Hi guys.
I own a 2000 model 1.4i Corsa B. I live in South Africa and the Corsas here got the Brazilian sourced engines. My car has 70 000 km's on it. Lately, when I switch the car off the engine surges just before it dies. It doesn't do it every time, which is also rather frustrating. Engine performs normally otherwise. Not sure if anyone will be able to help coz the engines here in South Africa are different to the ones you guys get there.
BTW ....... pity about West Ham going down. Thought they where going to make it.
Cheers.

as a general thing, I think what your describing is "dieseling" this is possibly due to overheating, or maybe the anti run on valve is faulty???? not 100% but possible things to consider , sounds like there is fuel still being able to enter the ports for a short while and the heat from the engine isallowing it to combust, hence the phrase dieseling.
as I said not 100% but its a possiblity.
good luck
Tony

Thanks for the advice K100RsA. I was thinking of leaving it until the next service at 75000km, but I'm scared it could damage the engine or something. What do you think? Nice rims btw ....... what are they? Only prob for the hammers will be that all their good players will probably leave now, James, Cole, Kanoute, Sinclair, Di Canio is defenitely going, Bowyer....... so they will probably have a lot of new players next season.
