Re: Cav 1.7TD blowing blue smoke out of exhaust.
Robsey,would the valve seals (if damaged) cause the car to blow blue smoke (alot of blue smoke) out when its ticking over. The water pump was changed a few months ago.Could the water issues (heater changes between hot and cold) be the cause of blue smoke bc the old mechanic thinks could cause blue s...

Re: Cav 1.7TD blowing blue smoke out of exhaust.

There ...

Re: Cav 1.7TD blowing blue smoke out of exhaust.
Is it a difficult job to fix the valve stem seals or will stop leaks fix it.
When starting the car first thing and and pressing the accelerator it blows out blue smoke,which gradually clears the blue smoke.

Re: Corsa Central Locking Problem
So,can I reprogram a key fob (not the key) without the car pass,if I have Opcom?.. bc Im aware you can get car pass with Opcom v1.39,which I've read they don't make v1.39 anymore.

Re: Corsa Central Locking Problem
I have a CD30 radio,so don't needed the radio code. If the central locking module is faulty on the 5 door corsa,can I use the central locking module off the 3 door corsa or would they be different modules? I don't know if this will help to minimize the issue with locking/unlocking the doors with rem...

Re: Corsa Central Locking Problem
Does the remote central locking fob actually send a signal to the door actuator/s? If so,then the actuator/s could still be faulty.

Re: Corsa Central Locking Problem
I was told yesterday that I only need the security code to reprogram a new key and not to reprogram the remote control central locking fob.Is this correct?
Also,I was told,if the central locking works with the key,then all the actuators in the doors are working correctly.
