Current problems with my car, any chance of help?

Post by DoDaniel »

I seem to be asking quite a few questions on here, it seems to be one problem after the other with my car.

I was just wondering if anyone could help me with them as I have made so many new topics on this section of the Corsa-B forum. I thought I'd just put them all into one topic, any help would be much appreciated.

The steering on my car feels a little weird, it seems to be normal when steering to the left but then becomes quite heavy when steering to the right. I believe this may be the EPS that needs to be reset (Please correct me if I am wrong).

Rough idling, will be cleaning the idle control valve as soon as I can to see if there is any major problems with it or if it just needs a good clean.

There is a knocking noise when the steering is turned completely to the right or the left, this usually happens when the car is moving at a slow speed I.E. parking. I would think that this could be the CV joints that need replacing or just the CV boot.

And finally, my clutch. When I go to push the clutch pedal down it make a sort of clicking sound. This can be heard clearly when the engine is turned off and the clutch is pressed down. Could this possibly be that I need a new clutch pedal or the clutch cable just needs adjusting or replacing.

Anyway, that's all that seems to be the problem with my car at the moment. Any help would be appreciated as I don't want to be leaving this and then something breaks on me and costs me even more money.

does the clutch clicking have any effect on gear changing? ie. make it harder?

No it does not, it only makes a clicking noise when pressing the clutch down. When the engine is turned on and it is pushed down you can hear it clicking from underneath the car. At least that's were I think it is coming from.

Have you checked the clutch pedal itself? Could get the wd40 out :) Try anything simple first and if that doesn't resolve anything you might be better off taking it to a garage hopefully one you know and trust just to check it out don't really want your clutch going while cruising down the motorway.
