2006 Vauxhall Zafira engine management light coming on and off
Year: 2006
Variant: 1.9 CDTI
Categories:
Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
The engine management light has started to come on now and again when driving and the car won't accelerate as normal. If I turn off the engine and then restart it The light goes out and things are normal again. The light sometimes comes on again and again the car loses power (this must be some sort of fail safe). Sometimes I can go days without it happening. It had its MOT today and passed (not that it wouldn't if the issue isn't something that could be picked up on an MOT).
Your advice would be very much appreciated.
Cheers.

Sounds like car is going into safe mode . You will need to get it scanned and see what faults show .
