This question all depends on which Warning light you are refering to. The Check engine symbol indicates when a system servuce us required. The symbol lights up when the ignition is switched on and goes out shortly after the engine starts to run. If the symbol lights up when driving serivce to the engine management system may be required, the car is still drivable but must be service asap to prevent engine damage. Note if the symbol flashes and the engine cannot be started, turn the iginition off for at least 2 seconds before attempting to start the engine again.
The other Symbol is the Emissions light, which looks like an engine. This system is the emission monitoring system, it lights up when the care is turned on and then turns off shortly after starting. If the light stays on you must have your vechile serviced asap, note if the symbol flashes whilst driving reduce your speed and service you vechile asap.
my car doing the same thing
There is no tire pressure warning manual reset for the Astra. Make sure that the tires are properly inflated, and let the engine run for about 10 minutes. If the system is working correctly, then it will reset itself.
Over heating engine or engine check light ?
The engine diagnostics have detected a fault. Could just be a transient spike and mean nothing but best to get the dealership to check it.
The light is on because there is a fault somewher. To turn the light of you fix the fault.
The engine light is essentially a warning indicator that something is wrong with the vehicle. Each engine light has it's own meaning and severity.
it just means it needs a service take it to the garage they will sort it for you
there is no cam belt on 2.2 astra its a chain, BUT beware coz these snap with no warning and have a nice price tag for repair, I have just paid out £2000.00 because mine snapped with no warning. Vauxhall say it dont need changing it should last the life of the engine but this is crap!!!!!!!!!!!!
It sounds like the thermostat is opening up late causing the engine to almost overheat before it opens. Replace the thermostat.
Hi I dont really understand the 1951 plate but I have a Astra 1998 station wagon 2.0l that may have the same prob.There is a yellow light which looks like an engine with a z in the middle.This is between the oil and batt warning light.The car still runs fine but a bit worried when this comes on as I dont Know what it means.
The light is illuminated because the ECU has picked up a fault on the engine management system, and has stored a fault code. You need to diagnose & rectify the fault for the light to be extinguished.
Without know what the warning light say's, all I can tell you in Yellow means caution.
