Best Corsa owners club?
« on: 05 November 2014, 19:49:16 »

We are now the proud owners of a 2006 UK based VX Corsa. Nice car with an electric sunroof. Never seen one before on an older Corsa.

Anyway, thought I had better join a forum just in case anything goes wrong with it.

Which would be the best to join please? I don't want to pimp it or mod it, just fix it if it develops a problem.

Ask on here. Why bother with a corsa forum? It's a vauxhall and not inherently different to an astra or any other model. Ask on here and your likely to get the answer you need in minutes......innit?  ;D

This isn't a forum test.

We found a lovely 1.4 auto, low mileage 2006 car. Ticked all the boxes. all dashboard lights went off as they should.

Took it for the test drive and floored the throttle out of the yard and the EML came on and it was gutless e.g. flooring it at 30. Fine up to 30 from rest.

Flashed the codes out -  210 and 6. Logged on to their free WiFi while the guy gave us his endless spiel and add ons e.g. compulsary £98 admin fee. £500 for some warranty or other. Embarrassingly couldn't find what they meant. The salesman collared a mechanic who said it would be a lamda problem. Sounded reasonable . No room for negotiation on price at all (Main dealer) so walked.

You see a lot of that these days ....... just build it into the price & then I won't feel like/know I've been ripped off as much.  >:(

I thought that too but there was a definite break between the 210 before the 6.

OK, to answer your original question.

You can either have a go on one of the Corsa C Forums, where you will be advised to put a big exhaust on it, "cuz dat is well wikid, man"

Or, VXON, which has unfortunately died a death. (I must cancel my £15 a year membership).

Or ask your questions here?

Does that better answer your question?


As for the Fault Code, I'd say the TCM module is knackered.
