Noticed this on MOK tonight, seems to happen when turning right at around 10mph or more. I assume its an oil surge, but this has never happened on other corsas I've driven.

Checked oil, and last owner has filled up way too much, so much is goes on the metal of the dipstick alm:
So it's not low oil,

 

[Danny]

Could the high oil level not be causing it?
My 1.0 really spat it's dummy out when I bought it and it had been overfilled.

Love how everything with MOK gets blamed on the unnamed 'previous owner'

I think we all know who the previous owner is haha.

I havnt touched oil, so definatly not me. Just thought, I'd check incase was serious, obviously ill be changing oil and filling properly when have the chance

Top up the brake fluid :thumbup:

Edit: read it wrong sorry lol

 

[Vegas]

That's handbrake lights, but thanks anyway

 

[corsa_man]

Relised that after

 

[rocksta]

My second corsa did that. Turned out to be the oil pump. Engine went poof not long after

 

[Rob]

agreed, its a sign of a struggling pump.

I jinxed it dammit! i said its last ageees! Last owner was my retarded cousin, mental level of a downsyndrome.

But mark we never put oil in it, we only ever serviced it once. did you check the oil after running it? or even wipe the dip stick first lol?

 

[Rob]

id reckon mark can read a dipstick, considering his skillzorz

and he can type a work without addimg more letters to the end (most of the time)

Im sure he can ****ing spell better than you aswel.

 

[Coleman]

Touche sir

 

[Vegas]

Are these a pain to change? Behind cambelt iirc?

No chance it's oil pressure sensor

 

[Ash]

My old Corsa did this when it was too full/empty, the pump may be failing due to higher oil pressure from increased oil level?

 

[Vegas]

No idea, just need to know where it is lol

 

[Ash]

The pump is behind the timing belt, have to take it off to change I think k, not 100% sure though, not had much experience with these engines past changing plugs etc

 

[craig55]

It is behind timing belt simaler set up to a xe tbh

 

[Vegas]

FFS, only just read reply above

Car now sounds like this

Going to die anytime tbh. Not removed oil excess yet, although surely this confirms it isn't an issue with having too much oil? Don't want to waste fresh oil if pump needs doing

Sounds like it is starving the top end from oil
