Paper clip test (Astra ?)
« on: 27 December 2011, 12:07:37 »

Hi all and merry Xmas to you. I have a question not for me but for my M8 who lives out in Germany, you see his engine management light has come on and it sounds like the engine has gone into limp mode. Now i have suggested to him that he has it code read to determine  what the fault is but like the Omegas is he able to carry a paper clip test on a Astra before entering the Garage Doctors. Many thanks Steve.  ??? :y

I suppose it must depend on which Astra  ??? On the 52 plate Astra G that SWMBO had you could do the pedal trick  :y

I never knew the M8 went to Germany  ::) - Thought it was in Scotland myself.

As the Astra was made between 1979 to present, the year and engine might be of help  ;)
