A situation in which the Opel Astra stove does not work can both create discomfort for the passengers of the car and harm the car itself.
There may be several reasons why the stove in the car failed.
Damper drive defective. In this case, the pressed button signals its movement, although in reality the damper will remain stationary.
Resistor burned out.
Stove motor defective.
Fuse blown.
The procedure for restoring the operation of the stove depends on the cause of the malfunction. The sore spot of the Opel Astra is the stove damper. As a solution, it is proposed to calibrate it, or set the damper manually to a certain position on a permanent basis. Car owners find solutions in the case of a damper on their own: it helps someone to briefly throw off the wire from the battery terminal, someone solves the problem after the car warms up.
In the event of a malfunction of the resistor and motor, it is recommended to replace them together, although it costs a lot of money. It is believed that repairs in such cases help only for a short time. Replacing the fuse in the case of a faulty motor will do nothing: the fuses will continue to burn until the main problem is eliminated.
If the stove motor breaks down, its removal and cleaning often helps.
Remove the glove compartment.
Unscrew the bolt securing the blower pipe and remove it.
Press out the motor fastener.
Grasp the bottom of the motor and turn it clockwise to pull it out.
Disconnect the connector from the motor and pull it out of the casing.
Next, the motor must be disassembled, its components must be thoroughly cleaned. Bearing lubrication is also useful. It can be done without opening the motor, using a syringe with a needle.
If your stove is only running at 4 speeds, it's almost safe to say that the problem is with the resistor. Getting to it is rather inconvenient.
Remove the six bolts securing the glove compartment.
Disconnect the backlight wires, wring out the latches and remove the glove compartment.
Locate the two wires at the top latch of the pollen filter. They go to the resistor.
Remove the cabin filter cover. It is held in place by three bolts.
Pull the resistor towards you.
Remove the fan terminals.
Pull the chip out of the resistor.
Replace the resistor fuse and reinstall it.
Further, all parts are assembled in reverse order.
The fuel filter cleans the diesel fuel, therefore it plays an important role in the reliable operation of the engine. Changing it to an Astra with a 1.3 diesel engine is not difficult, but many are afraid to do so. This is due to some kind of plastic underneath, which everyone is afraid to break. Well, let's figure out what to ...
An air filter is needed so that abrasive particles do not enter the engine and thereby do not cause wear on parts.

