You can set the intermittent we interval without holding the switch down. Push down once. Then count the number of seconds interval you want (say 9 seconds) then push the switch up for intermittent wipe. However long you took between pushing down and pushing up, will be the interval you set. It saves you holding the wipers on when they have cleared the screen. Hope that makes sense.
I quite like the Astra H but I really hate not having a temp gauge I know most are “weighted” but at least you know when the engine is up to temperature or near by.
Thanks. Saved me fiddling around with OBD readers etc. A tip for those with an automatic transmission car (Astra AH CD in my case): the auto trans needs to be in 'D'. Does not show the error codes if set to 'P'.
This also works for a Zafira 2006 Auto box, turn the key once (not starting the engine), press the brake pedal, put it in "D", turn off the key, press both pedals and turn the key once again (not to run the engine), MAGIC, Thank you.
Family just bought one used and had a long drive back home and that's when I noticed there's no temp gauge.. very strange choice. So thnx for your tip about that!
I had owned my car for quite a long time before I figured out the wiper timer, but you don't have to hold it down. Just tap down once, then wait for the required time and then tap up once. I hate that auto wiping feature when you spray the screenwash. Last winter I was on the motorway and wanted to spray to clear the salt and road spray from the windscreen. I didn't realise that I was out of screenwash and all that happened was it smeared it all over the windscreen which was even worse. The self-centring indicator stalk had me confused during my test drive, as trying to cancel in the conventional way you end up indicating in the opposite direction. I have since realised the best way to cancel is to tap once in the same direction you are indicating. Takes some getting used to but now it is second nature. Also, a partial tap in either direction gives three flashes in that direction, very handy for lane changes or exiting a roundabout.
I was really surprised with all of this!! I'm an Australian and I own a Holden AH Astra (2006), which is the same as this Opel H, and I had no idea about these hidden features!! Might try them out! Thanks mate from the Land Down Under!!!🇭🇲👍🏻😃
With regards to parking lights. I love the people who park up waiting for someone at night and leave their dipped lights on so you don't know whether or not they're coming toward you at first or if anyone is stood at the side of the car.
Regarding board computer features: in the past I drove diff model/similar functions; 1 of those screens will show gastank contents, in 3 figures: 1st= what sensor measures in tank, 2nd=computer averages out that much changing 1st figure, 3rd is what computer will show you in normal display, and is used in actionradius calculations.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting. I was just looking how to change the time for a friend, but I think I will be able to do it now after watching this.
Only Vauxhall would sell a car with no temp gauge and with hidden features that are essential in emergencies ,lol I'm surprised you don't have to do an Easter egg hunt to find the hazard lights 😂
Some Nissans don't have a temp gauge either. Some BMWs don't have an oil dipstick, and some Mercs, if you take the cover of the brake fluid reservoir to check the level, it disables ABS and flashes some error on the dash. Does go away after driving for a bit, but still ridiculous.
Might be a bit late for the wiper thing, it also remembers the time when you push it down (for once) and then once you see the windscreen is filled with drops, you push it up once(for the timed function). It will also remember the time between both clicks
Why the hell they haven't got a proper temp gage instead of having togo through that shit i will never know , the bloody engine could overheat without knowing, stupid idea from vauxhall .
Had mine a few years and just found out the key remote closes and opens the electric windows. Useful when you've locked the car and forget to close a window.
@@nikdiklic I know this is an old comment but in case anyone else is wondering this- you keep holding down the lock button on key and it will shut all opened windows.
Also a lesser known thing is that on the 3 door models if press and hold the unlock button on the keys you can open your windows and close them buy pressing and holding the lock button.
Thanks for the video, i got this model few weeks back. I am having a tough time understanding the features. Would you know, how do i connect my phone to the stereo if not for music but at least to take calls?
To do that you have to have at least gid screen and the uhp4 Bluetooth module. I have done couple of videos about retrofitting them if you don't have them installed.
@@zedalon I personally got a Bluetooth FM transmitter that plugs into your 12v ciggeret socket from Amazon for £17 worth it's weight in gold... Cheap and cheerful you can talk on your phone through the speakers and also listen to music through your phone...
