Vauxhall Corsa ticking noise from engine/ flat spot
Variant: 1,2 comfort
Model Year: 2002
Categories:
Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
my girlfriends corsa(1.2) engine seems to have a rather loud ticking noise from the engine(like fuel injector clicking but noisier), the noise started a couple of weeks ago. A full service was carried out with vauxhall parts and all filters/oil replaced. Noise is still apparent. The engine has developed a flatspot around 2000rpm as well, this only happened after doing a throttle body decoke, strange thing is that i disconnected battery and the flat spot appears to have gone away for the moment?? Any help with the loud ticking noise greatly appreciated as it is very annoying! thanks.
