Vauxhall combo 1.7 DI 03 reg - Loss of power! - adamwillis99
Hi I've got a 1.7 DI combo 03 reg and when I get to 60-70 mph that spanner/car light comes on and there's no power after that so when I slow down its got no poke when I pull off again..? Plus it won't go over 70 mph! Help please...

It's developed a fault - that's what the light's for!

It could be any one of hundreds/thousands of specific faults so you'll need the diagnostic codes reading to identify the fault - that's a chargeable cost just for the diagnosis - any Vauxhall dealer can do that but a good independent will be cheaper.

You can buy handheld diagnostic readers for DIY use but they won't all cope with Vauxhall diesels of that age so check the suitability if you do buy one.

Opcom off ebay £20 will diagnose Vauxhalls back to the start of OBD2, but if you're not into diesels, the interpretation of the diagnosis may take some head scratching. Or googling.
