any interested buyers

Hi...welcome to the Club quite a rare van to see on the roads nowadays Good to have you onboard!

I would get another scan as those codes may have been caused by sensors being disconnected during some work on the engine. A fresh scan will at least show current faults since the historic ones were cleared....at least you'll know the current fault

Regular maintenance The effect of inadequate maintenance of the car is very underestimated. The controlling of the clutch is hydraulic and receives its fluid from the brake fluid reservoir. When the brake fluid is contaminated, it doesn’t just affect the brake system but also the clutch system (and therefore also the clutch actuator). Especially oil seals don’t like this contamination. Information source: https://www.actronics.co.uk/acinsights/bosch-easytronic-f13-mta-f17-mta

Some more information that I have found Hydraulic fluid Also checking and replacing (when needed) the hydraulic fluid is no unnecessary luxury. Many cases are known where the system has not had maintenance for years and where flushing and bleeding solved the problem. Flushing and bleeding the hydraulic circuit has even more advantages: possible defects with the clutch actuator (see below for more information) are easy to be detected. The bleeding-procedure is so detailed, that during controlling the clutch actuator, defects easily become visible. Often the actuator is (partly) defective.

On a Vauxhall with an Easytronic transmission, the transmission fluid reservoir is typically located on the top of the transmission housing, near the rear of the engine bay; it will usually have a small fill cap that you can access to check and add fluid, though the exact location might vary slightly depending on the specific Vauxhall model - always consult your vehicle's owner's manual for the most accurate location

Here is the correct fluid for the Easytronic transmission https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/273902881945?_skw=Easytronic+fluid&epid=8032645257&itmmeta=01JJP6NQHEJSKWFDYZBPW8JFK2&hash=item3fc5e24c99:g:EUsAAOSweY9maFMz&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKlWqFaBEvDBkvRhCp0QezZbFyp8GKXP2RgqTZxSIA14P8fe2ONrMgAw7OL77%2BnSnXvZpfsIvF5c99GPcoIXi9wvlBccaxSPicDnYGEZ3eOK8kE9A4tQyODMpzkNJgtLhNOLLoIrm9Ac%2FbP1GCfPyY8sWiyqGfgZ8Ir8rFI8ukGiPTLY%2F%2BhoFCsWHs3OTLA%2FApzvjajK3DDzb%2BqP%2BZ5LVHtN%2FAEZX%2FG2ow6p%2Bc99xTZMHK8NnEnHSppWIGBMyCA7hwU%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR_D41saVZQ

That will more than likely be the heated mirror element which your replacement probably doesn't have

Check fuse 20 to see if that is blown - usual fault is the actuator mechanism is seized and will need cleaning up or replacing You can manually release the catch by removing the drivers side rear side trim cover in the boot area and moving the mechanism by hand

Sounds like you have a leaking slave or master cylinder (or both) if the fluid needs topping up Best to look underneath and see if there are any fluid leaks in the transmission area

Maybe best to get a mobile mechanic to come to you rather than driving it any further. It should be a relatively easy task to diagnose with a scan tool Let us know how you get on with it

I would advise to contact Vauxhall UK directly and enquire about the warranty Also it would be useful to determine if it has had paint for a repair by visiting a bodyshop and also get a quote while you are there

please let us know the outcome when you get it diagnosed

Try this company https://www.vauxhallgreenparts.co.uk/Rascal.html

Try this company https://www.reluctorrings.com/

sounds silly but can you swap the front wheels to the rear and vice versa to see if the fault transfers - then you can determine if the sensors are faulty or the system itself

The best method is to diagnose the point of entry for the water by using a Smoke Generator which will accurately show where the leak is Meanwhile, dry out the interior and see if that improves the electrical issue

Sounds like the door switch on that door is defective Alternatively, the wiring within the rubber boot connecting the door to the pillar has a broken wire

I would go to a scrapyard and see whats there....chances are most Vauxhall bulb holders may also be the same so take your old one to compare
