    Recently, the dashboard warning light for the engine management computer has
    been lighting up on my Vectra. This mainly happens when the engine is hot.
    The car is a 1998 2.0 petrol.

    I am currently too nervous about taking it to a dealer, in case they quote
    me a frightening price for a new computer :-(

    Does anyone on here have any experience of this?

    Any help much appreciated.

    Cheers

    Mark

    best idea would be to pull the codes
    simple job with a paper clip, this will tell you why it is coming on.
    checked all fluid levels?
    oil
    brake
    steering
    washer
    etc
    etc

    Thanks Mike - how do you pull the codes? Is there a web site that shows how
    to do this?

    Cheers
