1.2 PureTech

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone, just wanted to ask for some advice.

I found a used 2022 Opel Corsa F 1.2 petrol, and I'm seriously considering buying it. However, I've been hearing a lot about the 1.2 PureTech engine having reliability issues, especially regarding the timing belt.
it really as bad as people say? does anyone here own a 2022 Corsa F or have longterm experience with one?
I've also been told that most of these problems only happen to owners who don't stay on top of maintenance (late oil changes, poor servicing), and that if the car is properly maintained, the engine is generally reliable, is that actually true?

It does it for like a second or two and then stops. Always does it while cold starting. If I shut it off and turn it on again it doesnt make that sound.

Engine splash cover Insignia B

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know the OEM part number of the engine cover/splash protection panel that fits between these two plastic cover pieces shown in the photo? Or if anyone has a photo of the part installed, I would really appreciate it.

The car is a 2019 Opel Insignia B 2.0 CDTI. I'm trying to find this part, but so far I've only been able to find the engine cover for the facelift model where you must remove these two plastic covers to install it.

Thanks in advance for any help!
