hi everybody
need some help please, my friend has a corsa b 1.2 8v 103,000 miles,
he's only getting 12mpg if he lucky and there seems to be some kind of whirring noise from the engine, sounds like more from the cam belt area, but might not be has im deaf as pensioner, the last time the belt was changed was at 65,000, there also seems to be a small loss of power.
any advice would be great
kind regards matt:D
 
I would suspec the throttle control valve. Does it seem underpowered and suffer from random surges and stalls?

The maf sensor may also be dirty and the car is running too rich.

Your best bet is to get it on a diagnostic check and also check the emissions. If it is running rich then you might have killed the cat.
 
it could be the fact that its a 1.2l and in the 100k mark it probably getting knackered, i had an old renault 1.2l and had 120,000 on the clock and it sounded the same lol. and if your only getting 12mpg probably leaking petrol ....
