Hey,
Being having a few problems with Corsa...
Symptoms are...
Extremely noisey exhaust, rattling etc etc,
Loss of power... struggles to get anywhere near 60mph
Ticking sound from engine,
slightly lower fuel economy.
Had cat and part of exhaust replaced, as advised by garage, and it did nothing but dent my bank balance.
Now being told there's a problem with airflow sensors. Does this fit?

def air mass sensor! dont go vauxhall as they will rip u off. get a diagnostics and find out the problem. if it is a air mass sensor then get it from ebay. i got mine through the dealer and it cost me all n all £270 inc diagnostics test. you can get the same part on ebay for around £50. exhaust could be stones in there lol. i'm not to sure on that. ticking is probably your tappets, mine is doin the same at the moment but to sort it get a service done and have an oil/engine flush done as this will give your engine a good clean and get all the crap out of it. oh does the engine management come on.

if you look at the engine, u will have the your air filter box. follow the pipe and it looks like a little barrel with the sensor on it.

That's the one. So if i disconnect that, I should make no difference. Where as if there is a difference, its not that?

Is it possible that it could be the lambda sensor?

dont think it would be a lambda sensor. if you disconnect the air mass meter then your car will still drive a go kart speeds
