• Answer:

  Timing a Corsa engine is a pretty accurate operation,it involves locking the crank with a pin,locking the cam and a special ;locking tool for the variable cam sprocket.in the normal run I'd say it was well nigh impossible to get the timing wrong,doubly so for a factory trained dealer. What is possible to do is get the air gap wrong when fitting a new cam phase sensor,not to mention that pattern parts don't alway do what's on the box,was it genuine Vaux parts? Time for the job is around 4.5-5 hours,time to check the actual timing would be around an hour.. No offense to your mechanic but I 'd be going back to the dealer,they ought to have a chance.If nothing else better software.Me?I'd be interested in what the live data says about expected and actual air flow in the AFM.
