Post by chris_gilly »

hi
right ive got a few questions!!
i had a car full in my corsa 1.2 8v breeze and it seemed dead lowly and not wanting to pull!! were as my mate has the same one and it can easily pull!! the clutch isnt slpping as the revs arnt fluctuating! its just taking time to go faster!!

would a good service sort this??

ALSO
as its 10 years old now im thinking a good service anyway!
so what should i do??

u need a good service and u will also need to change all the filters oil filter air filter use a good oil

and get some wynns engine flush

wack it in and high idle it say 2000 rpm no higher for 15 mins it will free all the engine up get rid of the carbon build up make sure u drain all the oil from the car then remove the oil filter

once you have done that put the sump plug back on use new washer put ur oil filter on use a good filter not a poo halfords one lol

and then fill your car up the best oil is probs castrol GTX or higher its 10 40 watt oil

use a K and n air filter :)
And I am back in a B after all these years whoop