The German hatchback Opel Astra of the third generation with the index H ("Ash") was produced in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 up to 2010 in five and three-door (GTC) versions. On its basis, the same spectacular Twin Top convertible and the Caravan station wagon (Sport Tourer) were produced. The charged version of the OPC is also in great demand. The advantages of the German Opel Astra H are smooth running, high ground clearance, good handling and a high level of safety.
The design of the Opel Astra is quite simple, so maintenance and, in general, the operation of this car will not be burdensome. You don't even need to issue a comprehensive insurance cover, because the hijackers are absolutely not interested in it. I would like to note the high-quality and neat assembly, as well as high practicality and cost-effectiveness, profitable it will not be difficult to sell a working Astra Ash car .
The Astra's equipment is quite rich, there is even a system for recognizing road signs, markings and distances (Eye), as well as adaptive bi-xenon headlights (AFL +). But at the same time, the Opel Astra H is not an example of high reliability and stability. When cornering on wet asphalt, the front end of the car slips, and its understeer is not ideal. Visibility is good enough, but the wide, heavily sloped front roof pillar and massive rear-view mirror worsen. Spare parts for Opel Astra "Ash" are inexpensive - this is the main distinguishing feature of this model from its class brothers. The transformable interior is quite spacious, convenient and comfortable, the materials are solid and durable, the powerful climate control system pleases.
The disadvantages are a weak heating system, a cramped pedal assembly and a lack of an armrest. I would also call the small overhang of the rear head restraints, which reduces the level of safety for rear passengers in a rear impact.
In steering the steering rack does not differ in durability after 80,000 km. the steering will need to be repaired.
The most common diesel engine installed on the Opel Astra Н - powerful and economical 1.7CDTi (110 hp) ecoFLEX, consuming no more than 4.5 liters of fuel per 100 km. Its main disadvantage is the high consumption of engine oil, with prolonged driving at high speeds, it can consume up to 0.8 liters per 1000 km of run. With scheduled maintenance, every 15 thousand km from replacement to replacement is not enough, so before traveling on a long journey, do not forget to throw an additional can of oil into the trunk. The timing belt can withstand 80-90 thousand km of run and changes along with the pump, which is driven by the same belt and rarely works out more than 100 thousand km. The tension rollers can be changed after one replacement of the timing belt, but this must be done regardless of their condition, otherwise a belt break and further expensive repairs are guaranteed. And one more nuance of the engine - the rear supports, which turned out to be short-lived.
In electrical equipment, too small digitization of scales, a large accumulation of impractical buttons and switches on the instrument panel and an inconvenient location of climate control knobs are upsetting. Lack of coolant temperature indicator can be attributed to the disadvantages of the engine most likely than the Opel electricians. Trouble is expected from the electronic ignition modules, which turned out to be short-lived, as well as the throttle control unit, which is not highly reliable. Well, if, when buying a sophisticated Opel Astra H, the seller tries to justify the high price by the presence of a lane tracking system, then you should know that it is ineffective in our conditions.
The body is distinguished by good noise insulation, and the station wagon, in addition, has large rear door openings and a spacious trunk, which cannot be said about a hatchback, into which it is not very convenient to climb into the back seat because of the narrow doorways. But the main disadvantage of the body is considered to be weak corrosion resistance and expensive body parts. Rust blisters on the hood, fenders and doors. It is not worth delaying the elimination, the further - the more expensive.
There are no complaints about the manual transmission, if you do not take into account the long gear ratios of the gearbox. Repair of the Astra mechanical box is inexpensive. But it is better not to mess with an automatic transmission due to the presence of structural flaws in it, due to which the automatic transmission slows down and does not differ in reliability. For some reason, the designers combined the automatic transmission oil cooler with the engine radiator, and if the latter malfunctions, antifreeze enters the automatic transmission oil with the ensuing consequences. Repair is not always possible, sometimes only replacing the box helps. Easytronic robotic gearboxes were also installed on the Astra H, which have malfunctions. In such cases, reprogramming saves.
The suspension is quite soft thanks to the adaptive FlexRide dampers, which can leak up to 100,000 km, and is durable, with the exception of the struts and stabilizer bushings. Only on the GTC version you can not name a soft suspension.
The brakes are effective if the brake fluid is changed every 15 thousand km. A problem can only be created by ABS sensors, which are installed in the hubs and fail from road salt, and their replacement is often possible only as an assembly with a hub. There are no complaints about the running gear, wheel bearings can withstand 100 thousand kilometers without any problems.

Do all rear locks have a resistor as mine doesn t
I ve changed the correct fuse and got a new rear lock didn t have time time to do this but the boot won t open electronically any ideas
Good video, but it cant help me. My rear bonnet is jammed and i cant open it using manual lever. Without open rear bonnet i cant remove lock and rapair it. Big problem
I have problem where i found resistor on the right side of the motor is missing from theits location. Is possible for someone to tell the spec of this resistor?
Thanks for the video. I have a problem with my zafira model. I can manually lock and unlock the boot but the central does not work. Doors work fine. You think i can just open the motor and clean it out? Thanks
Thanks. What did you unplug and re plug? The battery terminals? Thanks

I am having issues with my astra hatch. It is very sporadic. Before sometimes it would open and sometimes it wouldnt. I thought maybe a connection was loose but then one weekend i had the car parked and open the trunk probably times. Then all of a sudden it stopped working. I have not been able to open the trunk since. Is it most likely this motor that needs to be replaced?
Central locking is a pain in the it becomes faulty. Why did car makers introduce it? Did they think they were doing motorists a favor? It only took a couple of seconds to lock and unlock the doors before central locking was introduced, do car makers think that we are a bunch of lazy! Locking systems only serve to up the price of a car. And when problems arise, the motorist has to run up a hefty bill at a garage for an unnecessary gadget that is not easy to replace.
Thank you very much for your reply, much appreciated.
No this is not intended for use with the vx insignia but by coincidence i have just got rid of a plate insignia sports tourer which had a faulty tailgate motor twice in the three years i had it. The first time it was repaired by the garage and i do not know what they did to repair it. Three months later it happened again the tailgate failed to open. When i phoned the garage they suggested it was a known software glitch and i should disconnect the battery, the fault disapeared on its own.
Does this work for an vx insignia. Thanx
