Answer 2

Hi, the car needs a service after it has clocked on a certain number of miles, if you want to reset the light there are ways to do this.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU MIGHT INVALIDATE A WARRANTY IF YOU INTERFERE WITH THE SERVICE LIGHT RESET, HOWEVER IF YOU SERVICE THE CAR YOURSELF, OR AT A NON VAUXHALL GARAGE, THEY MAY NOT KNOW HOW TO RESET THE SPANNER LIGHT.

IF YOU WANT TO DIY, IT IS EASY TO DO AND WILL COST YOU £2-3 FOR THE INFO........


you can buy this information on how to reset the light from Ebay sellers, it's not a scam but just the details of how it is done for each individual model of car.

Now, your car will still require a service, but you can take it to any garage for an oil change and things like that. The service book will tell you what needs to be done if it came with the car.

The procedure for resetting the light is a simple one and may include.....eg, pushing the brake pedal and holding it down with the accelerator at the same time with the engine off, put the ignition lights on, for 12 seconds and then repeating a sequence, (pre-set by the manufacturer).

It is no more secret or sinister than that, but you need to know the exact sequence for your model of car.

Answer 3

did no longer recognize they made a GSi in vehicle. besides, it is to boot the element. If it relatively is the 16v engine (which i'm guessing a GSi could desire to be), make optimistic the coolant reservoir does not have any coolant spillage or staining around it. If the coolant seems grimy or rusty, walk away. Head gaskets are a typical on those and easily undesirable to alter. A broking could desire to unquestionably spend over a grand of your money changing the top gasket on the X14/16XE engines. The 8v engine is unquestionably fantastically lots bullet evidence and likewise common to paintings on. For that age Corsa, i does no longer desire to pay extra advantageous than £500 for it.
