Vauxhall Owners Club

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

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

Is it steaming up inside the vehicle? - if so then heater matrix may be the cause If its not being burnt through the exhaust (white smoke) then maybe its leaking into the engine oil - oil will appear milky in colour Also, check the coolant pressure cap is okay or renew as this can lower the pressure in the system leading to a lower boiling point and losing it through steam from the expansion tank

Sounds like the mirror connection wasn't plugged back in after the work on the window regulator was carried out? Heated rear screen could be many things causing it not to work but worth checking the elements on the glass are intact and electrical connections are in secure

I wonder if there is a break in the wires leading from the body to the tailgate pull back the rubber gaiter and see if there are broken wires in there

Gear oil is too heavy grade possibly (although quite unlikely in UK) - manual transmission ?

Glad to hear the light has been put out and intermittent faults can randomly occur but when they constantly come up then some further investigation is required As for a tuning box. I successfully lived with one on my Honda CRV and it was a superb piece of kit. Downside to it is that something is always a weak point and in my case it was the clutch (self adjusting) where too much torque was instantly delivered and overwhelmed the adjustment springs/wedges causing it to slip. Otherwise so much more driveable with it in normal mode, better mpg and performance.....would happily fit another one to a car (with a stronger clutch). If you find there is a marked improvement on low setting then maybe just leave it there

It could well be something that is vibrating at a certain speed/rpm, so if this is the case I would check for wheel imbalance (usually occurs around 60mph and then disappears over that speed) to eliminate any vibration being transferred through the vehicle. As long as the engine is healthy and fresh oil, filter, etc then it may be a process of elimination.

let us know how you get on with it Sometimes it can be a faulty aerial (part that reads the key in the ignition lock barrel area)
