Thoughts on this 2006 Corsa?
I'm looking at a 2006 1.0l Corsa with 2220000KM on it. It's running fine but sounds a little throaty - like a diesel. Is this a lot of KM for this car?
Our answer:
Hi Peter,
Right, well we’ll address the ‘throaty’ noise first. The 1.0-litre Corsa of 2006 was powered by an early three-cylinder petrol engine, for which it’s perfectly normal for it to make the sort of noises you’re describing. As to the mileage, if it’s 222,000km, that’s not so bad – if it’s 2.22 million km, though, you might want to get onto the Guinness Book of Records!
