Thanks Jay. I've just got to bite the bullet and get it replaced then hound Vauxhall. It's clearly a well known issue and they should take responsibility

Hi Jay. Any progress on your car? I'm due at Vauxhall on Friday and been quoted almost £1400 if they have to replace the unit

Hi Alison, After returning from the dealership, I reached out to Vauxhall customer service as the dealer had advised. They informed me that they would contact the dealer and get back to me. After waiting a week, they called to relay the same information I had already received from the dealer: the radio needs to be replaced. I expressed my dissatisfaction, emphasizing that Vauxhall should cover the replacement costs since the radio malfunctioned as a result of the updates they recommended. Customer service then closed my case but said they would forward my concern to the credit department (this occurred last Friday, April 4th). Today, I received a call from customer service suggesting I bring in all the invoices from my previous car services to potentially receive a discount on the radio replacement. I responded, stating that I do not want a discount from the dealer; I want Vauxhall to take responsibility for the damage caused and pay for the radio replacement. I am still awaiting a response from them. Vauxhall is clearly unwilling to take responsibility for the damage they have caused us, which is unacceptable. A cost of £1400 or even £1100 is significant. Why is the only solution to completely replace the radio, instead of providing us with a different file to resolve the issue?

Hoping so. Haven't took her out yet,as doing lots of the little Jobs I've been putting off. Next o the list is front wheel bearing as lost all gauges.

Yes you definitely need to register the new battery, I got my local garage to do this, then in takes a day or so to learn the ECU Try to buy same spec battery or you will have to charge pram file if option available for your new battery as well as telling car new battery fitted, Just buy same for same it’s less hassle.

My folding cup holder in the centre consle won't go back into the flush upright position. Any fixes.?

Might be worth trying an impact gun (pneumatic or battery) which will spin the nuts off

oh crikey I can imagine that makes a huge difference to the car Andy?

if you take it to a dealer they should be able to identify it and provide a new one

I'm in the garage again today with mine. I spoke to a few guys at work the other day and they said that if I've had a new battery fitted, which I have, that it might need recoding? I've not heard of this before but I'm clueless with cars but I'm going to mention it when I arrive. It's a Vauxhall specialist so will see what they come up with but not keen on the idea of replacing parts for nothing to actually change so want to make sure I know where I stand with that as they can take the new parts back if it doesn't fix the problem!!

I have this code 68 come on every so often but I've noticed if I park in gear without handbrake (electric handbrake) the code doesn't come on the next time I start the car however when applying handbrake the starting the car code 68 I had the car scanned diagnostics and code U0121-00 is displayed not this is the handbrake failing to engage with the car and ideas where to start sort out handbrake module or power steering code 68

Did anyone get the problem sorted of excessive oil usage, i have a 2019 crossland x full service history from vauxhall aart from the recent service in February however have been having issues with oil usage since September last year, just has lid, gaskets and cap changed 10 days ago and oil refilled but light back on this morning only got 44000 on clock

Hi I'm having the same issue did you manage to sort this?

for sale astra convertible 2002 Engine 2.2 manual gearbox Log book says its grey . To me looks more like silver with a blue tint and pearl .( ideally reqs a respray ) 90k mileage Reason for sale moving to thailand .. Car is in eastbourne east Sussex Email me ldgautos@mail.com

Hi, I replaced my engine mount yesterday. I believe I've had my mileage out of it. It seems a little worn.

Hi everyone, I'm in the process of doing maintenance on the astra. I am going to do a coolant flush and refresh, and also sort out the egr system. Does the coolant work with the egr, as I've noticed that the heater pipes are connected to the pipework from egr. And would having a clogged coolant system cause the egr to misbehave? Thanks in advance Andy

Hi, Hope this works for you. These lights been on for about 5 months for me now, it’s doesn’t matter whether it’s hot or cold, they are constantly on every time I start the car now, and have been for months. At the start it was more intermittent. At my wits end with it now, hope we can all find a solution.

Hi all, Hopefully this has been fixed, or at least on track to getting it fixed The multiple errors come on after any fault code logging as a Confirmed fault. After quite abit of fault finding found the front of radiator flaps switch to be broken, the car mainly faulting when it was cold so don’t know if totally out of the woods. Mind was emissions related, car was trying to do a regen but couldn’t get to the correct temperature to finish cycle, now done until probably the next regen or when cold all seems ok. Trying to source new fount flap unit as broken. Fitting the new battery also improves matters. Will keep you all posted. Cheers Mark

Hi, I have had this problem for six months now, as previously mentioned the ABS sensors have been changed, bearings etc. Up until now nothing has worked, with still no solution.

It has happened again, once more on entering a roundabout. It would not restart in either Park and Neutral. So what happened last time must have been coincidental. I left it for 15 minutes and tried again. It started and ran normally for the rest of the journey.

Hi all. this is my first post. I have had similar problems. The car went in for brake disks change but the garage had difficulty getting the rear disk off. In the process they damaged the ABS sensor. I then got all the warning lights as mentioned above. A new ABS sensor didn't cure the problem but fitting a genuine Vauxhall one did clear most of the warning lights. The problem is I still have an engine warning light that wont reset. Error Code P1349. That's a MOT failure and It wont reset although the car seems to work perfectly. Any Ideas?
