@@bobgriffiths you’re spot on. It was driving me mad trying to figure out what it was 😂

I have the same problem it started a while ago with just a little sound now and again but has got worse and worse and is now most of the time, blip the throttle pedal and it stops it briefly sometimes. I am going to try a small inline fuel filter to act as the vacuum reservoir. Now had the inline fuel filter in the bottom pipe on the solenoid valve fitted for a couple of days happy to report that the problem has ceased no other issues have occurred. The inline fuel filter was bought off ebay 2 for £2.99 with free postage. Many thanks to unibatbob for posting the video with the cure for the problem.

I had this problem twice,I've changed the solenoid valve at the Vauxhall garage two times in 7 months...now I saw your video with an easy and cheapest mode to fix it :) !! Thanks mate !! 👍

Hi I have the noise sometimes when I close the bonnet. I have this vibration through the car (not the steering wheel) which varies in strength and no 2 times are the same. It can best be described as if one of my tyres has a big flat spot. Do you think it could be this causing the issue?

abiyhmor for me it was more noticeable in traffic when accelerating and then stopping on idle. It was a bit random. Sometimes it would do it for the whole journey and other times for small parts of it. My main dealer quoted £££’s for an alternator so this was worth trying for me for the reduced amount of money. It is a GM fix too so it’s known about by Vauxhall and GM. Hope you get it sorted soon.

I think I've seen it referred to as the turbo valve solenoid somewhere, it just starts flapping, unable to open fully or close fully so it flaps between the two states.

If you're not sure always take it to a garage or a trained mechanic, I only found this trick after googling the symptoms. Thanks for dropping by.

I don't know the reason behind it but I think that the valve starts fluttering and the reservoir just prevents it getting into a cycle like it does. This is a known issue and Vauxhall / GM have a tech note that details this exact fix for the problem. I don't think it's indicative of an issue with the valve being faulty but perhaps it's just on the edge of the pressure required to pull the valve closed or open. It works a treat on mine, a colleague at my work has replicated the fix for his and googling the issue also shows others who have done this very same thing. It's entirely up to you how you go about resolving your own issues, my video is on here only to show other people what I have done.
