Hi. New member checking in, and for me, that usually means only one thing . . . I have a problem with a car! Member by proxy this time, my Daughter's car. 1600 2011 Astra Estate. I'll do some searching, then post a topic if I can't find the answer. Cheers. 'Doc' (John)

Hi....welcome to the Club Glad to see that you have resolved the numerous issues and positive outcome

Great diagnostic skills used to determine faults rather than just replacing components in an attempt to resolve the issues. Thanks for giving feedback and solutions

So, that was easier than I was expecting. New Cam Cover arrived this morning, fitted it, ran it, checked/cleared Fault Codes, all sorted. It had also failed for the Stabilitrak Warning Message and Light. Removed the front ABS Sensors, R/H one had a bit of Brake Dust on it, cleaned both. Poked a thin strip of Solvent-soaked Cloth down the holes and spun the Hub to try and clean the Sensor Ring. That fault cleared and didn't come back, happy days. Took it down for the retest, passed.

Hello everyone

Welcome to the forum. Feel free to post pics of your car. If you need any advice on your Corsa, there is always someone who could help.

Hi mate. Thanks for the reply and yeah it is an absolute beast but I think it's the new Astra's 1.2 130T lump they've thrown in or similar, I've never heard a Corsa sound like this ever it blows me away every time I drive it and when I put it into sport mode........ well it's crazily insane just bonkers!! I chose auto as preference my past few cars have been but have manual licence and on most reviews they slated manual, said auto was best for this engine and being the 130 turbo it had a few extra bits like twin pipe sports exhaust, racing brakes front & rear also and ultimate door seal plates and badges but told it's a rare Corsa now as can't order new now?! But I'm super chuffed with it and was so happy to get that call 2 weeks before Christmas to say it's been delivered as I was told could be 15 weeks or more when I ordered it mid November Cheers Aaron

Hi mate I completely forgot about sharing my photos of my new Corsa ultimate and I also went for the 130 turbo!!........ it's like it's been given a steroid injection

Hi, we’re currently in the process of the dreaded wet belt problem. Vauxhall are basically wiping their hands of us saying that yes this problem is covered under an extended warranty however because we have had our services elsewhere and not with an actual Vauxhall dealership that we need to produce itemised lists of what have been used in the services over the years. Luckily we know the garages and the owners that we’ve had the services done and they have said they have used the correct oil but the ‘requirements’ have changed through the years. Basically making it near on impossible and to catch you out at the easiest point to say we are not covered. Not once have I ever been told when buying a vehicle that if you don’t service with them than your not entitled to extended warranties with an issue. We have had services like you are supposed to, paid our money at approved garages it’s an utter joke! We’re going to have to pay for the wet belt to be replaced but are going to fight Vauxhall every way!! This is a problem that should have been recalled by Vauxhall, what a joke. Any advice is welcome and any success stories getting anything back from Vauxhall? Many thanks
