My 'clever' son has put his SRS/air bag light on on his Astra F by ..... continuing to drive it when the charge light had come on when the 'fan belt' came off (probably triggered by low voltage)  :-?
I have a cheapo Tech II for my cars however his is the older Tech I connector. I've been quoted, from those few who were able to do so, fom £30 to £50(vauxhall :-?) to turn off the light.

My question is ..... can you buy a "cheapo Tech I" to talk to the older Vauxhalls rather than line someone's pocket for less than 5 mins work?
TIA

i think you need CandiBus to talk to Astra F... not 100% though.

Astra F


You're thinking of the Astra H

Just to answer my own question clicky
It might be useful to  owners of the earlier Omega with the older diagnostic socket ..... providing of course it works
