The system is cleverly designed, but at some point, the shock absorbers will need to be replaced just like in any car. If it stays on, there is a problem and the system isn’t working (the suspension gets set to hard damping). The icon should disappear a couple seconds after you turn the engine on.
You can recognize a car with the CDC by the IDS+ icon appearing on the dashboard when you turn the ignition on. The CDC is an optional extra in the Astra H and it’s a part of the “Interactive Driving System Plus” package. From first-hand experience, I can say it works quite well. It can improve handling in certain situations, like braking or cornering, and soften the suspension when stiff damping is not needed. As the name implies, it actively changes the damping stiffness of the shock absorbers, depending on the road conditions. Some Vauxhall cars are equipped with Continuous Damping Control (CDC), which a type of active suspension. The M32 and the M20 gearboxes are used in the following Vauxhall Astra H models:ġ.7 CDTi (Z17DTH, Z17DTJ, Z17DTR) – only the 6-speed cars have the M32, the 5-speed cars have the less problematic F23 gearbox The M20 & M32 gearboxes are used in so many vehicles and bearing failure is so common in high-mileage vehicles, that I’ve dedicated a full page to the M20 & M32 gearboxes.įollow the link above to learn more about the symptoms of bearing failure, the solution to the problem and how much it costs to fix a dying M32 gearbox. The M20 gearbox is almost identical, so it suffers from the same problems. If not fixed, this problem leads to total gearbox failure (a hole in the gearbox).
When this bearing starts wearing out, the gearbox becomes noisy when driving in 6th and 5th gear. A typical problem with this 6-speed transmission is bearing wear. Some Vauxhall Astra D models are fitted with the infamous M32 gearbox.
