Our Corsa sounds like a tractor...

Hi.I have a 2000 Opel corsa 1.6 gsi.we reasently replaced the top gasket.The head was shaved both sides an can box was also shaved.We replaced the waterpump,tensioner and timing belt....but now....its sounds like a tractor and we have no idee what the problem can be??

Our answer:

Hi Melanie,

Your first port of call should be the garage that did the work. It's very difficult to diagnose a car's noise remotely, but perhaps the exhaust was not reattached to its manifold properly after the work, or it was damaged in the process.
