Project freeze my insignia 4x4 off 2018

evocarlos

so sunday i sold the 2.0t signum and found a replacement after just one day lol
it looks like this 🙂

not sure on the black grill atm and i need to fix the auto main beam/afl in the passenger headlight

60k on the clock came with a free engine management light

it also has one of these 🙂

whats that at on the boot lid 🙂

vocky

they are a sweet engine, just keep an eye on the vvt solenoids, the metal mesh can block up and stop them working - easy to remove, one bolt and they pull out.

funny you should say that @[deleted] i bought the car with p0013 cam phaser malfunction 🙂
had a mess today after replacing the high beam bulbs in efforts to get the afl error away what a pain found the trick way to do it lol

p0013 dtc set

confirmed its failed 1Mohm

the inlet one is 13ohm

ive already ordered 2 new solenoids picked up new wiper blades 5l of oil a new filter, gearbox oil , 50/50 mix long life coolant

next thing is to get the headlamp error gone, by replacing the bulbs ive now got the side illumination when turning the wheel left or right but no main beam.
ive managed to get the b1325 to clear and stay off but now its just the b0985

vocky

modern vauxhall headlight bulbs are a nightmare to change o_O

vocky

and the timing chains don't last as long either .....

got a new full chain kit coming so will do that soon car has done 60k so its time im just glad the 4x4 system is error free 🙂
the snow wont stick to it lol

evocarlos

new oil and filter in and new coolant in today no sign of the cam solenoids van man must not like the snow also need to get a new d1s bulb for the front light its gone purple lol

evocarlos

@[deleted] i dont suppose you have the a20nft timing tool ? if you do could you get some birds eye pics of the full tool with the prongs

vocky

timing marks are same as z22se, so no need for a locking tool

vocky

also sprockets have a locating pin, so only go in one position.

The a20nft chain kit is quite cheap because it does not come with the cam sprockets

evocarlos

going to make a tool to hold them still while undoing the bolts dont want to damage the internal springs only got the one set of sprockets lol

vocky

the centre bolt can be undone the same as z22se, 24mm spanner on the cam.

I have two spare pairs of sprockets if you get stuck

evocarlos

im happy with that the new solenoids came and now the eml lamp is off 🙂

opcom wouldn't remove the code so had to use my obd turbo gauge

evocarlos

what a silly place to put the afl control unit :S
its behind the fuse box and that big bit of loom on the left

next line of attack on the lights change the afl control unit

evocarlos

before with that stupid painted trim

and after with removing the plastic insert on the black trim to fit it to the chrome one its looking much better

evocarlos

1st proper wash 🙂

soon be clean

picked up the new chains and the new cam bolts the bolts were £1.38 each from vx lol

even got a replacement AFL controller but it didn't fix the afl error

evocarlos

easy peasy lemon squeezy
defo needed doing lol

next to do the oil and filter in the rear diff :S

B0985 - https://workshop-manuals.com/vauxhall/astra-j/body_systems/lighting/diagnostic_information_and_procedures/miscellaneous/dtc_b0984_or_b0985/

Circuit/System Testing

Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate headlamp assembly.
Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 1, 8 and ground.
⇒ If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
Ignition ON, connect a test lamp between the ignition circuit terminal 6 and ground. The test lamp should illuminate.
⇒ If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
If all circuits test normal, replace the appropriate headlamp assembly. Verify that the DTC do not reset.
⇒ If the DTC resets, replace the K28 Headlamp Leveling Control Module.

simmler procedure for the insignia my man on the inside printed the checking procedure for me and i already done the testing and replaced the k28 just need to go and get it calibrated im hoping thats it the up and down shutter control are not in the same place so hoping the recalibration sorts it

evocarlos

had a noise from the drivers wheel the disc was a bit raggy round the edges cleaned it up and painted the back plate
i did dot some fertan up under the arch to kill any potential rust
