 Vauxhall Astra H estate - 07 1.3 1.3 cdti Engine fault codes... - Haywain
The car/spanner warning light illuminated on the instrument panel at the weekend after about 50 miles of each of two 100 mile journeys. I had also noticed a hesitation when accelerating, though no other obvious drop-off in performance.

I did the 'pedal test' to get the fault codes which appeared as ECN 068304 (fleetingly) then ECN 040061 which I understand translate as:

P0683 - Glow plug circuit low voltage B-038 and/or (?)
P0683 - Glow plug circuit open B-038

P0400 - Exhaust gas recirculation valve malfunction B-051 and/or (?)
P0400 - Exhaust gas recirculation valve stuck B-051

I understand that this warrants attention, but I wonder if anyone on here, who will undoubtedly know more about diesel engines than I, feels that I am in for a major shock - financial or otherwise.

Thanks.
