Vauxhall Corsa acceleration changes
Variant: 1.3 CDTI
Model Year: 2004

Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Hi everyone,
I'll have to travel around 500 km tomorrow and today I checked everything (full service) on my Opel Corsa C. Everything went perfect until once (only once) it accelerated more than I pushed the accelerating pedal (or throttle how is it called!). It lasted for 3 or 4 seconds and it returned to normal again. I was driving constantly, around 50km/h.
Is it something I should worry about and send it to the mechanic again or start the trip like nothing happened?!
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
