is it a manual or auto ?Originally Posted by Skunkwerks
It was advertised for $14990, but got it for less than that after a bit of haggling
Ive pulled it out, disconnected battery, aboiut 2 weeks ago... just to see the difference.
Well its had starting issues before, now its really bad.
Has stalled HEAPS on decelleration, esp. at lights or roundabouts.
Took it to holden a few hours ago, they said it could be the diesel filter playing up in the 35deg heat, and also the low pressure pump may be having probs....
That was for Auto, 107,000 km (seemed pretty good really, compared to national prices etc on carsales.com.au)
Check the motor near the passenger headlight corner for an oil leak, would be from the vac pump gasket and might be responsible. The leak would be right up the top of the motor so it's easy to see.
As for the DPF, it could be through running the box that you now have issues. DPF's do have a cleaning cycle to burn out the carbon they accumulate but I can't remember how or when that takes effect
the green box clogs up the DPF and eventually will kill it.
I was having a read about this on the UK forums. Apparently the crd-2 by DTUK is the only box with a map developed for DPF cars.
like this thread: http://www.astraownersclub.com/vb/sh...d.php?t=337940
I will check again so we can confirm what box it actually is.
From memory on the cable there was a sticker, and 2009 was dated on it.
Also from memory, the dial had 1234567890ABCDEF or something like that.
DTUK CRD-T uses hard drive jumpers, not a dial, as does the CRD-2, they're also red boxes instead of green. It's definitely a DTUK Green Eco 3 that you have

I thought that was the case, and its supposed to be OK for the DPF too.
I will hear form the service huys today, hopefully they unclogged a few sooty looking bits. Then the fun begins!
120,000km on the ODO
Looking into getting a few service parts ready.
Any tips on acquiring the correct numbers for Water pump, timing belt, fuel filter, oil filter for the 8v auto??
Im really lost at looking at past threads and UK sites, some part numbers are jumbled up somewhere...
Also, have a baby on the way. We have decided we want the stock springs & shocks in it (and possibly wheels & tyres)
I need to find a full set, likely will be selling the existing set (or straight swap if possible)
PM me your VIN and what part numbers your after and ill look it up for you mate. Enjoy the astra mate :-)