You can use a 3.5mm jack plug from your phone to the socket next to the handbrake, and switch the radio to AUX, if you have this fitted. That way you can use the phone mic to speak, and the car's speakers/radio to listen.
cool vid thanks. Any idea how to get AUX working on that stereo?? I have the same one and an AUX port by the hand brake but no idea how to get it to work. I have gone into the stereo setting and made sure it is turned on in it. Thanks.
Another Astra H tip.... Go on ebay and buy a "CDC40 Opera Blaupunkt" stereo for the Astra H, complete with a GID screen. They are vastly superior in sound quality, and have a 28 watts per channel RMS amplifier. So are pretty loud !. Way louder than the stock pants CD30 unit.
Well if you're air-con works, the little hole on the right hand side of the glove box is actually a a connection to the heater/cooler system. Meant to have a Little closable valve on but if you can't find one if you just put your finger through it and you'll find a little rubber bung you can pull out and it will put cold air into the grovebox. I was planning to fit the valve but they are hard to find then hen's teeth lol
My favourite feature is the windows. If the windows are down after i get out, hold down the lock key and the windows go down. Same vice-versa. If i have the dog i can unlock the car, hold the unlock button down on the key- windows go down- i can stop it half way- then re-lock the car with the key from a distance if needed. Ie if i take longer than planned at the petrol station or shop
If you get in the car and need to zero the service interval, press and hold the trip meter button ( keep it pressed), then turn the ignition on, whilst still having the trip meter button depressed( don't release yet), and the service will zero itself, back to start,( now take your finger off the trip meter button) hey presto, no need to take vehicle into dealer to reset. Only do this if your like me and service your own vehicle regular.
Got given one of these and the lack of temp gauge is infuriating had a low coolant flash on the dash pulled straight over to find no coolant in it at all
Every Astra has cruise control and the onboard computer built in on build. Change the indicator stalk to the cruise control stalk . Tech 2 needed to switch it on.
Dont be so scary about overheat...when the engine hit the overheat temp u will immidiately see this on dashboard as on any other car..it will inform you...on the other hand when u see the temp on hidden menu u might see it hit 102 to 103 deg on heavy load...totally normal on my astra gtc 2007...more than that is a problem but remember it will inform you...on no load or low rps cruise you will see it 97-98...as said newer models runs hotter water can reach 110 befofe start boiling bc is compressed
Hello my friend hope you can answer my question. I have an astra 2008 and an aftermarket stereo zenec but can't get my temp displayed. How do I do it? Thanks
How about BC, with that display. Did you activate it. I read about it, that is not possible with this kind of display with 2 line text on it. Has to be 3...
I'm in Canada, so for me i have the Saturn(opel) astra xr. i dont have the delayed wipers instead i have rain sensing wipers. the follow me is the same. im going to have to try out some of the others and se if they work on my car.
HI. I have an '09 (actually registered in '10 but it is an '09 model) Astra SRI and i have been a little worried lately that it may be overheating. Might just be paranoia as my last car was overheating, but it is stressing me out that there is no dial on the dash. Your buttons are different to mine (i have no buttons under the screen like you do) so i was wondering if you knew how to get the temperature up on my car? Also, can this be done while the car is actually moving? Can it be put on the display and stay there so that i can monitor the temperature at a glance? I don't understand how you're supposed to know if this call is overheating while you're driving it. I presume that if you wait until a warning light comes on (if there even is one, can't see one illuminated on the dash when i turn the ignition to electrics on) it'll be too late at this point? Really starting to wish i hadn't bought this car. Only did because my old one was dying and i needed something ASAP. I really don't like it. It is the most uncomfortable car i have ever driven. The seat is horrible! Radio sucks too. I have an ipod connected but the sound quality is atrocious. Appreciate any help that you can give me mate.
my V30 line is measuring an entire volt lower than reality, I think yours is reading 0.4 - 0.5 volts lower than reality. I don't know if that's right or wrong but maybe you can trust your £1 thing more than the car just because of the variability of this model. Since they make *lots* of cars (a lot more than they make trinkets like that voltmeter), you can expect them to shave every possible expense from the car - whereas the trinket, on amazon, will go back at great expense to the seller if it's no good at its one and only function.
