You need to install a software ( that is included with the OPCOM) install USB driver and plug the OPCOM to obd2 port in the fusebox.

Yes the dash lights need to be ON.

Sounds like egr valve bud. I had it happen about 3 or 4 times now on diffrent vauxhalls.

As for the noise could it be exhaust blowing?
