Problem with a VAUXHALL CORSA 1.2L 16v 2004

Timing chain noisy on cold start and fast idle, also noisy around 2,500 rpm when engine up to operating temperature.

The fault was cured by carrying out an extended Forté Advanced Formula Motor Flush for an hour and a half.

The noise had gone before the oil was drained and had also completely gone on cold start-up.
