Opel Corsa lite 1.4 fuel problem

Hi, there is a smell of fuel in my oil, I thought it could be injectors which are leaking when the car is switched off or the map sensor which gone bad. In the vacuum hose has a petrol smell in it which is connected to the fuel pressure switch, and the hose connected to the map sensor has the...

Hydraulic clutch

Hey guys First time posting. I have a problem with my 2008 Corsa utility hydraulic clutch, sometimes it doesn't clutch and the gears would not shift. We have changed everything from the sleeve, the release bearing in the gearbox to the pressure plate but it still gives the same problem and...

Aw shame. You don't like Opel. I don't like VW but I don't carry on about it like a broken record.

Be my guest and load your own "VW Problem solver" thread, then you can rant in there and keep out of this thread if you don't like it. By the way, I have nothing against Opel as such, but having so many problem posts referenced in one thread can be a helpline for others with the same problems.

Smoking Opel Corsa D - A14XER

Hello Everyone, I'm driving a 2014 Opel Corsa D, A14XER motor and recently sent the car in for repairs. The car overheated and blew the head gasket. Sent the head to engineers, confirmed, it wasn't bad, nothing warped and bent, replaced values and seals and cleaned it up, didn't need a skimming...

Man my Corsa was a good little car.
Back when we just got married we fit everything in that little car and went on holiday.
 
May as well jump in here.

I drive a 2020 Corsa D with ~7500km - bought new.

On Thursday I noticed a distinct and not so subtle CRRRR GADOINGKKKKKKK noise from the front left when going over a speed bump at roughly 25km/h. Initially I thought it was a top shock mounting but that's more of a GODONGDOGONG.

Took it to Opel to have it checked out but the workshop had closed already and I initially couldn't replicate the noise. Tried compressing the shocks on both sides of the car through a liberal application of my 65KGs, all to no avail, the shocks do as they're supposed to.

Then I got smart and pulled up from the wheel arch. Lo and behold, a godoingkkk.

Told Opel to come fetch it Friday morning and fix. Turns out the suspension etc is all fine. The actual shock itself seems to be damaged internally in some way - likely a factory defect. They returned the car midday Friday and have ordered a replacement Gabriel shock (standard part) and will collect, fit and deliver once they receive it - likely Wednesday.
 
Still not the end of the thread.
