What does the warning light look like.

Does it have an engine management system, i had a corsa (loved it) had a light keep coming on so i took it to a local garage that just plugged this machine in and was able to tell me straight away wat it was.


never had problems with mine at all when i had it, the light was where we had take out the thermostat or summit like that


dunno why i got rid of it to be honest

[deadmr]

yer i no wat it is cause i took it to garage to n they did the same thing n i think its something like £80 for the part they think it is

just seeing if any one had had the same thing happen to them sorta thing

I used to work on cars & brit motorbikes many years ago, so would have helped if I could with diagnosis. never owned a corsa though, but a car is a car at the end of the day.

Which warning light, ignition, oil pressure, are there any other symptons?

oil pressure does keep coming on but thats fine as long as it goes off wen u touch accelerator witch it does go bk off its just i think its the emmisions light so its just making it drink petrol now

That would seem to indicate that a temperature sensor isn't working, so the Engine Mangement System thinks it's still cold thus using a rich mixture, equivalent to driving with the choke out in the old days.

seems deadmr knows what is wrong with it and wants to know if it happens to other corsa owners, but unless their mind readers how the heck are they suppose to know unles deadmr says what it is wrong with his
