Opel Movano Diesel 2017: Warning light flashes and ignition key problems

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2014 Opel Vivaro Diesel. In my case, it was the control unit that was defective. My glow plug light was constantly flashing and sometimes I couldn't start the car. The diagnosis was a bit complicated because the error message was misleading, but in the end they replaced the control unit and it has been running perfectly ever since. It was a more serious problem, but fortunately the mechanics at my garage sorted it out. It could actually be the Hall sensor in your case, but if not, it could also be the control unit. So, off to the mechanic! Good luck with that!

Hey, thanks for the quick reply! Your experience sounds very similar to mine. Do you remember how much you had to fork out for the ECU repair on your Opel Vivaro? And has anything else come up since then, or is everything running smoothly? Thanks again!

Hey, sure, no problem! So, the repair of my control unit cost me a total of around €600. Since then, everything has been fine and it runs like a charm. And as for the Hall sensor you mentioned, I had that checked too. But in the end it wasn't the problem at all. So, after I went to the mechanic, everything ran like clockwork again. So, I don't know, but let the people do it, they know what they're doing. It may cost a bit, but it's worth it in the end! Good luck with the mechanic, hopefully they'll get it right for you too!

Hey, thanks for the detailed information! That reassures me a little. 600 is a lot of money, but if everything runs smoothly afterwards, it seems to be worth it. In any case, I'll bring it up with my garage and see what they say. Your positive experience motivates me. Very kind of you to take the time to help me out. Thank you and all the best!
