Vauxhall Fault Finding
Engine management or ESP light on, limp mode, or power steering that comes and goes? Our Vauxhall fault finding specialists at our Tarring Road garage in Worthing use Vauxhall-specific diagnostic equipment and manufacturer data to find the real cause, then explain it clearly and give you a quote before any repair work starts.
Dealer-Level Equipment
Why Choose Cedar Garage for Vauxhall Fault Finding?
We've been working on Vauxhalls for a long time, and our technicians use that experience to get to the real cause rather than guessing, saving you money on parts that were never needed. Accurate Vauxhall fault finding means checking live data and testing the sensors, wiring and components involved, not just reading a code. We look after the whole range, from the Corsa, Astra and Insignia to the Mokka, Crossland, Grandland and Zafira, including older models and the latest versions.
You get the same level of equipment as the main dealer, including software updates and programming, with the personal service of an independent garage. We can collect your Vauxhall and return it when the work is done, or provide a hire car while it's with us, and we'll never spend more of your money without your approval.

Frequently Asked Questions
Vauxhall Fault Finding FAQs
What does Vauxhall fault finding involve?
We use Vauxhall-specific diagnostic equipment to read any fault codes, then test the parts involved to find the real cause. We'll explain what's wrong and give you a quote before any work goes ahead.
My Vauxhall engine management light is on. Can I still drive it?
If the light is steady, you can usually drive for a short time, but book it in soon. If it's flashing or the car has lost power, stop when it's safe and give us a call.
How much does Vauxhall fault finding cost?
We start with an initial fault finding check at a fixed price, which we'll confirm when you book. If the fault needs more time to track down, we'll always ask you first.
How long does Vauxhall fault finding take?
Many faults are found during the initial check, while faults that come and go can take longer. We'll keep you updated throughout.
Why does the ESP light keep coming on in my Vauxhall?
It can be caused by a faulty sensor or something as simple as a software update being needed. Book in for fault finding and we'll find the cause and fix it in house.
Why does my Vauxhall heater fan only work on the highest setting?
This is a very common Vauxhall fault, usually caused by a part that controls the fan speed. Book in and we'll confirm the cause and fix it.
Why does the power steering keep cutting out on my Vauxhall?
This is a well-known Vauxhall fault. As it affects how the car steers, book in quickly and we'll find exactly what's causing it.
Why has my Vauxhall gone into limp mode?
Limp mode is your Vauxhall protecting itself after spotting a fault, so it cuts power. Book in for fault finding and we'll find the cause and quote for the right repair.
My garage says I need to go to the Vauxhall dealer. Do I?
No. We have the right equipment for Vauxhall software updates, programming and coding, so your car can be diagnosed, fixed and programmed in one place.
