Vauxhall Antara astra auto-box fillter
Variant: 1.4 auto
Model Year: 1995
Have changed the auto fluid,and to the right level,as soon as the auto, fluid is hot and thinner,the sports light go's out,the car drives great,if you stop and let the car cool,the problem starts again,fillter must be part blocked(I think)?

sounds like an oil pressure problem which can be caused by a blocked filter but also it could be a faulty pump or even a sensor, with the light flashing it should have stored a trouble code in the control unit, have someone plug into it before you waste cash

first of all you have more than likely got stored trouble codes in the system have these removed and see how things go the other thing is are you using the correct grade oil the reason why i ask is because you say that its fine when hot and the problem is the back again when cold this problem usually is down to the wrong grade oil refer the the owners hand book for the grade of oil required
