Vauxhall Meriva tcl and eml comming on for the past 6 months
Variant: 1.4 SE petrol
Model Year: 2012
Categories:
Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights
I purchased this car 11 months ago with 42,000 on the clock but over the past 6 months have had nothing but problems with the above lights comming back on within 2 weeks after the garage have diagnosed and fixed the problem !
To date I've had the following replaced .
1) New Coil Pack ,Plugs 2)Both Lambda Sensors changed ( 2 months apart ) .3)Brake Light Switch .
2 weeks on both lights are back on again and it's running erratic again ,this time with the following faults /codes .
ABS fault code , u0401 invalid data from ECM .
EPS fault code , c0551 option configuration .
EPS fault code , c056e ecu software vin not programmed .
ABS/Traction control light has fault with body control module.
Suggest taking it to Vauxhall .
Before I throw any more money at this any ideas please .This is the worst car I've owned but it might be a common or simple fix that has been overlooked .
Many Thanks

Lionheart1 added another point .
Sorry 1 other point to add to my previous post .
MPG read out has recently started to act erratic e.g. Reads 99mpg and then fluctuates to 14 mpg and continues to read erratic even though speed and driving is consistent but all other dials are reading correctly .

Looks like you bought a pig in a poke . especially for a car that had only 42000 on the clock that I assume you verified was true . There are too many faults , doubt there is a simple fix . Coil packs , plugs , o2 sensors and brake switch are not unreasonable to need replaced but other faults are more involved as you can see from this link which refers to an Astra but should be the same .You may have no alternative but to go to a VX dealership where , hopefully it is diagnosed as something not too bad and does not cost you an arm and a leg .
