  2.0 CDTi SVS/Limp mode :(
Posted by: hooper - 2:nd-Jul-2019, 17:41:43 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (8)

Hello all

I recently bought a 2013 2.0 CDTi Elite. 35k on the clock.

On Saturday (hot day) it went into limp mode with the Service Vehicle Soon message. Engine was running at normal temp.

Took it to my local garage yesterday afternoon and they got back to me this afternoon.
They cleared the message and took it for a road test. 
- Car temp went into the red and triggered limp mode again.
- One cooling hoses was red hot, the other stone cold.
They are going to continue looking into it tomorrow as well as send me the error code.

I normally drive the car 40 miles per day on A roads ranging between 40-80mph, mix of eco-driving and fun.
I recently fitted a DPF signal light (as per the guide) and it has come on once in the last 2 weeks and completed the cycle before I got home.

Car came with 6 month dealer warranty but they are refusing to pay for 3rd party repairs/diagnostics. 
The garage is 2 hours away.

Any ideas?

Hi

Hello,

Is it possible to use original microphone from Astra with Parrot CK3100 unit?

Original microphone has 3 wires: black, red, blue. Parrot mic cable has black and white. it's standard 3.5mm jack.

Is it possible to connect that cable with original microphone?

Which colors i need to use to connect it?

Thanks!


  My new pride and joy: Halfords advanced

I know the sets are to a lot of people's liking, but for a person like myself, it gives me exactly what I want.

During their extra 20% off last weekend, combining with cashback, reward points and redemption values, less than £100 for the Halfords Advanced 200pc socket set.

Used it today for replacing the condenser, made the job a damn sight easier (the prior week I had to abandon due to a missing E12 socket. Well, E8-E18 was missing entirely.

All the joys of moving home!

The only niggle I have is when using a wrench at speed, I can flick the lever on the back quite easily, but I feel this is more to do with my technique with the lower lever as it improved as the day went on.

A nice bit of kit that I, personally, am happy to have.
