Re: No online connection or hey Vauxhall

My Sat Nav has not worked properly since an update months ago - no live traffic or speed camera alerts & Hey Vauxhall comes up as error. All of which worked previously. Booked in twice with dealer and they said no faults came up on diagnostics ( although they agreed not working correctly) Referr...

Re: Hybrid battery range

The range seems about right and better than I am getting. The best I have had was 33 miles last summer and getting 22 now using mainly my 7kw home charger. Car is going in for its first service later this month & dealer told me it requires updates , so will see if they effect range but not expec...

Re: Media, drivers and heads up screens all died

Had this problem a few times recently with main screen blank & indicators not clicking. Drivers screen remained on though. Getting out , locking car then unlocking & re-starting solved the problem. Car is booked in for first service & diagnostic check as this is just one of problems I am...

Re: Pack Updates

Are you sure you bought an Astra L ? as far as I am aware there is no "comfort pack" available. None of the features you mention (except heated windscreen which is fitted to Ultimate) seem to be options.

Re: Paddle shifters

There is no M button because you cannot drive in purely manual. The system is semi-automatic allowing you to change up or down in hybrid or Sport but will not let you change if driving too slow or foo fast for that gear. You cannot accelerate from rest & hold a gear & then change up like in ...

Re: Navigation problems

Bizarrely the dealer could not tell me but was in response to a Vauxhall recall letter. My car was registered in February so guess yours was already installed. As I understand it major updates have to be done by dealer. Previously I have had updates over the air which take only a few minutes. Again ...

Navigation problems

Since a recent dealer update ( which took over 3 weeks to finally install, the dealer corrupting CPU and having to replace 12v battery) I have had trouble with Nav not showing TomTom live & not showing speed camera alerts. Vauxhall Customer Services have not been helpful & said to take back ...

Re: Astra Sports Tourer Specs Question

An update to my comment about poor electric only range. I had been getting only 19 miles at 100%. However, with the warm weather ( although perhaps an update) I am suddenly getting 32 miles ! Quite happy with that and have achieved this several times now.

Re: App connectivity with Astra PHEV

The app is useless. Sometimes it records journeys sometimes not when connected by bluetooth. Also when charging does not update. Continuality pressing refresh sometimes updates percentage charged but mostly doesn't. Only way to kick start it is to switch off phone & restart. Have been waiting fo...
