Spanner light

[Stuart Webster]

The spanner light won’t go off in my Corsa 1. 3 cdti. I’ve tried new fuel filters ,air flow meter.When you start the engine it’s very fumiy and a tad smokey any ideas thanks

Hi Stuart...welcome to the Forum

Sounds like it could be a Service lamp which may need extinguishing if it had a service but wasn't reset...or it needs a service!

Diesel engines do tend to over-inject slightly on startup as the fuel isn't completely burnt until cylinder temperatures increase sufficiently...which isn't usually too long afterwards. 

Check also that the oil is not degraded (see earlier comment on servicing) and that the level isn't dropping.

Cheers,  Trevor

Thanks Trevor it has been serviced recently it was about 8 weeks after service that it came on and had it on laptop but no fault codes came up it went off on journey home but came back on next morning thanks Stuart

Sounds like a soft fault....could be an Air Mass Meter not reading accurately and then clears but leaving a historic fault code. I'm sure there must be some trace of it in there somewhere.

Did it happen after the service or before...only something may have been disturbed (connection, etc) and causing the lamp to trigger?

[Stuart Webster]

It happened a few weeks after service 

i have also tried disconnecting the battery but too no avail

Here is a link with some probable causes....certainly worth looking at the easy ones which shouldn't take long to check
