Hi,

I bought a 2003 Corsa C 1.2 16v SXi 2 months ago from a dealer. The car has started to loose power under acceleration and the car is noticeably slower than usually, it will feel fine and then all of a sudden the Revs stick and nothing happens for a few seconds. There is also a high pitched sucking noise when I take my foot completely off the accelerator and quickly back on. It does this when the car is at idle or moving.
I have been told this will be the MAF sensor, but I just want to be sure, but the sucking noise is more like a vacuum leak?
We plugged it in today and it has come up with the MAF sensor and O2 Sensor, where car I get these for cheap? They have quoted me stupid prices!
Also, if I am on the motorway doing 70 for a while (10 - 15 mins) my clutch gets very heavy, as it is usually very light, what could this be?

I should have a warranty from the dealer but he is really messing me around with it at the moment so I am not holding my breath.

Thanks for any help
