Hesitation and lack of power.
The fault was cured by cleaning the intake system with Forté Diesel I.M.V. Cleaner as per instructions, Forté Clean and Protect was carried out and Forté's Diesel Specialist Injector Cleaner and Diesel Turbo Cleaner were added into the fuel tank.
After treatment an extended road test was carried out and the vehicle performance was restored.

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.
