What does the orange light on dashboard of a vauxhall astra mean with car and spanner?

The orange light on the dashboard of a Vauxhall Astra with a car and spanner symbol is the engine management light. This light illuminates when the car's engine control unit (ECU) detects a problem with the engine.

The engine management light can come on for various reasons, including:

- A faulty oxygen sensor

- A problem with the spark plugs or ignition system

- A faulty fuel injector

- A blocked catalytic converter

- An exhaust system leak

If the engine management light comes on, it is important to have the car inspected by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible. Driving with the engine management light on can damage the engine and lead to costly repairs.

The mechanic will be able to use a diagnostic tool to identify the cause of the problem and recommend the necessary repairs.
