There is this light that come up on the dash board written: GDI ECO, I discover that is not coming up again. What is the solution? And what does it stand for. Then is good to remove the thermostat of a vehicle in hot weather country?

This light you have is basically a fuel economy monitor. The GDI ECO light indicates when GDI is operating at its most efficient level. GDI stands for Gasoline Direct Injection. Basically, it is telling you when you are running the vehicle in the most efficient manner.

As far as removing the thermostat, I don't recommend it. I have actually see cases where cars would overheat as a result of the thermostat being removed.

How can it be restored,? I recently discovered that my car SRS light is ON when the car starts , what is the problem with the airbag? And how the light can be restored to normal. Thank you so much master.

You need to have the computer scanned to determine what is causing the SRS light to be on.
