Tank ventilation valve defective Symptoms Opel Corsa and engine control light is on

Loss of engine power

Unsteady engine

Shaking while idling

Stalling while idling

Jerking on acceleration

Check engine light on

Hey guys, I have a problem with my 2015 Opel Corsa gasoline engine (12,785 km). Symptoms are: Check Engine Light, loss of power, rough engine, jerking when accelerating, stalling at idle and vibrations at idle. I suspect a problem with the tank ventilation system. Have any of you had similar problems? What was your experience at the mechanic? Any tips? Thanks a lot! LG

Hey, I had similar problems with my 2018 Opel Astra. In my case, the hoses for the tank ventilation system were clogged. The symptoms were pretty similar: Check Engine Light, loss of power, rough engine, jerking when accelerating and stalling at idle. At the mechanic's they cleaned and partially replaced the hoses. It was a more serious matter, but not unexpected with these symptoms. After that it ran smoothly again. Be sure to have it checked, it could well be that this is also your problem. LG

Hey, thanks for the quick reply! Do you remember how much the whole thing cost you? And has anything else come up since then? LG

Hey, yeah, right! The whole thing cost me €175 at the time. They cleaned the hoses that were clogged and replaced some of them. Since then, my Astra has been running perfectly again and the problem with the tank ventilation system has been completely solved. If you have any further questions, please let me know! LG

Hey, thanks for the info! That's quite a lot of money, but if it really fixes the problem, it would probably be worth the effort. I'll take my Corsa to the garage this week and let them know your tip about the hoses. Hopefully they can fix it without it being too expensive. I'm curious to see if this solves the problem. I'll let you know how it goes! LG
