The turbo is working fine,but could it still be the turbo.

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...

Since I've had the issue with my Cav smoking I've always had one of the injector not working right.I've been told today by a guy (an old mechanic I know) that it could be the injector that is causing my Cav to smoke.He doesn't believe its the oil stem seals due car smoking alot whilst idling. There ...

Will hve to get rid then.

Thanks guys.

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.

Thanks vexorg,airlock seems to be sorted now.

I started my Cav 1.7TD this morning and alot of blue smoke came out of the exhaust.I took it for a drive and everytime I pulled away from a junction there was a puff of blue smoke. I had to drop someone off today 80 miles away and the Cav run fine without no blue smoke coming out of exhaust,but ever...

Please,could anyone tell me how to get an airlock out of my Cav 1.7TD cooling system.

Tested signal on remote fob and no signal,so might want reprogramming or is the remote fob buggered and I need a new fob.

I wouldn't recomend vxon, but I am biased as the previous owners had issues with opinions outside of their little clique's narrow view. You might have more luck than me. I've joined voxon and you were right about the forum. :o I will let you know the cause of the problem,once I've got the key fob t...

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. Is Vauxcom and Opcom one fault reader/programmer or are they two different fault code/programmers? I don't want to buy a...

I first checked the key fob for everything,buttons on the circuit board to see if they were still soldered.I changed the battery and checked the metal battery contacts,everything seems to be fine.

Took battery off for about 15 mins to reset ECU,then re sync key fob but no joy.

So let me see iirc,I don't need to input the radio code when disconnecting/reconnecting the battery.Radio will still work?

I don't have the car security code/pass,I've just bought the corsa.Vauxhall want £36 plus for security car pass. So,if I don't have the security code,then will the radio not work,if I disconnect and reconnect the battery?..bc you said,depending on the head unit you have,which is CD30 (one that you l...

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...

The carpet is dry in the front and back seats. There is four relays related to the central locking in the BCM,which I'll inspect later. https://i607.photobucket.com/albums/tt160/roygrave/BCM.jpg K24D - dead-lock K24A - driver door K24C - unlock K24B - lock I have a corsa c 3 door donor car that I ca...

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.

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.

I have a spare remote control key fob (CLKF) that works fine for unlocking/locking central locking on my old 3 door corsa c,which I'm scrapping after I've salvage everything for the new 5 door corsa c. Can I reprogram the 3 door remote control key fob to work the central locking on the 5 door corsa ...

So would the opcom diagnose what the problem?

No I don't.

I have a corsa c and have a problem with the central locking.The central locking on the remote key fob was a bit temperamental,before it stopped working.The central locking works fine with the key but not the remote key fob.I have changed the battery in the remote key fob and also checked 1,11,17 an...

Much appreciated Robsey

Please,could anyone tell me the torque setting on a water pump for Cav TDI and is there a sequence for tightening up the bolts.Should I also use gasket sealant with the paper gasket.
