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
My remaining oil life showed 22% (I have plenty of time till my services) and I've decided to add some oil.
I bought the right one and added about a liter of oil.
I thought that the percentage would change upwards, but it didn't. So I tried resting it. Now it shows a 100% but the MIL light is on.
I read a bit online and found out that in order to really reset it, you must press the brake pedal.
Manual Oil Life System Reset
1. Turn on ignition.
2. Push Menu button on the turn signal switch.
3. Use adjustment wheel and select menu â Vehicle Information System.
4. Use adjustment wheel and select menu â Oil Life System
5. Push SET/CLR button on the turn signal switch and push brake pedal at same time.

But it didn't work!
Do I really have to go to the dealer in order to reset it?
Can't I just add oil on my own sometimes...
This is another VX.O.C first retrofit.
I've spent many hours working on getting this retrofit working and I'm not going to give you all the information just so others can start charging people to do this for them.
Please take note this is not a How-to it's a guide for you to check your car to see if you can retrofit AFL
First off you need to check your fuse board in the engine compartment.
Please note these are pictures of a donor board.
Fuse's and relays
12 Adaptive forward lighting module
23 Headlamp washer system
24 Right low beam (Xenon)
25 Left low beam (Xenon)
33 Adaptive forward lighting
K05 KR2 HeadlampWasher Fluid Pump Relay
K06 KR49 Headlamp Low Beam Relay
If you have them it would be safe to say you have all pins underneath but it will pay to double check this.
So Disconnect the Negative terminal of the battery, then undo the 3 10mm bolts (they wont come out) you will feel a slight click when they are undone.
DO NOT REMOVE ANY FUSES OR RELAYS YOU DON'T NEED TO
Next get a trim tool and if you look on each side of the board you will see 2 clips just use the tool and praise them outwards and lift one Conner of the board at a time (Not too far just enough so they are un-clipped)
Then carefully lift the board up may need a wiggle and then turn it over and just make sure the bottom of the board has all pins in (in this picture you can see some are missing).
Refit the board Make sure you do not over tighten the blots but make sure they are done up nice and tight If your car wont start afterwards you've not tightened them up enough.
Parts list with part number's
If there is a * by it it means there two parts which are chassis dependent
Bumper for headlamp washers Part number varies depending on options
headlamp washers Parts varies depending on bumper
Washer bottle Part number varies depending on model
Headlamp washer Hose Part number varies depending on model
Wire
Terminals
All the above prices are for brand new parts if you search around the internet you can find some great bargains like I did The Headlamp control module must be BRAND NEW.
You can also get good deals from dealers etc if you buy a bulk order of parts from them.
Some parts you have to buy in set quantity's (So I have some spare here)
You also need someone who can request the VCI code's via an MDI there is a set way to request the VCI code's for this retrofit as it's not recognized as a retrofit.
If people want this retrofit done I can do it.
It would take a Weekend to do so Friday to Monday as long as GM supply VCI code's on the Monday, the car would have to be left with me as it wont be derivable for safety reasons.
Pricing list
£200 if you supply all the parts including wire terminals & connectors.
Ever since I got my 1.6vvt it vibrates when its hot quite heavily I can feel it in the seat and the steering wheel, plus it knocks for a second or so everytime i stop completely or change from d to r and vibration increases also when ac is on I only did 8500 km its brand new. Dealer told me its bad fuel even though I only use 92 octane from trusted stations. any ideas?
Waiting to take delivery of my new astra 1.4 turbo limited edition hopefully within two weeks just looking to see what mods are being done on these cars
