Title: Vauxhall Corsa Help
Post by: star_whites on 03 August 2012, 12:52:11

I have a colleague in the office that has a 2004 1.0 Vauxhall Corsa Life that the engine management light has just come on.

Can you do a test on these like the omega to find out what the code is and if so how?@?....also where would I find the relevant code list??

I' try the pedal trick first ..... http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90581.0 and go from there. If you get a code, you can then Google it & see what you can find.  :y

Pedal trick should work, not much goes wrong on these if serviced, seen a few with sticking EGR's (easily cleaned but not all have them)

Crappy stretchy timing chains and H/G too....good little motors though

No issues with chain if well serviced.
