Computer failure

Chevrolet Vectra 1997
Do all the Vectras' computers discharge with time? Because mine is not clear at all. I was told the computer cannot be repaired and a new one is rather expensive. Is it true? Thanks.

Yes, it is true. You can try checking on the Internet for cheaper computers.

Hello, the problem with my vehicle is that, when stopped at traffic light, it purrs continuously. I need to set a gear so that the annoying noise disappears. But since yesterday, gears cannot be changed, or at least they are not registered. I was told it must be the computer that is failing, but I do not know how to make sure that this is the problem and where to buy one. Even more, the interior light has stopped working.

It might be a transmission programming problem or a solenoids failure. I recommend you to scan your vehicle so that a diagnosis is provided.

Engine noise

Chevrolet Vectra 2008  70000 miles
When starting the engine, all the lights are working but the engine makes a clicking noise repeatedly. I was told it could be the battery, but I really do not know what to do. If I change the battery, do I need to configurate the computer? Thanks.

The same happened to me yesterday and the problem was in the gas key, which was making the clicking noise. I changed the key to the neutral position, disabling it, and the car has started working much better. I am planning to take it to the gas service for it to be checked soon.
