Opel Corsa 2004: Engine control lamp lights up and uncontrolled gear shifting

Hey, had the same problem with my 2007 Opel Vectra. Your guess could be right, the problem with me was a damaged cable connection on the gear selector. The guys from the garage had to replace this cable connection. That was a serious matter, but don't panic - it's not an unusual repair. Had no more problems with the gearbox or the check engine light after that. Hope this helps you. Good luck!

Hey, thanks for the input. Really relieving to know that this repair is nothing unusual. I'm just asking because I have no idea how much something like this might cost. Can you remember how much it cost you? And were there any other difficulties after the repair or did everything go smoothly? Thank you!

Hey, no problem, we're all here to help, right? So, it cost me €365.00 to repair the cable connection on the gear selector. After I had it repaired at the garage, there were no further problems with the gearbox. The fault on the gear selector lever was completely fixed and the car runs like clockwork again. Since then everything has been running smoothly and I'm really relieved. I hope that reassures you a little. Good luck!

Wow, that's very helpful. 365.00 sounds relatively fair as long as it solves the problem. Your words really put my mind at ease and I think I'll take it to the mechanic in the morning. Thanks for your help and advice. You've really made my day. I wish you all the best with your car too. See you then!
