    Default engine management light again.

    Went to use my car on Friday for the 1st time in about 4-5 weeks, drove it for a couple of miles and the spanner light comes on, goes off a couple of times, parked it back up. Used it again on Sunday and sl has went off but now the engine management light is on permanently.

    I only had it in the stealers an oct for new egr valve, swirl valve actuator etc (again after it had been stood unused for a while).

    Along with all the other probs this car has given me i am now starting to get a bit piffed of with it.

    Anyway it's booked in for Thursday so we'll see what comes back this time.

    Still under warranty until sept but if its still playing up then it's gonna have to go.

    Its only done 16.8k it's a ****ing joke.

    Default

    When my car had its DMF fixed it was off the road for about 4 days in all.When it was first started and taken for a test drive the spanner light came on! I told the mechanic that this hadn't happened prior to having the DMF done.He read the codes and it came up 'boost sensor not within parameters' or something.Cleaned boost sensor and all is well.

    Conclusion:Vectra's don't like not being used.
