radio code generator location?
A few years ago I asked on here for radio code on my vectra and someone provided me a link to a radio code generator for the vectra c, however iv been looking all day on the forum and Google and cant find it anywhere. Keep finding posts of people saying its impossible and you have to pay dealer, this is not true as I have done it in past with the generator and it did work so I know it exists. Does anyone know where I can find it please.

Stall Then a bad burning smell
Hi, im new to this forum thing. Im sorry if i post in the wrong section.
My problem is i was driving my Insignia looking for a car park. I found one and was waiting in the queue. I stalled the car when moving forward. I was waiting a while in the queue. After the stall a really bad burning smell started to come through the car. I parked up but on returning 4 hours later the smell was really bad inside the car. No leaks were visible underneath or in the Engine Bay. No warning lights were...

Vauxhall Insignia blue smoke from exhaust and vibrating
Hi everyone!
I have the following vehicle: Vauxhall Insignia 2.0 CDTI (2009)
Everyday when i take the car to about 60mph it starts to vibrate and the rev counter flickers up and down between 2000 rpm and 3000 rpm at the same time i get puffs of blue smoke out of the exhaust.
Vauxhall have told me this is the car doing a DPF regeneration but from what i have read that should be black smoke (soot).
Anybody had this problem or any ideas?

Opcom Xenon option
Evening all. I've got aftermarket HID's fitted to my Vec C and they are superb. However when I switch them on, the power surge on initial start up sometimes does funny things to the ECU. random dash lights, or loss of gears in the autobox. Restarting the car sorts it out every time. If I changed the settings using opcom to say that xenons were present, would it cure the problem?? Many thanks.

Cars goes into "Limp Home" when engine pushed..
I have recently been getting a problem with my Signum 2.2 Diesel on a 53 plate (Auto)
I changed bleed off pipes around 6 month ago and have double checked all of my vacuum pipes for splits, which to me seems like there isn't any issue.
Car goes into limp home when I "kick down" or car is under stress(Mainly, but it can be intermittent), have just cleaned out the airfilter box and filter as it was pitted.
Had a quick diagnostic done at a garage yesterday which cleared the fault but was told...

Vectra 1.9 gear shift stiff (left - right) only when hot???
Hi there,
Exactly as the title suggests, my gear selection becomes stiff and does not return to the central position, but only when hot??
When the car has been stood and cold, the gear selection is as good as new and works as it should,
It is the F40 gearbox if that helps, and I've tried lubricating the linkage, and tried draining and refilling the gearbox oil using genuine Vauxhall stuff,
Please help, I just bought the car, and it's really worrying and confusing me!

Chug & Judder under uphill acceleration
Hi All,
2004 Signum 1.9CDTI 150bhp
All running OK except oily/diesel smell from engine into cabin. Couple of weeks ago got and put on new swirl flaps rod, brass lug type (advice from Fred B) because silly plastic lug type had come off and was worn. When doing it noticed that there was a slight diesel leak, hardly noticeable from injector No 2. Researched, suggested copper washer required replacing. Got Injector 2 out (what a job!!!!). NO COPPER WASHER?
Got copper washer from VX (85p) put...

Strange sound when accelerating
Insignia 60plate 1.8i Exclusiv
It has been going on for a few weeks now but it is only recently that it has become more pronounced. It started in just 6th gear, when accelerating you can hear a whooshing/low whining sound (sorry not sure best way to explain) which stops when you stop accelerating. There does also seem to be a loss on power especially going uphill.
Did some motorway driving over the weekend and it has now started doing it in 5th gear and possibly very slightly in 4th, but no...

Diesel DTI Starting Problems 'Spill Pipes' 'EGR'
Heres something I wrote earlier
This guide is relating to “Spill pipes” or Leak off pipes” which when defective cause poor or no starting on Vauxhall DTI engines. This is a very common fault and should be one of the first areas to look at when the DTI refuses to start. It is also the cheapest place to start as new leak off pipe costs around £2.99 from most motor factors
The EGR valve is located in the same area and I recommend having a look at the same...
