I purchased the newest low mileage vehicle I could afford to reduce running costs. However, the engine light came on, so I had it checked.

I was told that there were numerous fault codes, some where cleared but I had to have both oxygen sensors replaced.

The other faults were, Manifold flap, Thermostat and Cam shaft
sensor.

I have been told that I can wait to have these changed due to the costs involved.

The garage advised that they are shocked that so many faults are seen on such a new car with low mileage.

I have written to Vauxhall, to see if they are will to help with the other things that are needed.

Why and how has this happened?

Would appreciate your feedback.
