Astra J 1.7 CDTi "Service Vehicle Soon" warning... Fault finding and repair.

[@mindapothecary]

Wednesday morning content to wake up to. Brilliant.

😊 👍👍👍

Great video as always.. Not a job you can complete with a full tank of fuel... At a guess the fuel would never get to the temp it needs to kick off the process.. Excellent as always..

I have an astra j 1.7 diesel. Quick question I have a message saying service needed soon and right after a message engine speed reduced. It keeps going in limp mode and won’t go over 3,000 revs at times, I have drove over an hour on high revs to try cleaning the dpf but nothing. Any ideas what it could be ?

[@LMAutoRepairs]

The service soon message is a generic message... does not necessarily means it is a dpf issue... Scan the car and see what codes you have... 👍👍👍

[@kingawiatr7197]

@@LMAutoRepairs I have scanned and 2 codes came up which was p2003 and p244b. I cleaned the map sensor but still chugging and loosing power

[@kingawiatr7197]

@@LMAutoRepairs thanks for getting back to me !

[@kingawiatr7197]

And 2 more codes which were P0299 and P242F thanks !

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Hi So, it looks that it can be either dpf, or dpf monitoring system, like the sensor, split pipes, etc... Unfortunately, there is no straightforward answer... you need to check, inspect, test etc... 👍

I have the same car 1.7 diesel and the engine lights keeps coming on always. when I took it the workshop they let me leave for them and later say they have fix it but just 10 miles drive it comes back. Can you help me? Is always say engine power reduced and I am worried

[@LMAutoRepairs]

What are the codes being stored on the ecu? 👍👍👍

[@kofikyei9350]

@@LMAutoRepairs code 84 please

[@LMAutoRepairs]

No... I mean on the ecu... not on the cluster...

[@kofikyei9350]

@@LMAutoRepairs actually I don't know,all that is written is code 84 which means engine power reduced and when I send it to machine they always let me leave the car with them for a day but later the same old thing appears

[@LMAutoRepairs]

If you are paying for those "repairs", go back and let them fix it... If you don't have how to read the codes from the ecu, there is not a lot I can advise... Code 84 is a generic code implemented by Opel/Vauxhall as a warning for the driver... Not much in it for diagnostics purposes... Sorry...

[@ermirseriani7717]

Good morning Luis,how are you,i wonna buy an expensive tool for cars (diagnostic,programing,remapping,immo keys teacher,ectr) plz suggest me witch is the best than u ever heard,thx

[@LMAutoRepairs]

There is no such thing as "one fits all"... For all of that, you will need different tools... The IM608, for example, is quite complete on diagnostics and keys, but will not do them all... Remapping, that's needs it own tools, and again, there is no tool that does all the ecus... It is an expensive and complicated subject... 😊

[@ermirseriani7717]

I really know that but one of my friend suggested me to buy abrites original

[@waynewatson5437]

Great videos as always mate. I have Vauxhall Zafira B 2014, would u mind having a look at it??

[@neilmurphy845]

Could you drive it slow like around town at high revs at 4

[@user-xw5kk1mu3m]

I have Vauxhall Astra sri2012 and I can’t see my mileage and speed please help

[@alexbartlett9299]

Have a 2014 1.7 desiel xdti ecoflex give me service engine soon message and go's into limp mode no boost , turn the car off and back on and it's fine. Any ideas ?

[@alexbartlett9299]

Also the start and stop only works occasionally

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Scan the car... otherwise it can be a guess game... 👍👍👍

[@alexbartlett9299]

@@LMAutoRepairsthe code came up as fuel regulator problems there was like 5 possible faults on the code that came up all fuel regulator, the car as been stood for a few months. Would you suggest chance the fuel regulator or try put some additives cleaner through the system and run it before I do the change ? Thanks

[@LMAutoRepairs]

You can try that... What faults exactly? Live data, what live data shows when that happens?

What is that break light I have the same one on my car

Which brake light are you referring to? 👍👍👍

mid week special love it thanks luis

[@LMAutoRepairs]

😊 Thanks! 👍👍👍

[@evieemaya88]

Great video. Some food for thought. Oyu may want to put your videos into brand of vehicle e.g Vauxhall Astra, Bmw 1 series. This way it make it easier for new viewers to binge watch your videos and get the views up

☺️ 👍👍👍

[@craigtrigg4288]

my service car soon come on but went off on my astra j 2.0 cdti

[@craigtrigg4288]

can i still drive the car if it comes on again

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Hi Probably... But that should have logged a fault on the ecu... Scan the car and see what is happening... 👍👍👍

[@user-xw5kk1mu3m]

Are you based in London

Hi, I have Vauxhall Astra 2017 1.6 diesel with same fault. Can you help me please

[@LMAutoRepairs]

If the fault is the same, the fix is on the video... How exactly do you expect me to help? 👍👍👍

@@LMAutoRepairs I don’t have the computer system

[@LMAutoRepairs]

You need to have the car scanned, you can have the same symptoms caused by a different problem... But you can always do some checks as I did... 👍👍👍
