2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.4T Automatic

1.4T headache · 2025-10-11T10:48:42-0400

Hi all this astra has me stumped first time owning one and I believe it to be the last had it for 1 week it's been OK up until day 3 got the traction light on the dash, ESC and accident collision prep unavailable.

I changed crankshaft sensor but came up with the same codes. So was told by a garage it has to be my ECU Reluctantly I got one programmed to my car the same thing. The mechanic has said he cant see whay else it could be.

The actual problem im having is the car will start up with no error messages on the screen I put the car into reverse or drive and it cuts out if I put my foot down the car judders the traction esc and Collision messages all come up and then the car won't cut out again and im able to drive I've got so annoyed I've unplugged the front wheel sensor from under the bonnet so traction like is on so I don't have to go through this and just to point out it isn't the abs because when I disconnect it I get a code

Any help would be much appreciated

You have to sort out as mot failure! Obd diagnosis might give you a clue?

Before I take it to the main stealer I have had a check myself checked continuity from all wires leading to ecu and most of the wires easily accessible to where they go and something told me to jack up the rear end and have a look and I found this

Hello!
This looks very much like the result of a flooded module. You need to check the wiring at the battery, it may be flooded. Check the electrical modules in the left side of the trunk. Check the cables that connect the cabin and the tailgate, try the rear window washer and look for leaks. Check the condition of the bulbs and the cable connections around the taillights in general.
