Summary of the thread
A 2015 Opel Corsa with 193,000 km is experiencing several issues: the check engine light is on, the engine runs rough, power is reduced, and it stalls and starts with difficulty, accompanied by rattling noises. These symptoms suggest a potential problem with the timing chain, possibly due to elongation or breakage. Suggested solutions include checking the engine oil level and condition, inspecting the timing chain tensioner for wear or failure, and consulting a professional mechanic for a thorough inspection.

It's important to address this issue promptly as it could be safety-related. Start by checking the engine oil level and condition, as low or dirty oil can affect the timing chain and cause rattling noises. If the oil level is fine, consider inspecting the timing chain tensioner for wear or failure. If you're not comfortable with these checks, it's best to have a professional mechanic inspect the vehicle. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
