on my way to work today my corsa kept pulling whilst driving, when i slowed down for traffic lights etc a orange light came on (looked like a pic of engine) anyone know what this is?
i checked my oil and this was ok, but my water was very low!! ive topped it up and it seems to be fine now light hasnt been on since!
could this of been the reason the light came on?

you need to get it fault code diagnosed
the error will be stored in the memory
luckery we have one of these at work so cost me nothing but we charge bout 35 to do a code read
sounds like it could be the crank sensor but could be anything
