"Check Engine"
Discussion
Have anyone seen this message come up on the instrument cluster- in the middle- together with a beeping noice??
I got it today and I nearly had s heart attack. There are no other indications though and all fluids are good. However it has jusr exceeded the next mark for service which I'm reminded of as well so I think that's irrelavent.

This may be a DTC. Check engine is normally an indication a code has been thrown. If you are about to have a service thye will check it out. I got it today and I nearly had s heart attack.

To prevent further palpitations, get someone to read the code with an OBD2 device. Some of us have got Efilive and would be quite prpared to hook it up and check it for you. Where are you based?
Have I seen it? Man have I seen it. It's the bane of my life. The fcuking thing is always going off, along with its, oh so irritating, bloody chime.
In all probability there is nothing wrong. If you check the fault codes you can see what's troubling it. Chances are its nothing to worry yourself about. Lots of these cars throw that warning.
My issue is related to my lpg conversion and always occurs as the car switches to gas from petrol. Again nothing to worry about, but very irritating. So far numerous attempts to tune it out have all failed.

Personally, I wouldn't take anything for granted.In all probability there is nothing wrong. If you check the fault codes you can see what's troubling it. Chances are its nothing to worry yourself about. Lots of these cars throw that warning.

The ECU (computer) has logged a system fault. I would get it checked just in case it is more serious.
I've never seen it before so I simply prepared for the front to turn into a fireball.All together after 3.......
De da dit dit dit dit dit............
Its usually the O2 sensors when there`s nothing untoward, but get Monkfish to flash the codes when you get there.
remember that if its serious the car will go to limp home mode so as long as you are sensible and don`t drive if you do, you`ll be fine.

i find it amazing anyone would consider just ignoring a check light because these cars always throw them up. These cars do not always throw them up, poorly modified cars regularly throw them up. To the OP you have two choices, one go to dealer and get them to give you the error code then post on here to check what it is before bending over to Vauxhall. The 2nd is to get a compatible odbii reader and read the code yourself then determine what to do.
If the CEL has remained on get it checked pronto. If the light has gone out well it means several cycles without fault have passed so might have been a glitch - still get it checked for it will be logged. Not even going to bother at guess work for what it might be, unless that is, you have long tube headers then I'll bet a testicle to what it is
