Vauxhall vectra c front shock assembly
มุมมอง 13K7 ปีที่แล้ว
this is how i assemble the front shock on a vectra c. i use Monroe shocks gaiters and bump stops ..hope this helps...
How weird didn’t work for me.
Finally sorted, in the video it said about loosening the door nuts and spinning the door latch around. But found another video which was more detailed showing the door nuts being removed. All works well nice and quiet again.
So when i get a new solenoid should i take the filters out i will be checking for replies 😭
Thx Bro
I just did mine on vauhxall insiginia 1.8 , have to buy this speciality grip to managed get this thing out. took me few minutes unfortunately . put new one in , all good so far :D thanks for the video chopper
I have 001462 and 001463 error codes on my Astra 1.8 petrol. Assume the codes relate to the two solenoids and tot change them? Thanks
hello had the same problem with mine,,, copied you and fitted new arms,, now works fine,, great video thanks
good shout cheers
Fitting without filters😂Haha
Where did you buy it?
Do I need to change both or the front side alone is ok
Put your radio onto FM
Will this fix my door falling open aswell?
An official GM bulletin says to remove those side filters after engine has done some miles anyway. They probably work well when engine is bedding in but clog up eventually, hence the bulletin.
Great hack ✔️✔️
Removing the back one is quite the challenge though huh?
I don't understand this😮
Great!!! But it work only for a month. The same crack sound again. Must bay new
Is this all the same for a vauxhall corsa? I have the same code come up p0014
Very clear and informative video Darren, I’m going to clean both of mine today but should really replace. Do you have a link to where I can buy both please
I’ve just cleaned them and they have the same part code, so the same solenoid I guess
Did cleaning then make any difference?
@@caz438 no, I ended up buying a new pair
Can u tell what brand did you use for solenoids...plan to buy INA or bilstein...i have a ticking sound now and then and i think is a bad solenood maybe blocked from rubish...240k km never changed
Ina, you can see the sticker
Hi, I own an Astra 2009 1.6 petrol. It have the 3-4 second grumbling noise on startup… NO FAULT CODES showing,… But should I change the “VVT” Solenoid anyway? Also, if I do change it will something happen or will it all be straight forward???
Yes it will. Thanks
Bitte auf deutsch
Bullshit tried it on my Vectra made no different . Ur a futher using them tools with 1 hand , what with the tatooes a plaster u clown .
can this cause a slight knock on start up? mines started doing it and ive seen a few people say it can be because of the VVTI solenoid
Thank you for posting this video, I have cured the irritating noise that I get comments about!
Hi just came across this. I've changed the one shown and the car runs and sounds better. However, a few mechanics have said if you change one you should change the other, although I can't recall the diagnostic check showing a fault on two but did on one, now changed. Would you recommend changing the other or is it case of if it ain't broke don't fix it?
Yes I did always change both, because you will find in some cases it will throw up fault codes, so it is good practice, and helps the vvt run smoothly....
Was the rattling noise over?? Tnx for the video
Super padėjo
Deadly job man, great video. I have an Astra here in Ireland and I am going to go at the bastard now, saves mew loadsa time watchin this as opposed to most other videos rippin the place apart.
Don't work on a vivaro
I haven't tried, it does on astra, signum, vectra, with the same check strap....
Great video, just came across this as I was doing the same on my Vectra C (same engine) - I have had to replace the inlet solenoid due to damage trying to remove it to clean it - one question, do you need to get the "new solenoid" programmed to the car once installed?
No, just clear any fault codes, relating to the solenoids, before fitting the new one's....
@@darrencarter1227 Thanks for your reply, so would removing the old one and fitting new one, show the fault codes?
The old fault codes will stay on ,until you remove them, so you might get the same symptoms, plus it's good practice to clear and check regularly....
@@darrencarter1227 ah I am with you, never had any symptoms with this solenoid was only trying to clean it, but it broke on me, so had to buy new one, was just wondering if it was just plug and play with the new one, or whether I need the car to learn the new part
Yeah just plug it in, and should all be good 👍 ...
Hi is it worth changing both?
Did they work
Is there only one screw to remove and what size of torx is it?
Yeah just 1, and its an E8 socket....
Should I disconnect the battery before replacement?
P0011 fixed, thank you!!!
I'd love to know why turning the strap 180° and then back again solves the problem..but hey everyone seems to agree it works so will try it...thanks.
What are those bolts called that hold the selonoid please as I've lost mine. Thanks
Not sure, you might find them if you type in solenoid bolts, on ebay maybe...
Think it's like a heavy duty M6x16 hex bolt vauxhall genuine part....
Very helpful video, i will be doing mine after the new year as having issues myself with it. Got car cheap as was running issues so far got it down to just these now.
My vectra rattled when i started it up and now found the problem thanks. 🙏🏽
So is this what causes that rattle for two secs when I start up ? I have a astra h..
I would assume so got the same issue atm with my zafira tourer and i believe it can cause a little misfire at least that what ive figured out @nubie1100
@@nubie1100Same problem with my Astra h
@@YamahaR6RJ15, isn't there also a spring drain behind the oil filter when you take it off too? I also seena vid where that was failing and all the oil would drain into the sump. Im gonna try that first when i do a oil change next week. Always start with the cheapest first 😁👍
@@nubie1100 no idea mate, i dont know where to start 😩 the startup sound (cold) is a diesel and warm idle a little knock
To many bent mechanics making money out of knocking the light off!!!
I gonna change vvt solenoids,but the new ona has all 3 filters (mesh) on it... I need take off some as is shown on video or not ?
Great little trick worked first time
Why doesn't the new valve have side filters? If I break the side filters of the solenoid valves of my 2013 Chevrolet Cruze vehicle, will there be a positive development in the vehicle? Thanks.
I was going to do this as my Vectra C drivers door was clunking loudly. Before getting tools out I thought I'd smear on some grease on the tie bar (Castrol LM) and it sorted it out instantly. Not saying this will work for everyone, but worked for me, so worth a try first. Good luck.
We're those standard springs or lowered ones?
Thanks Darren. Absolutely brilliant video. Many thanks for posting on TH-cam.
Hi great vid any idea where the intake n solenoid is located on the car?
