Vauxhall Frontera

There could be several reasons your Frontera's remote central locking isn't working. Common issues include a dead battery in the remote, faulty wiring or connections in the locking system, or a malfunctioning central locking module. Additionally, ensure that the remote is properly programmed to your vehicle, as sometimes reprogramming may be necessary. If these steps don't resolve the issue, it may be best to consult a professional mechanic for further diagnosis.

The oil light on a Vauxhall Frontera Sport 2.0 may come on when the oil gets hot at idle due to low oil pressure, which can occur when the oil thins out at elevated temperatures or if the oil level is low. This can lead to insufficient lubrication for the engine components, triggering the oil warning light. It's important to check the oil level and condition, as well as the oil pump's functionality, to ensure proper oil circulation. If the issue persists, it may indicate a more serious problem that requires professional inspection.

If the front driver door of your Vauxhall Meriva won’t open with central locking, but will close, it could be due to a faulty actuator or a wiring issue in the door loom. Water ingress can also cause corrosion, impacting the locking mechanism. Since Vauxhall has replaced the control unit, you might want to check for moisture or damage in the door wiring and ensure the actuator is functioning properly. A thorough inspection of these components may help diagnose the problem further.

Depends on the vehicle and tire size. -Check at your tire store, this is not something you should guess.

Vacuum hose off?

I had this problem, you have to replace the indicator arm, switch. Look for one on e bay as they are expensive. Easy job to do, steering wheel off. unplug the wires and remove unit , two screws.

you cant the imobiliser is programmed in the ecu, take it to a vaux dealer

It has fuel or spark problems. Next time it doesn't start check for spark. If it has good spark it must be a fuel issue. Maybe a failing fuel pump. Try spraying a little starting fluid down into the throttle body and try to start it. If you get some response you probably have a fuel problem.

my vauxhall dealer gave me a photo copy just go in and ask i did

At the back, obviously :/

Remove bottom hose

35 psi loaded

I bet its a "B" series. If so, its caused by a faulty printed circuit. Very common fault.

There are several ways, it depends what your plans for the vehicle are. Join FOG, "Frontera Owners Group" and you will find all you need there.

It is telling you that there is a fault with the engine - you need to take it to a dealer and get it diagnosed and repaired as soon as possible.

Drivers foot well behind the kick plate on the A pillar

The raised centre faces the clutch cover mate. Flatter surface to the flywheel.

The plate is usually marked "front" though.

Heater blower is underneath dashboard on the left side of the glovebox in passenger footwell - 4 screws secure blower motor - undo these & pull blower assembley down, then unplug wiring. My blower simply seized up - 2 screws hold motor assembly into cover (1 screw is only seen when the block on the side of cover is prised off) Assembly can be prised away from cover & bronze bearings then cleaned & re-greased & brushes checked. Armature was a bit rough so re-cleaned carefully using drill to turn & some decent sandpaper to re-finish & slots cleaned with Stanley knife blade. There is also a resistor pack behind the glovebox which needed re-soldering. (motor seized - resistor pack heated up & melted the solder) Two screws on hinges at bottom of glovebox to undo then remove glovebox - resistor pack has two screws to undo then pull out & unplug 5 pin plug. Resistor pack says on it "do not repair" ..... I pulled mine apart - 4 crimped ends to un-crimp using small flat screwdriver - middle connector on mine had let go and had to be re-soldered back on. A metal plate is used to retain resistor pack assembly into the plastic heating vent - this shouldn't travel too far & I used a small piece of duck tape to hold this plate ready for re-fitting.

== == == == Simply put: "you can't" Long winded version:

The immobiliser function is built into the car in two ways. Firstly, there is an immobiliser ECU (Electronic Control Unit) normally situated on the steering column behind the ignition switch, that also incorporates a "reader coil" that reads the serial number off of the immobiliser chip in the ignition key. This ECU reads the chip number, and if the number it gets from the chip matches one of the numbers it expects, tells the fuel-injection ECU words to the effect of "Chip Recognised".

Secondly, the Fuel injection ECU will allow the engine to continue to run after you have stopped cranking the engine only if it has received the "chip recognised" signal from the immobiliser ECU.

The system has been designed to make it VERY hard to bypass, as if it was easy, it would not work well as an anti theft system.

You would probably need to re-wire the fuel injection system to work using a fuel injection ECU from a car that was built before 1995 (when the system came into use) that had the same engine as the Frontera.

This will be far more expensive and time consuming that just buying a new key and getting it programmed to the car.
