Ford Raptor 2021 - spanner light illuminates

This is true. Sometimes the faults are intermittent. the engine computer checks, see a fault and reports it, then the fault goes away and the light goes off. If it eventually stays on, then you can do something about it. nothing to worry about yet.

2003 Combo 17 CTDI. Why does spanner light come on now and again but after a rest will stay off?

This is a maintenance required symbol. Like oil change. Call a local parts store or garage, they should be able to tell you how to reset the light.

Spanner showing on dash when engine running vauxhall vectra c

VECTRA CAR WITH SPANNER WARNING LIGHT This Vauxhall Vectra car with spanner warning light illuminates or flashes yellow. Light will illuminate for around 3 seconds when the ignition is switched on. If the fault light illuminates whilst the engine is running, this signifies a fault within the engine or gearbox electronics system. The system will switch to emergency mode where fuel consumption may increase and the vehicles drivability reduced. A Vauxhall workshop must be consulted. If the light flashes whilst the engine is running, this signifies a fault within the electronic immobiliser system and the engine will not be able to be restarted.

VAUXHALL combo cdti,17,000cc,only starts off starter when cold,never when hot!will only bump off when warm,also spanner light on 70 % of time when driveing,constanly cuts out while driveing,will only

Never ignore warning lights. The spanner light is the cpu telling you that maintenance is required on the engine. Suggest you have the fault codes read asap. It could be that the timing belt has to be replaced.

My car wont start, 1997 vauxhall astra 1.7 turbo diesel

This sounds like a problem in the fuel shut off circuit. When you turn the key on, it energizes the fuel shut off solenoid on the injection pump. When you turn off the key, power is removed and the pump is moved by spring to the fuel off position. Check for power at this terminal when you are having a problem, ( with the key on) If no power then I would check the wiring and connectors from this connection to the Ignition key. I believe it is wired direct. That can be checked at http://www.alldata.com/products/index.jsp

subscribe3 and get a wiring schematic for the car and see if it is wired direct to the ign switch of from a relay, I am sure it is a connection problem if you have no power.

A 1.7 diesel even if turboed, is dead slow in any vehicle let alone a van. Enjoy the fuel economy

good luck

Removing a speed limiter from a vauxhall combo cdti van

The speed-limiter is likely to be enabled via the ECU. Removing the limiter is a five-minute job if you have access to the GM Tech 2 electronic management/diagnostic tool.

If the van is yours then there's no legal requirement for the limiter. You could just book it in at a Vauxhall dealer for the limiter to be removed. They may charge you for an hour's labour though. Still worth doing in my opinion.

Can mean many things, automatic gearbox, emissions problems and if it flashes, it is an immobilizer fault. The car can be driven, if running ok but the engine management system should be checked ASAP. You will need EOBD diagnostic equipment to find cause. vauxhall can check this 4 u but it will cost u £47 unfortuanely but 4 that price u can get the diagnostic reader ur self the port is under the ash tray or the cover below the hand brakeRAC.htm">http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/7402742/Trail/searchtext>RAC.htm

It might be a problem with a relay, have them taken off and tested each one of them, are u hearing a "click" sound when u turn that switch on the ignition? if so, it could be your relay, hope this helps
