Can anybody tell me where to locate the turbo hose on a corsa? It has been recently into a garage with problems starting, they diagnosed that that was the problem and fixed it. I am now having the same problem with the car in that it won't fire up

i would also like to know where the hose is. my car has trouble starting and also when accelerating hard i get a high pitch noise. Further research has suggested a leaking turbo hose. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

had this on my 55 plate combo cdti,hard to start when temperature was around 0c or lower.
was like a heater plug or 2 were gone
vauxhall said it was the starter so changed it,
vauxhall have a modified starter which turns the engine over faster to get it past the reasonance band of the dual mass flywheel they say,although changing starter will cure problem for while,its really hiding the fact that its your dualmass flywheel thats gone which starts affecting clutch pedal,starting,rattling when ticking over etc etc and is gonna cost a few hundred quid to sort cos you have to replace clutch as well.
just a suggestion...thats what mines got and now the warrantys out

Try the hose coming from the air filter going into the engine. Its just behind the radiator. The clip may have simply come loose. You'll need a 7mm socket to tighten it. Mine had the same problem. Let me know how you get on. Cheers

Hi

Had the car three weeks. Worked fine for the first couple of weeks, then just won't start. Is trying its best to start up, fires for maybe a second or so and then just dies again. Had it into the garage, first thought it may have been air mass meter, but turned out (they said) it was the turbo hose which hadn't been fitted correctly, fixed that, drove away from garage and it was fine. Tried starting it again the day after, still same problem
