Vauxhall Astra

For the Astra G (Mk 4) models, the gearbox does not have a specific oil filler hole. The reversing light switch can however be unscrewed for this purpose, but as it is quite a small hole, and not in a very convenient position, it is helpful to use an oil can with a flexible spout. There is an oil level plug which must also be removed to ensure that the gearbox is not overfilled. This is located by the left hand drive shaft, and can be difficult to access. The operation should, of course, be carried out with the car on the level.

requires tech2 from obd prob only gonna be a vaux tech who can do it

Can't do it unless you fit a custom kit. Wouldn't recommend it though, get a MK4 with CC instead.

You don't unless they all go out! They are really difficult to change. You need to remove the CD player, cigarette lighter, ash tray and heater knobs. Then all of the plastic trim surrounding those components. Then change the bulb and put it all back together. Took me three hours to do it.

Oil light senses oil pressure not oil level

Possible causes could include:

Failed air-con on/off switch.

Wiring fault.

Compressor clutch fault.

Blown fuse.

No gas in system.

the clutch on the compressor has a fuse and it was blown.

i soldered across the fuse and the clutch is now working.

also if there is not enough gas the clutch will not engage as well.

Bring to a shop that has an ABS scanner to determine the problem

open boot,left and right side there is a vented cover behind cluster,take off and you will find on each cluster assembly two large plastic knurled knobs,unscrew one at a time,the last knob hold cluster till loosened,pull cluster rearwards from body,disconnect multi plug(clips need to be opened)bulb assembly is unclipped from housing,refit do opposit to removal

depends on engine size i,ve got a 2.0 d.t.i and use comma xstream g30 (red)

The pump its self is only held on with a few bolts just undo them.

Now remove all the pipes that are attached to the pump. ( clamp the pipe that leads to the power steering fluid reservoir or you will have a mess! )

now refit in reverse order!

Basically if you remember how you got it off it should go back on.

If you want to use fresh fluid which is advisable as it only costs a few quid carefully undo the pipe with the clamp on into a suitable container and then once reassembled refill from the reservoir.

Now turn your pump by hand a few times to make sure you have fluid in it before you replace the drive belts.

Note do not over tighten the belt this can lead to straining of the pump bearings.

This job took me about 45 min and saved me about 100 quid.

The pump cost me 80 quid but you can prob find cheaper pumps.

Good luck

you dont need to you can buy sick on shields (halfords/partco) or any car shop.

should be 1 on left hand corner of dashboard in corner of window!

If you have a vectra B its on the panel in the drivers door a black sticker with white writing

Try fuse 17, bottom row 2nd from left.

take key out of ignition and then press and hold the mileage reset button then insert key and turn on ignition whilst still holding the button down till lights on dash come on then hold till "insp" light comes on then light will reset it self. also these instructions are in the drivers handbook

keeps coming on trip consumpion on clock how do i take it off

If it's like mine remove the black panel in the corner of the boot. Disconnect the wires. there should be two bolts that will unscrew by hand. the light unit should come off with ease. to get access lift up the clips on the back of the light unit and you will get access to change the bulbs. hope this helps

U have to drop the front bumper and take the lights out or twist the wires and pull slightly till they come out hope this helps

If you open the bonnet, then look down behind the front bumper, it is normally right in the middle of the bumper just in front of the radiator

To remove the ignition barrel you need to be able to turn the key to position II. On the barrel casing you are looking for a small hole in to which you insert something like an Allen Key. The barrel can then be extracted. If you can't turn to the second position then its time to get the drill out and carefully drill the contents of the barrel. It's worth tapping the casing with a hammer whilst turning the key if the barrel has stuck before drilling.

where is the location for a vauhall zafira 2004 reversing switch

You will have no symptoms that it needs to be changed. Also looking at it will not tell you whether it needs to be changed or not as it may look good and be ready to break. For this reason timing belts are required to be changed at a set mileage or years interval. Referred to your owners manual as to the maintenance schedule on the timing belt. It varies with manufacturer from 60,000 miles 110,000 miles.

don't know for certion, but could it be 'traction control'?

first you need to run the engine so it warms up. turn it off then disconnect the pipes(you need to run the engine so its easier to take the pipes off otherwise your gonna struggle) then un do all the bolts, when you take the valve off their is gonna be water pouring out of the engine as it is the engine coolant. when you have took it all off including the gasket give it a good clean so that when put the new one on it will seal properly. then when you have done that put it in place put the bolts back in tighten them up replace pipes and top up your engine coolant and jobs a good un.
