You are an absolute life saver mate!!! For gods sake DO NOT STOP MAKING THESE!! 😆

[pauloag]

Just to bare in mind, this pedal test only shows codes in relation to the engine. Also the codes that appears may well be historic codes left behind from past faults that haven't been cleared by the proper computer diagnostic devices. If you have issues get the computer check done, as you may end up chasing "ghosts" and spend more money than you need too.(I had an issue (esp light on) where the codes came up as turbocharger solenoid valve circuit open and also a maf voltage low. When in fact it was down to the steering wheel angle sensor and just needed the tracking done.

you my friend have just saved me hours of typing each code in I'm glad there is still people about like you thanks a lot mate 😁😁

I have a vauxhall astra j 2012 this trick does not work for me how do I get it to work or what do i do

[alexanderpeter-ov]

I have an Astra H Twinport and strangely it works but not straight away but after leaving the vehichle to cool down. Usually after a night left in the parking lot... Quite annoying but ... It is how it works with my one :D

[Rapid_GT]

Great info cheers man, I have a Corsa and thought that car / spanner symbol just meant service which I planned to do but past few days it's very sluggish no power, apparently it's "limp home mode" 🤣 i'll do the pedal test tomorrow

[allanmcfie]

Tried it on my corsa ecoflex 1.0 and I couldn’t press the brake, it was rock solid and wouldn’t budge unless I turned the key first 🤷‍♂️

[Xscapeplan]

Straight to the point, no fluff, this was so helpful thanks heaps

[markellis]

Dude. Thankyou for such an excellent, straightforward, no nonsense video. Much obliged.

[markandrews]

Worked a treat on my Astra club ctdi 2010 estate awesome thanks

[jonnyrocket]

It doesn’t seem to be working for my Corsa D VXR, although I noticed the engine management light flashing in some sort of sequence

[MICHAELLEVI]

Can’t seem to be able to do this with my vectra c 2.2 automatic how do you do it with an automatic

[vickyshields]

I know this an old post, came across this post while trying to find cause of a problem with car. Although my car dosnt show fault code, my engine management light flashes? Only while doing this tho not at any other time. Corsa 07. Thanks

[adeyinkafagbayi]

Thank you. Very helpful info and explanation. 👍

[MafyooRbrts]

I've got a 2017 corsa and this isn't working... any suggestions
The fault I'm getting is the engine power is reducing whilst I'm driving

[zm]

Old video I have yellow engine block light also codes: 013004, 013008, 017015, 017011. Oil is in the wires from oil pressure thing.

[natalieislovely]
