My corsa 1.0b is welllllllll loud (like a diesel).
I changed the oil about 8 months ago and need to do it again asap. I bought some oil engine flush stuff to clean the engine out before i give it some fresh oil and want to know if its a good idea?
I REALLY want to do it just for the satisfaction of cleaning all that s**t out of the engine if you know what i mean but i have been reading on the net it could f**k the engine up?!
I need advice from people who have done this before bearing in mind the mileage, i have very small amounts of greeny black sludge around the oil cap sometimes and its never had regular oil changes cause im an idoit

Quite a bit, when i worked at vauxhall it was £400, but a back street garage will do it much much cheaper, about £130

also if it is really bad i would get it changed asap as the tenstioner(sp) could fail, and it will be much more the £400
