Hey, thanks for your contribution! My Combo already has 97325 km on the clock and the last service was recently. I can't remember exactly which parts were changed. I've never had any problems with the exhaust system so far. I think it could really be the exhaust temperature sensor. I'll have it read out and go to a mechanic if necessary. Thanks for the tip!

Hey, you're welcome! Given the mileage, it could really be that a few parts of the exhaust system are giving up the ghost. A defective exhaust gas temperature sensor could indeed be causing the problem. But I don't want to worry you, it could be something completely different. In any case, the readout will give you more clarity. If you're lucky, it might just be a minor issue. It was the same with my Corsa. At first I thought it was major damage, but it turned out that only a few parts needed replacing. In the end, everything went smoothly and I haven't had any more problems like this. So cheer up, let the garage have a look and then report back what they find. Maybe someone else can benefit from your experience. Good luck!

Hello, I have a similar model, a 2000 Opel Corsa, and had an almost identical problem. I'm not a car expert, but I do have a bit of experience. I also had the problem that my exhaust system was leaking badly. After an inspection, my trusted garage found that it was necessary to replace parts of the exhaust system, which cost me 265 euros. The mechanic said that this is a fairly common problem at this age. Can you provide more detailed information about your vehicle, such as mileage, service history, etc.? This could help to get a more accurate overview of your problem.
