Hi,

Could any1 please help,
My 2000 opel corsa B's check engine/orange light comes on and off intermittently when driving after about 5 miles, Does any1 know how to read the code and maybe clear it without taking it to a garage as I hear just plugging in the computer alone is expensive and then the repairs after that....I've heard that there is a way of reading the codes by using a paper clip and by-passing 2 points on the diagnostic connector underneath the dash then turning on the ignition, would any1 know the right way of doing this, any relevant info greatly appreciated. cheers

Hi, My 2008 opel corsa light orange engine light is on. I took the car for a service hoping it will fix the problem. When the car came back it was off for 3 weeks and the started again. What could be the problem? Is it a serious thing? The car only has 60 000km.

I had the same problem, 98' Corsa. Engine light, loss of power had this for 6 months on and off. Read your problem page, possible cause 'air flow meter ' bought one on ebay for £1.04 fixed the problem. Result a very happy chappy. Thanks to all.

Hi all , could anyone tell me where to find the ecu diagnostic connector on a 2001 Vauxhall Corsa C 1400cc automatic .

Thanks Wizard

If the check engine light only comes on while driving, then the ecu is not probably not getting a signal from the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) which on the corsa is located right inside the speedometer unit. If you are brave enough, just have the speedo unit checked out. Make sure all the connectors in the engine bay are secure. Does the engine stall when you stop suddenly after hard acceleration?

Just go to this link and follow the instructions and you have the solution. It worked for me but I was unable to clear the code.

It could be that the O2 (Lambda?) sensor is going - I had the same problem on mine, cost me £25 to get it hooked up and then £70 to have a new sensor fitted - doesn't happen anymore.

Hi,

I' have'nt had a chance to fully check it out, but I might just take the speedo unit out from the dash and have a look there, then have a look and and make sure everything's ok underneath the hood, I actually forgot to mention that the engine was recently replaced,(silly me) because the old one packed in, but the new one is the exact same, if I can just find a way to check the fault code without getting a code reader hooked up to it, thanks for the advice so far, anyone out there have any more tips??
