01 1.8 Sluggish + management lights! - mrwantinfo

Hi
Engine seems sluggish on start off and gear change. Its not till it reaches 60 -70mph that it seems ok. Also getting a bit noisier than usual. Managment lights on occassionally are the orange one (dont have manual so dont know what light it is!!) looks like a squarish box (some kinda pump?) poss injecters blocked??? also oil light flashes on and off frequently (especially on braking)
If anyone could tell me if these are big jobs and how much roughly it could cost me.
Cheers

oil light flashing, try checking the oil level, low oil level will also cause the ignition to retard on some of the engines in the vauxhall range due to the knock sensor picking up rouge signals, low level is also responsible for the engine getting noisey, suggest you check it sharpish before you do any serious damage,Regards TB

isthe oil level is fine then it could be a faulty wire causing the light issues. As for sluggish the key suspects would be air flow meter and EGR valve. Getting it on a diagnostic should confirm this.
