The viscosity of oil will always become watery when heated, this engine requires a more high performance oil which are always more watery, certainly when hot....mrix

Hi this is the thing, with a older engine the blow by caused by a worn engine is too much and the orange seal no longer worked, it obviously worked when the car was New but the amount of oil drawn from the PCV Valve to the turbo seal is too much and the seal cannot cope, I had already replaced the PCV valve twice and the orange seal 4 times... this is why people opt for the catch can method as the seal no longer works regardless if its New or not.....mrix

Hello, on a whole it was a lovely reliable little car, if you see these cars around even today they all look great, very little rust or corrosion, many look like new cars still, the big let down however was the power, going up steep hills or trying to get away quickly from a junction or roundabout was difficult... I think I had the Corsa for a couple of more years before I had quite a upgrade to my present car which is a 2013 W204 3ltr Mercedes..... mrix

Hi, for me and many others its no longer about replacing the turbo seal as even a brand new one fails to work, have you tried removing yours personally and looked to see how the oils still leaks from it ? in many cases its not going to damage your car but it can often cause a leak etc, in just 1 year I replaced my turbo seal 3 times, nothing really anything wrong with the seal its just because the engine being older has so much more blow by that the seal even when brand new is no longer up to the job... you might have a engine that is in very good condition and has hardly any oil blow by coming from PCV valve, I think its going to be different depending of wear and tear of the engine.... mrix

Hi, I'm glad I came across your video. This morning I went in for an alignment and I found out that part of the rear subframe sheared off and a control arm was freely hanging from the wheel! Had I not gone in for an alignment I wouldn't have known about it as it was never and issue and never noticed excessive corrosion on the subframe during the MOT. To make matters worse this must have put unimaginable amounts of stress on all other suspension components but I'm happy to be alive to tell. I have called the local dealership and they will inspect it and then contact headquarters. The problem is a serious one and I'm without a car now!

Could you perhaps tell me whether the two 'pipes' of the new fork interfere with the folding mechanism in some way? Du to the design with the two horizontal bars (hope you know what I mean) they extend further upwards than the original ones. I don't suppose it is a problem for folding, but if it is, there are forks that look more like the original ones and I fold that bike often. Thanks again!

Just had my 2012 E Class estate rear subframe replaced free of charge. It has a full Mercedes service history and whilst it was in for service in June 2023, they sent a video showing me the hole in the subframe. I was informed parts were on back order and they will call me as soon as one arrives. 10 months later I had to slam on my brakes and the back of the car almost felt detached. At first I thought the front left brake was defective but then realised it could be the subframe. Took it to a local garage and yes the subframe was badly corroded to the point it failed. I called Mercedes who informed me to get it recovered as this will get my car seen straight away. 2 days later my car was ready to be picked up, not a penny to pay but I did opt for them to put under seal on whilst it was in. It’s definitely worth getting it done as it feels like a new car now!
