Vauxhall Owners Club

Hi...welcome to the Forum Are the headlamp bulbs that poor lighting? Would have thought that a 2018 car should have quite good lighting technology (e.g. HID)

Hi....welcome to the Forum The best way to accurately calculate the fuel consumption of your car is to fill the tank to the brim and reset the odometer. Drive for a distance of mixed motoring and then top back up. This will then give you the fuel used and the distance covered....make the calculation and you have a truly accurate reading. Any of the onboard mpg readouts will always only use an average and then after a distance, it will float around the average which is then less inaccurate until you reset it.

it certainly does look the business and by all accounts drives pretty damn well to boot Shame Vauxhall don't have the investment to take their vehicles further into the 21st century but who knows what Peugeot will do with the company in the near future

Hi....welcome to the Forum You could try this company and see if they can help you https://www.windowregulatorman.co.uk/ Let us know how you get on with it all

Hi....welcome to the Forum Try these guys . http://www.eurocats.co.uk/

I would say that it is more than likely a wiring fault in the injector loom or an injector fault. Measure the resistance of the injectors (disconnected) and compare to tech specifications. Carefully examine the wiring loom across to the injectors for chaffing or broken wiring that could cause a short circuit

Great result all round Andy 🙂

Hi Barry....welcome to the Forum I would start with scanning for any fault codes and see what comes up Let us know what you find as you go through the diagnosis

siggyv6cdti Wow! where do you drive to and from to rack up 200 miles per day to travel to work? I was recently running a 2.2 CR-V and it too gave me around 45 - 50 mpg (higher readings were with a tuning box) and thought that was good.

Hi....welcome to the Forum There are several things that are necessary for a DPF to regenerate and operate efficiently. Firstly, it needs to be driven correctly, which if you do 500 miles per week, I imagine that it is on motorways and other major A roads, in which case the average speed would be around 50 - 70 miles per hour. This is fine for a regen and should keep the engine and exhaust system emissions clean. Also, the correct engine oil should be used (low ash content) and also good quality fuel is good to use. So it looks like your car is regenning as it should now Cheers, Trevor

They are a fine looking car...suprised they haven't sold more as you don;t see many driving around

that's the only way to gather enough information to determine if there are known faults and how to rectify them.

docks

absolutely fine machine Siggy....looks the business!

Yes, it would be good to know how it is progressing, thanks for suggesting that Siggy

I'm sure there will be plenty of time to do all these jobs during our predicted heatwave this summer 😎

Already started on my running repairs on the Z3 in between the rain showers

Hope she recovers soon Andy Its worth the back flush first and then maybe look at sensors after then

just keep trying ebay I guess....I'm sure something will come up eventually Not sure if the lens has been used for any other models that may fit?

Hi and welcome to the Club

Another great result....now to finish off those little jobs and stay on top of the maintenance and it should last for years 🙂

Oh dear....well at least all the bolts will be free to move from the last time they were undone 🙂 every cloud has a silver lining as they say

Maybe a reverse flush with a hosepipe will be enough to clear it through

I sometimes find taking a photo (with the flash on) behind the headlight assembly, even though you can't see it then at least you have an image to refer to

Hi .... welcome to the Forum Wow....that's not what you want to find, what was causing the damage? Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor
