Hi,
Can anyone help. I bought a brand new Opel Corsa SXI (1.4ltr) engine in January 08. I love the car but im finding that once i go over 90 KPH the engine revs quite high. (over 30rpm). Its like i need to change gear up again but am in 5th. Is this normal. Ive gone back to the garage and an initial drive with the mechanic ended in them taking in the car with the opinion of something being wrong with it. They then got back to me and assured me (after an opel specialist drove it) that 1.4 ltr engine corsas were supposed to sound like this and they run at higher revs than the 1.2. Im furious and really want something done about it if there is something wrong. Its incredibly uncomfortable driving at any srt of speed unless ihave the CD blaring!! Its as if the engine cant cope with any kind of speed.
Can anyone help me out with a little info.I may be nieve but i thought by ordering the 1.4 rather than the 1.2 that i would have an engine with a little more to give. (just not noise) The garage dont have another 1.4 to compare it with.
Will this level of revs do any damage to my engine long term.
