Orange alert buoyant on Corsa?

I had a moment ago stopped at a busy roundabout so was in attendance for a few mins with the handbrake on. As i drove bad i noticed the ginger light on the dashboard. It be a funny shape and had a flash through it (which made me judge it was electrics) i parked up for a bit to ring the AA, who said it be safe to drive and when i turned the ignition on, it have gone!! The guy from AA said it was smething to do next to the exhaust. i am not very suitable with cars and wondered if someone could possibly inform me what this light expected?
It is an L reg 1993 Corsa 1.2 merit.


Answers:    The engine management hurricane lantern is displayed when there is a problem near any of the sensors dotted around your engine and exhaust system.

Even if the light have gone off, a imperfection will have be recorded on the ECU (the engine's brain) and can be read if you own the appropriate diagnostic tools.

Take the car to your local Vauxhall supplier or reputable independant garage and explain the situation. Once the fault have been read from the ECU the garage will know how to advise on the best course of dealing.

If the light hasn't come on since, it's probable to just be a hiccup inwardly the system. If the AA mentioned the exhaust, then it may be the EGR system (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) which isn't anything to verbs about if the muted hasn't come on since.

The EGR system isn't cheap to replace but it helps to keep hold of your exhaust emissions low (MOT requirement) so disabling it may produce a problem.
Looks to be the Engine management insubstantial.
Its to do with exhaust and engine.
I would right to be heard get it checked by your local garage to be on t he risk-free side.
I had like fault next to my 1997 corsa took it to a Vauxhall garage (they have the correct equipment) the mech hooked it up to a small tool and said it was a programing glitch. He fixed it did not happen again. The bedside light is the engine management admonitory light and if it comes on it can anticipate a very serious problem so rob it to your nearest Vauxhall garage.
