2014 Vauxhall Astra J Part 2 - service September 2017

- The "code 82" came up on this car again and it had an oil change 12 months previously so it was the perfect opportunity to give the car a service as well. I sourced the parts from my local Vauxhall dealer (JCT600 in Bradford) and I'd like to point out that I've NOT been sponsored by them or Vauxhall. I paid the normal price which was quite reasonable and probably on a par with good quality aftermarket items. Anyway I hope you enjoy this video and I hope it helps anyone who is considering a service on the Astra J.

The engine code on this car is A14XER

I just thought I'd let you know that I'm going to redo this video from scratch as I still have the original footage. Once it has been uploaded. I'll post the link. I'll be keeping this video up as well.
Putting in New Air Filter with Dirty Gloves On ! And Don’t Even Get me Started About Leaving the Old Oil Filter to Drain All over the Engine Cover .
bobthebass72 My thoughts exactly 🙈 lol
funnel
noun
1.
a tube or pipe that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, used for guiding liquid or powder into a small opening
i think you might be a bit carefully. it's raining and you are refilling oil (with oil plug open), the whole engine open and drained oil to the engine.
Wont make any difference
I have an astra j 1.4 non turbo and the engine code is A14xer, I change my oil every 6 months and use good quality oil. Want to hopefully avoid the dreaded timing chain issues!
You're doing the right thing there. Genuine parts from the dealer aren't always expensive so they're worth a try.
And baby wipes won’t do anything to remove old oil
Thank you for this video. 😊
Good video mate 👍🏻
But why did you place the old oil filter on top of the engine cover? 🙈🙈 lol
I was working at the roadside. I'm much better equipped these days with the use of a single garage and more tools to hand.
Parknest Aah I see. I hate criticising anyone’s work, but I couldn’t help it when I saw you place it on the clean engine cover 😆 lol
But otherwise it was good work 👍🏻
Use a funnel dude. Looks you you spilt more on the engine cover than stuck in the engine
Had some difficulty understanding the chap. Is that a dialect?
Great DIY video...
Brill video. I've got the 1.6 sri version. Any chance of getting a video of a coolant change?
Sadly not. The car has been sold by the owner (my partner's son).
How do you change the coolant.
El filtro de combustible?
Fuel filter?
Hi, great vid! Can you remember what size spark plug socket is needed for replacing? Keep up the good work
Sorry, I don't remember. The engine code for this particular Astra is in the description if that helps any.
Hiya. I used a 16mm to change the spark plugs on my 2011 astra j
@@susanmcpake2396 hi, did you use
NGk Iridium spark plugs?
Tia.
Do you need to replace the Oil
Pressure Switch, when you change the oil , on the Astra J ,
Thanks in advance
Paul.
It isn't necessary unless it is faulty.
@@Parknest Thanks Mate, your videos are great, BTW and Saved
Me a fortune in , Service, costs
At my local garage, Stay Safe.
Regards,
Paul.
@@laupmacone Glad they helped you. My videos are "how I did it" but I try to do things correctly.
Great video I was looking for something like this. To make it easier to find and get.more views I would add that it's a vauxhall astra J or k and also I would change your thumbnail picture to a picture of the astra so people see the model, as I went past this a few time as I thought it was the old.model astra. Keep it up
Thanks for your comment. I haven't got the hang of thumbnails yet (I just let YT do it automatically) but I've amended the title so that potential viewers know. I know the Astra K came out not long after this car was built.
Parknest thanks great and keep it up. You may want to type in on RUclips on how to change your thumbnail. As you do have the only comprehensive serv8ce video for astra K. So you may have a gem.on your hands. Also don't forget to out your tags on your video.
It isn't my car. You can see my Citroen C4 Grand Picasso parked over the road at the start of the video. The owner has sold the Astra and now has an F30 BMW 3 Series which may be featured in future videos.
Parknest just use a Google image of an astra j. As I said ur the only one on RUclips doing this car so don't want u missing out on what's owed to you
Hello, is your car astra j 1.4 automatic or what type of?
This had the manual transmission. The car wasn't men and is now long gone.
Thank you my friend..
What size bit did u use at 3:50 to remove the oil filter cap?
I've just had a close look at the original footage and I can just make out that it is a 24mm socket that I'd used.
@@Parknest also, is it necessary to undo the the screw from the bottom of the oil filter to release the dirt or is that only for diesel cars?
@@Illusionz-de2mo I haven't a clue. Sorry.
You need to learn to take your time, that way silly things like dripping oil everywhere and dropping spark plugs won't happen, also using the engine block as a resting place for tools and parts is an accident waiting to happen
This was quite some time ago. Things have moved on and I hope I've improved since then. Why do people have to criticize an old video? As Doc Brown would so often say to Marty: You're not thinking four dimensionally.
Good video, but you sure do hurry a lot and made quite a mess
That was 18 months ago. I've got the use of a garage now so no more roadside repairs or servicing.
@@Parknest Good to hear, keep up the good work :)
You are not servicing my car....what a mess you make of it
This video was from 3 years ago...
You just make to much mess,very clumsy!Old oil filter on engine cover,spilling oil all over the engine?And first thing you have to do is to check if you can take the filter cap off,if you drain the oil and can't take filter cap off you are in big trouble!Then you can't move your car.
This was a few years ago. I hope I've improved since then. In the words of Doc Brown: You're not thinking four dimensionally.
Napkins from Macky D's LOL
Could you be kind and take out the stones from your mouth so everyone can understand what you're saying???
Seems fine to me aside from a bit of wind noise (are you referring to my accent by any chance?). I've got an external mic for the GoPro so it shouldn't be a problem in future videos.
somebodyelse Me Maybe take the wax from your ears and listen a bit better. I can understand every word he’s saying
