Hi guys, not been on for a while, with so much happening in my life, some good, some depressing.

But my car has topped it off,

Today coming back from work, no power at all when putting the foot down, engine light on aswell, took it to the garage and he said probally EGR valve??

But hes replaced this and still the same problem and now is saying it needs the coil pack replacing,

any ideas? all I know its going to hit my pocket, and I am seriously considering in getting rid of the car for a while !

Right ok as yours is a 2000 model and the changeover year it could be 2 types of test whether it is OBDI or OBDII

OBDI http://www.astraownersclub.com/vb/showpo...ostcount=4

OBDII http://www.astraownersclub.com/vb/showpo...ostcount=2

Try the second method first, if it dowsnt work the try OBDI method
