2007 1.2 Engine cutting out - again! - Galad
SWMBO's Corsa (1.2 petrol) was repaired under warranty 2 weeks ago for cutting out and the lamba sensor replaced. The engine management light came on. Yesterday it started cutting out again and today it stopped 10 times in the commute to work (city traffic). The engine has warmed up when this starts and it cuts out when decelerating but this time there's no engine management light. It will have to go back to dealers (for its fourth visit) but anyone any suggestions as to what the fault could be? MAF sensor?

This car is becoming a lemon - she's had it from new but it's appalling the amount of time it's been back to the dealer. I do not recommend Corsas.

Cheers
