Welcome back to the VXOC FORUM.
Sorry for our lack of support over the last year but MYBB is back and so are we.
Let's get the forum buzzing again... (March 25, 2022)x
Wondering if anyone's had problems with the 1.6t when accelerating? It's mainly in 2nd gear, feels really jerky like the power to the engine is being cut.
Googled a few things. Someone said the ecu needs updating.
Ok so first of all you need to feel along the top of the side trim, you will fell there is plastic behind it but as you move along you will feel there is a bit you can push in.
Once you found that area you can start to cut (DO NOT CUT IT ALL WAY) do a small bit to begin with and then slowly make the hole bigger as you go just use try the lamp as you go.
Then make a loom up and feed it through the hole down and down into the hidey hole.
Next remove the rear boot trim, To do this pull the rubber off and then pull the bottom of the trim in towards the front of the car, then using a trim tool lever the top off.
Then feed the loom behind the side trim and work your way along (Sorry not many pics here as some bits you can't get pics of).
Again at the other end feed it up behind the side trim and then feed it to the light (If open the hidey hole and feel the factory loom that will help you with routing this one.)
When wiring up connect you positive to the green and Negative to the Black, then solder and heat-shrink or solder and wrap in Elec tape.
Pop your lights back in and hey pesto extra boot light is installed.
Okay, just had something brought to my attention about the airbag light which would normally be on the dashboard next to where the hazard button is. I'm sure that I used to have a light which lit up and showed something about the airbag being enabled...Vauxhall also said that I should be seeing one...but it's not lit up now and i'm sure it used to be...Does anyone know what I mean and also know if it should or shouldn't be lit up...?
Anybody ever had any trouble with them, mine has them front and rear, fitted by vauxhall from new I believe, when I select reverse the automatically switch on, but yesterday when I selected reverse, I only got a message in dash, saying 'parking assist off' and I am unable to switch them back on via the button on the facia
I didn't really like them when I first got the car, but now that they don't work, I'm missing them and realising I must of been relying on them a lot
