IVE CHECKED THE PIPES AND THEY ARE CLEAN, THATS THE ONE B19 GAV WAS ON ABOUT (build up of crap in the pipes leadining into the rocket cover).. WHAT ESLE COULD BE CAUSING TOO MUCH FUEL CONSUMPTION AND CUT OUT...

i got the creamy stuff in my oil too, tis condesation as i only use mine on a 2mile run twice a day to work and bak basically and a little further at the weekends which aint far enough atall, my engine dont even warm up properly most days. blocked pipes sounds like a good suggestion to me matey, i must say tho mines never cut out on me and ive had it for a year now

is it overheating at all?
when u checked the oil did u check to c if your radiator still has water?
if its dissapearing thats when u worry

yeah i managed to fix it with some tape lol

Nah, cant say its ever cut out on me though :boggle: I'd go with Gavs idea about a blockage to the rocker breather. might be worth trying anyway :)

Oh, and have you fixed your rear screen wash pipe yet? :lol: Was a nice water feature though ;)

does urs cut out on u 2, mine did it again 2day... ecu light came on took a few seconds to restart....

cheers m8

Everythings already been said. The mayo is due to short runs (ive got it too. Did an oil change engine flush and cleaned filler cap last saturday , but the following thursday, the mayo was back). The fuel is due again to short runs and the engines lack of power being a victim of itself. Its also nothing to do with you milage incase you were wondering. Mine seems the same as yours and its only done 12k!

Like everyones always said: 1.2's suck :lol:

My advice would be to take all pipes off and blast air through them. Give them a good clean out. Troublesome, you need to drive on longer journeys and let the engine get really hot,go and take it out on the motorway for a couple of hours. This should rid you of condensation. Same thing happened to me.

Dave

it NOT the head gasket...... It was a small amount of condesation under da oil cap!!!
I was thinking if there was a build up of crap in the pipes leadining into the rocket cover then less air will be passing through it therefore fecking up the sensor readings and so also the fuel ratio fecked up (drinking petrol).....

wat da u ppl think????

yeah i think thats head gasket. its what i always read. never experienced it myself, but i probably will soon :!:

Well here i am back to ask advice again.... i have 2 probs with car at the moment, today found a CLUE

Could probs be related

1 . drinking too much petrol http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=53853&page=1

2. cuts out on me with ecu light on http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=53460

Today me and B19 GAV were having a browse at the engine to se if we could spot any burst pipes etc, checked under the oil cap and there was MAYO! now to me that gives me indication of something to do with HEADGASKET but me no mechanic... anyone help???
