Repair Questions and Answers
Question: 1993 Opel Corsa 1.2 mileage:
40,000. My little car is a European make, but the problem
is common. When I get out of the car after switching the
engine off, there is often a smell of petrol (gas). The
spark plugs have also been known to get wet when first
started, sometimes causing the engine not to start. I
have renewed the plugs, but the smell is still there.
Answer: Assuming the car is
fuel injected we would look for a faulty fuel pressure
regulator or some fuel injectors that are leaking
internally.
Question:
1992 Opel Kadett 1196 mileage: 77,000 Miles. There
is a loud noise coming from (it seems) under the car or
from the lower part of the engine. It only happens
when the car is moving so I can't pinpoint the location.
If I apply the brakes then the noise disappears
completely. Could there be something rubbing
against the brakes? There is no noise at all when
the car is stopped and the engine is revved up. In
addition, there is much less noise when I accelerate.
Answer: Check the brake pads, you may
be ready for brakes.
