my astra g 05 reg 1.7 cdti has the engine light on? been on for about month,gone into limp mode about 3 times,wont go over 3000 rmp then next min is fine,other than this it drives fine not using lots of fuel ect,sometimes it
will stay off for hours then come back on,think its the egr valve? need the codes reading,anyone recommend someone,cheers

Something that is bringing the engine light on will need code reading to diagnose - its the quickest, cheapest and easiest way to find the fault

Try Vauxcare down by Lairds - Vauxhall experience, but not dealer prices

try one of these mate as it will read all the codes on your car and is only £20 ..

if you own a vaux there a lifesaver and saves you getting charged £15+ each time you have to go somewere to have it read ..
if its used once then its payed for itself ..
easy to use too

have you got one?

Did you manage to get codes read mate. If not i can do it for you on my snap on scanner. As you say its probably EGR needs cleaning.

I can do this, PM me

it wont let me chris

it wont let me pm any of you,over the limit?

could anyone read these codes for use,cheers

If the egr was blocked you would notice the power would be lower than it used to be at all times.

have you ever changed the fuel filter on the car mate since ownership ???????

no

I've just tried to send to you, your over the limit, delete some and reply
