Hi Guys hope I can explain this one.
Wife said she has been strugling with the car having little power and occasionally the car and spanner light has come on over the last week.
When the ignition is turned off and back on the cars back to normal.
I was a little sceptical but it happened to me last saturday.
It goes like this. Travelled 20 miles from open road to town and then open road. Pulled up and parked then left the engine running for a few minutes.
All OK until after 1 or 2 minutes the car and spanner light came on and the tickover became not erratic but lumpy and increasing and decreasing from tickover to 1000 rpm.
Reving the engine seemed to be OK but I didnt attempt to drive or put load on. The missus said that the power is poor and hesitant IE limp mode.
When I turned the ignition off and then back on the car started fine and ran fine and was back to normal.
I had it into my mate who TECH2 ed it today. Codes were p0301 and another which I cannot remember but will ask him about but think it was poor fuel pressure.
He has read up on the Vauxhall tech pages and they are advising that the 2 codes together mean the solenoids in the fuel pump which I have read on here about.
Other than that his first thought or suggestion from Vauxhall technical was a software update. That has now been dismissed due to the fact that these two codes have appeared together.
Any thoughts please!? I would rather try the software but he assures me its gonna be a £700 touch
Any help much appreciated
By the way DPF is at 0% as of today because he checked it and was going to force a regen but it wouldnt let him as its perfectly OK
