hi i have a corsa b sri 16v ecotec i have replaced my 02 sensor as was using to much fuel and the ecu light still comes on when the ecu light comes on my car judders if u stay at 2000 - 3000 revs any idear wot this could be HELP cheers

ronnie

it could be you throttle position sensor

or majorly your headgasket if you car gets hot at the same time and is sucking air into your water system (may not be the case as sounds unlikely)

cud be 101 things tbh mate, i would take it to a garage and get a diognostics done, that way u dont spend silly money replacing parts for no reason.

iv dont the paper clip test and it came bak with the egr valve iv blocked that off now and im not sure if it is the heat the is like a troth substance in the water but it has lost no power and it dose not over heat could it be the map sensor

check your oil mate if its milky then its your headgasket

have you had it plugged into a diagnostics?

my oil is good no not had it on comp yet there is like a froth in the water bottle could a leaking pipe do this

oh and it dose sound like its miss fireing wen idleing to

heya buddy, im just new to this and ive got a corsa b 1.4 16v eco tec and my headgasket went on my car recently and it does sound like its the headgasket unfortunatly as all the same things were happening to my car, luckily i know a mechanic and done it for £300 but a garage was wanting atleast £700, so i would get someone who knows there stuff about cars to have a look at your car

Awrite folks,

Im just new to this site and was just wondering if anyone knows whether theres stickers available to put on my car, Thanks

hi all cheers for ur help rang my uncal i told him it cant be the head as the water bottle is not bubbleing over..................Then started bubbling like mad lol just my luck n e way bin told to try that steel stuff for now n he gonna sort it for nuffin thank f**k cheers guys

I do hope you come back and let us know how you get on with the steel seal stuff. It has good write ups on the site, but there again they would hardly print bad reports, now would they.
Hope it all works out for you,

yeah i will keep posting on here to let u all know if it works my cusin is a mot tester /mac he used it on a clio and it lasted 6 or so months lets c how long it last in my corsa

is your engine warning light coming on aswell mate?

with the idleing problems and juddering does sound like your idle control valve tbh mate i had the same problem on my first corsa, took it to a mechanic who hooked it up to a diagnostics and that was the problem so best to have it plugged in then it will tell you for cert and you wont need to spend out on parts which you dont need

put sum steel seal in my corsa today and seems to have worked done 40 mile n no over heating no loseing water ill keep u posted...........still juddering tho just gonna have it put on the comp n c wot it comes bak with

thats good though mate atleast thats one problem temporarily sorted
