My golden rule of thumb is always 30psi
So if you don't get a specific and exact answer, take 30psi as being right.
I've used that for every car I've ever had. Whatever it was.0 -
It will be in the handbook.
It might be under regular maintenance.£2 Coins Savings Club 2012 is £4

Try a search for tyre pressures here if you aren't sure - I would search for you but I'm not sure which variant of the Astra your vehicle is 0 -
I just used that link and for mine it ended up saying: 2.0bar
Er .. what...? I've only ever seen psi gauges.0 -
There should be a sticker, either in the glovebox, or by the door with the pressures written on them 0
-
2.0 bar is 29 psi (actually 28.5 but the gauge probably won't be that accurate)0
-
Sticker is often behind the fuel filler cap or these days.
An educated guess is 32 front 28 rear at normal load. I couldn't find your model but most 1.4 hatchbacks are this. Call a vauxhall garage in the morning to confirm.0 -

Conversion Factor
Bar to pounds force per square inch - multiply by 14.5038
Therefore 2.0 bar = 29.0076 psiI’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the 'I wanna' and 'In my home' and Health & Beauty'' boards.If you need any help on these boards, do let me know.

Tyre pressures are also sometimes printed in the glovebox, the drivers door pillar or on the edge of the drivers door itself.0

30 front 30 rear until you get this confirmed by Vauxhall.
Are they original wheels? If they are after market you are supposed to tell your insurers and also you will not get the correct pressures from Vauxhall.
Also if it is an estate the rears when loaded will be higher something like 36 - 38
When you look in the book, does it not have a section on tyres? Is your tyre size listed? should be a pressure spec aswell.0
