Hi, after a bit of advice please -
the gf's corsa b- 1.2 8v, is juddering like hell on idle and setting off, ive had the tappets done, changed the oil, plugs and ht leads and for a couple of weeks it was ok, but its now back to its old habits. ive checked the oil and theres still plenty in, taken spark plugs out and cleaned a bit of black shit off them - not good i know.... any ideas?? the egr valve has also been replaced about 4-6 months ago

thanks

Change the coolant temp sensor

new sensor from vaux will cost about £11 inc. VAT

right-hand rear of the manifold, take the inlet cover off, just reach down behind it, you need a 19mm spanner to do it and its a bastard to get to unless you remove the alternator bracket, which is an 8mm torx bolt.

I don't have a 1.2 8v

but I did the CTS on a corsa this monday just gone as it was exactly the same issue as yours, solved it no end!

No pics tho sorry

Also, you can't adjust the ICV, just clean/replace it, but tbh it won't be the cause.