@@zedalon hey. Thanks for the quick reply. Two buttons along where exactly mate? The guy who listed mine said it had an aux cable installed but I can't see it anywhere.
The buttons are along the bottom of the screen if there no buttons the it will be either a BID,GID or if your very lucky CID screen all of which will give you range.As for the aux if it factory fitted it will be beside the handbrake if not try the grove box
Does anyone know how I can see how to display the amount of kilometres I have in my tank? It use to be displayed but my niece pressed a bunch of buttons and it’s gone now and I can’t seem to get it displayed again 🤕
how the frick do you adjust the headlights? Like aim them, I have found the screw for the "up" and "down" adjustment but I can't find the "left" & "right" adjustment
The fuel range is only available on the BID,GID,Displays. Swapping out the TID isn't to difficult just remember you need a divorced/unit unless you can both screen and stereo from the doner car.
Another trick is .hold down brake pedal and accelerator why the engine is running and it will give you a screen shot . Lol joke. Good video you have there
Just turn on the radio/cd player and tune to any FM station, I use radio 2, after approx 2 mins or so the clock will reset to the correct time automatically.
I've been playing with the idea of getting a Bluetooth speaker and ripping the circuit board out and wiring it in to the aux wire,I'm not sure if it will work but you never know unless you try 😁
@@zedalon It's just a joke that goes around the internet. I think @adam delaney is reffering to the hidden functions. really informative video, thank you for sharing!

Thanks for your typically English humor, (the differents between the outside temp :) ) great!! Greetings from a Dutch Zafira owner.
With your wipers it’s even simpler, you can just wipe once (easy down), WAIT, turn on intermittent - The wait time will be the same between wipes

Yes that's right and in Australia they are known as Holden
Great new feature. The one I like is having the lights on for one minute after leaving your car.
Once you put it the first time , will it stay on everytime you lock the car , or will i have to flash the brights every time i want it to stay on

Can you tell me how to change the display language to english??
I think you will need an op-com or tech2 to do it,next time I need to used my op-com I will have a look and see if it's possible.
@@zedalon thanks for the reply.. I just fixed it and changed date and time by myself woo hoo!!
I'm not sure how to turn off winter driving mode tho, so I'll have to figure that out its the middle of summer here hahaha
Well done 👍 I was quite tired when replied and forgot about the settings menu 🤣 and what do you mean by winter driving mode?
@@zedalon there's a snowflake button above the P on the shifter. It's on (lit up) .. Says it's the winter driving mode for automatic transmission.
tip not very useful as all i wanted was how to reset the clock ?;;;;;
Just turn on the radio/cd player and tune to any FM station, I use radio 2, after approx 2 mins or so the clock will reset to the correct time automatically.
Can I see the engine temperature on the display all the time? It is not convenient to load this info gain and again...
sadly not with the stock system, I know some people used obd reads connected to there phones to have a real time temp reading
Lcd is actually the air intake temperature
So why is it called lcd? Is it at the maf sensor or at the throttle body after the intercooler?
Do you know it even can give you the engine fault codes, without an OBD reader ?
That was the very first thing he showed - maybe watch before commenting?
Two many keys on the fob. It wears out the key and lock.
Thank you I am a new owner
Can you still activate the temperature gauge when you have an after market stereo?
Not as far as I know
Hi can you play Spotify in the car or not
Yes but you need a bluetooth car adaptor... about £17 on amazon
I've been playing with the idea of getting a Bluetooth speaker and ripping the circuit board out and wiring it in to the aux wire,I'm not sure if it will work but you never know unless you try 😁
by the way, driving with an empty water bottle is illegal in Britain
That would be why once I finished the video I refilled it.
@@zedalon good action
Why tho ? Usually theres enough water in the air. 😅
@@casemodder89 why is anything illegal? because at one point or other some knob in an office decided it must be...
Only the driver would know he has no screen wash.
Anyone no how to get how many miles are left up on the screen in the dash
It depends which screen you have?
Switch to range
Ive just bought a 64 plate astra estate 20 cdtdi and cant find fucking bluetooth anywhere
Good interesting video but maybe you can do a bit of editing next time
What are thooseeeeee!! 😂

@@zedalon It's just a joke that goes around the internet. I think @adam delaney is reffering to the hidden functions.
