Astra H Useful Secrets Revealed

in this video I'll show you some useful secrets on the vauxhall / Opel Astra H.

[@bumbleo8993]

Thank you for taking the time to put this together, very useful 👍

[@vehicle53]

Your welcome 👍

[@portikendre9994]

Very useful, very clearly explained . I have the wagon version. Good cars, good enough maneuverability,and very comfortable for a family. It has a good quality: cheap parts,and relatively easy to repair and maintain

[@3amekdrake]

Only the Airco filter is a pain in the A##. It's behind the glove box.

[@vehicle53]

Yes it's a bit difficult to get to, but there is definitely alot worse out there. Some of the Renault cabin filters for example

[@muhammedmekec4663]

manevrası iyi değil...

[@elvisrizvic7940]

Thank you heaps helped l would like to no do astros run at a high temperature but no over heating

[@matteo_syd7271]

That Astra is in mint condition. One thing I know of that isn't in the video is if you push the light dial in and turn it to the right it will reveal a secret little stash spot. It's not as useful as the stuff you went through but it's not something most people don't know about.

[@decelerate1202]

Useful, new owner , thx!

[@vehicle53]

Your welcome. 👍

[@almircelahmetovic8333]

Does this work on all astras? Mine is 2004 and it seems it doesnt have that.

[@shaneconway5919]

Hi great video, have a AU twin top 2009. One thing that has alluded me do the head light turn off once the door has been opened. My other ride 2008 Toyota Prado has this feature. Does anyone out there know this? TIA

[@user-je8pl6yz2i]

I just bought this today as my first car🎉

[@vehicle53]

Congratulations. They are a fairly decent car. Easy to repair if needed.

[@ANDREW28SMITH]

HI very useful video just want ask about headlights stay on 30 sec when u leave car, now have you got to do this all time u want use feature as mine wont do it everytime ?

[@vehicle53]

Yes you have to do it every time. 👍

[@LS19MUFC]

I have a sxi 59 plate astra snd there is no warnning or indicator sounds any way to get them louder

[@WamoAR]

How do you make it where you can see the gal/h like yours? Mine says the range miles but i want it to permanently say the gal/h like yours

[@vehicle53]

I think if you have the engine idling and your not moving it displays gal/h but once you start driving it will change to mpg

[@andreviviers9122]

🤩

[@marcinjackowski7396]

Very useful!! Thank you. 1 more. How to make it to automatically lock all doors while u start driving?

[@pablllo010]

Not possible

[@georgefinn683]

Maybe press and hold door lock button 30secs works on some other vauxhall models

[@stevep641]

Vxr doesn’t have temp gauge. Didn’t know about the lights staying on for a bit🤙🏻

[@vehicle53]

I thought it did... my mistake

[@133taxi]

Great video cheers , does this work on a 2007 astra sri ?

[@vehicle53]

Should do. I don't see why it wouldnt

[@planixi]

Hi. Do you know how to change the screen to show km/L instead of L/100km? And how to set the outdoor temperature gauge to C instead of F?

[@vehicle53]

Sorry I don't. I haven't got 1 to test at the moment

[@hamzaelouahabi6791]

hello, press the setting button, go to system, browse with vol up vol down buttons to go to units and voilà you can change all the units

[@planixi]

@@hamzaelouahabi6791 I found it, Thanks.

[@user-bx4ow1be1q]

How might you cancel all the fault codes?

[@itsmaninho]

A question I've had for some time, is it true that the Opel makes calls? I've always heard this but I don't know how to connect to Smartphone ..

[@danoates5292]

Don't think the Astra H has that, it was added into the Astra J

[@vehicle53]

No Bluetooth unfortunately. Maybe a headphone jack but that's it.

[@adrian-raceanu]

Astra h has a original Bt UHP unit and mic plus tech and up to programming but nedds also a cid display and at least cd70 navi

[@Fallen_Chimera]

I'm actually thinking about getting one of these first thing after passing my driving test, but I just wanna ask one question How do you cancel the indicators on a car like this?

[@fares5751]

You have two options when indicating, a half push or a full push. If you full push but you want to turn it off, then half push and it will turn off immediately. I think almost every car that has those type indicators will have that feature.

[@vehicle53]

Yeah what @fares5751 said

[@libbegreen3472]

I have an Astra and it was my first car and i couldn’t love it anymore, definitely get one😊

[@gazhughes1439]

Hi may be a stupid question but have noticed that the fuel light doesn't have the little arrow telling you what side the cap is on,,,any ideas why thanks

[@vehicle53]

Not sure why. I guess they missed it when they designed the display.

[@koreenalookham2424]

It tells you by which side the pump handle is on

[@TheErick46950]

The dealer didn’t tell me any of this when I bought the car new

[@roberbrasero683]

OT you said stand for Engine temperature, in the video appeared 72, how do we know what’s the right number? 72 what ? Celsius? Fahrenheit?

[@fares5751]

You chose in settings which one you would prefer.

[@jonathanwhitmore1926]

It would be Celsius as he didn't have it running long and normal temp is 90 Celsius

[@samsonline3456]

Just got this car the other day great car but only 1 speaker is working the 1 in the dash any help anyone thanks

[@vehicle53]

I would book it into a dealer because you will likely need the wiring schematic to accurately find your fault. Check your fade settings to make sure it's not that first. It's in the audio options.

[@Pete6594]

New owner do these have cruise control?

[@vehicle53]

Depends on the spec. It will have the buttons on the stalk if it does. Sometimes it can be fitted with a stalk and clutch switch and coding if the wiring is there for it.

[@dr.drakeramore2740]

@@vehicle53 Mine is the 1.8 Auto. Has everything ready but can't find the software to update it and enjoy the autopilot. 😞 Cheers for the video.

[@vehicle53]

There isn't a software to enable it. It will need to be coded in. Your control units have a list of what is installed on your vehicle and this will have to be changed to reflect that you have cruise control for it to work. If the wiring is already there then you would replace the stalk for the version with the cruise control buttons on it then possibly your clutch switch then I would go to the dealer and ask them to enable cruise control for you. It will need to be enabled in the engine control unit, cim, bcm and abs units as well

[@dr.drakeramore2740]

@@vehicle53 Indeed. Thank you.

[@buggs9950]

@@dr.drakeramore2740 Opcom is a USB dongle and software package that offers dealer-level diagnostics and will let you turn on cruise control. You will need a laptop running XP but the whole set up will almost certainly be cheaper than one trip to the dealers.

[@anthony342]

you forgot you can adjust the wiper speed

[@vehicle53]

Yes didnt think about that 1. You mean the intermittent wiper speed right? When you push down first then up to slightly increase the speed?

[@anthony342]

@@vehicle53 yes

[@HilmaItana]

After I brought my vauxhall astra to car wash , it came with 4x4 lights on 7:24

[@whu58]

How do you cancel the parking lights?.............you didn`t show this.

[@jonathanwhitmore1926]

Just start the engine

[@axeevent10]

13,5 V is low, minimum is 13.8 V Better check alternator

[@vehicle53]

Still within spec.
