im sure i have seen this problem on here before a while ago and now its happening to my car! i have a 2000 x corsa b sxi (1.2 16v) the main problem is when im pulling out of junctions. the only way i can describe its is like when someone treads on a hose pipe and then takes their foot off. it saps the power and then all of a sudden gets a surge. its getting on my nerves now. could it be my pipercross filter been too dirty or maybe because i have en extended bonnet and the grille plastic welded, so not enough cold air is getting in. the car has only done 32,000? any help would be much appreciated.
cheers

Ive got the exact same problem, same car, same year, and I dont know what it is either. I dont have an induction kit or any engine mods. I'm going to put mine in for a service to see if that helps, My car has only done 29,000 miles so am at a loss
