Vauxhall Astra

0.7mm.

82bhp

it depends entirely on the engine and year really. the C14NZ from mk3 astra's was only 60bhp

According to my little book the car with a spanner is the indicator for the engine electronics and immobilizer. It should go out after the engine has started, if not you may have an electronic fault logged on the ECU

All Kia engines that use timing belts must be replaced at 60,000 miles. The timing belts they use have no leeway. I sell engines, and get calls for Kia engines all the time, simply because someone was cheap and didn't replace. Kia belts WILL pop betwen 61k and 65k.

As someone who owns a 2004 Kia Rio, I can confirm the above answer. I was told by the dealership that it needs to be done every 60,000 miles and that if it goes out, it takes the engine with it and will need to be replaced. Well, I listened to my father who thought these cars are like American cars when it comes to the timing belt. WRONG!!! I let it go 10,000 miles past and I'm telling you....at 70,000 the belt went and so did the engine! It cost me almost $4000 to put another engine in it when it would've cost only about 10% of that to just replace the timing belt. LESSON LEARNED! I'm getting it changed 10,000 miles early next time!

On the outside, the dimensions of the new Vauxhall Astra are among the largest in the segment: at 4.25 metres (167.3in.) long, 1.75 metres (68.8in.) wide, 1.46 metres (57.5in.) high and with a 2.61 metre (102.7in.) wheelbase, it is 35mm (1.37in.) higher, 44mm (1.73in.) wider and 139mm (5.47in.) longer than the current model.

Without know what the warning light say's, all I can tell you in Yellow means caution.

Hello, From what I know, the fuse box must be in the same position for every 98-05 astra. In the left-side steering wheel models, the fuse box is on the left, under the steering wheel, and behind the small compartment. On the right-side steering, I suppose it's got to be mirrored (all the way right, in the small compartment box). To get to it, you have to take out the lid from the plastic hinges, then use a screwdriver to turn the 4 screws half a turn.

With 18" alloys its 33psi in the front and 30psi in the rear. Cheers.

It is normally located in the centre console between the gear lever and handbrake lever.

there should be a sticker with that diagram on it under your hood somewhere.

Diesel 406 gear box removal is best done with the use of an inspection pit and is as follows: * Strip all obstructions from above the engine, battery, air box, air pipes, starter motor ect. * strip obstructions from underneath * Drain gear box oil- this is a bit smelly and should be about 2ltrs but some models will be 3.5ltrs * raise the front wheels off the ground and support on axle stands * support the gear box and engine sump separately - a bottle jack is ideal * undo the gear box mount from under the battery area * disconnect the drive shaft from the near side * disconnect the speed sensor * disconnect the clutch cable and remove lever * undo the gear box / clutch casing bolts (there is no gasket on refitting) * slide off the gear box and casing Whilst the gear box is off is an ideal time to check clutch wear. Many 406 gear box / clutch housings do not have an inspection window, so great care needs to be taken when refitting a gear box to ensure the clutch is evenly connected. For doing this at home / DIY allow a full day for removal and refitting. Ensure the ignition key is not in the car when the battery is refitted, some systems will activate the central locking, and finally ensure you have the stereo code to hand once all work is complete. The detail above is based on work I carried out in the last few weeks, a Haynes Manual will give a full description of the procedure with pictures.

For a Vauxhall Combo Crew Van 1.7D, the cambelt change is generally recommended every 60,000 to 80,000 miles, or every 5 to 7 years, depending on driving conditions and maintenance history. It's essential to consult the owner's manual or a qualified mechanic for specific guidance tailored to your vehicle's needs. Regular inspections can help ensure that the cambelt is in good condition and prevent potential engine damage.

To set the timing on a 1997 Opel Astra 160IE, first ensure that the engine is at TDC (top dead center) on the compression stroke of cylinder one. Remove the timing belt cover and check the alignment of the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft pulleys. Adjust the timing belt tension as needed and recheck the alignment before reassembling everything. Finally, start the engine and check for smooth operation, making any necessary adjustments.

Bypassing the immobiliser on a 1998 Opel Astra typically involves accessing the vehicle's wiring and modifying the connections, which can be complicated and may vary based on the specific immobiliser system installed. This process can also pose legal and ethical concerns, as it may be considered tampering or theft if done without proper authorization. It's recommended to consult a professional locksmith or a certified mechanic who specializes in automotive security systems for assistance. Always consider the legal implications of bypassing such systems.
