Hi,if you trawl through the other posts you will find many questions similar to yours.The engine icon is for "engine electronics",it means there is a fault or fault with a sensor,that is monitoring your systems.I maintain that the cheapest cure is to run the vehicle to a garage,not necessarily vauxhall,as long as they have the diagnostic kit.Phone up and ask.I use a local private garage. Most times it is a sensor problem rather than a component.For instance,my daughter's corsa started throwing in large amounts of petrol,making black smoke and choking to a stop at junctions.I guessed it was the coolant sensor but still had it confirmed on the computer.The sensor was telling the ECU that the engine was cold so it put in the extra fuel.
