quote: this is dead easy 2 do all u need to do is get a paper clip and bend it until u have got a U shape Start ur car up Take off the fuse cover in ur motor in here, u will see a white diagnostic plug on the left handside with 2 rows of connectors on it Get the paper clip and push both ends into the righthand side connectors in the plug - there will only be two holes u can put them in then once this has been put in, the orange management light will start flashing it will flash twice, pause, then once - this is ok. it will then give a long pause then flash, then pause u need to writer this number down, so if the fault code was 35, it would flash 3 times, pause, then flash 5 times. if u have any probs u2u me ok | |

My light came a couple of months ago, but went off by the time I was home. So haven't done anything about it and everything is ok. | |

quote: They are to55ers. :mad: The problem your going to have, is that if the engine management light isn't specific, you will need to have the car plugged in to a machine that will give you a fault code this code then tells you whats wrong with car. Without this there is no telling whats wrong :( | |

Thats you engine management light it can be a range of things so I would go to vaux and get them to have a quick look if the cars still under warrenty it won't cost you a penny | |
