2015 Vauxhall Corsa knocking noise

Car: Vauxhall Corsa
Year: 2015
Variant: Limited Edition 1.2

Categories: Steering, Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tyres

I brought the car from brand new and at first didn't notice any noises. After a while I noticed a Knocking noise coming from the front passenger side. So after a couple of phone calls to the garage I purchased it from I booked in an investigation. After spending approximately 40 hours over 3 days sitting in a waiting room they said they have regressed the drive shafts and it should be fine and it was until a couple miles down the road it started again but not as frequently so I booked it in again and tried to blame it on my driving style. Then the next day on a solenoid. But I wasn't fooled so went to complain they sent me to a sister garage with "better" equipment and after a further 2 hours they revealed it was the ABS Modulator Pump. Which I have no clue what it is or does but they have assured me that it's nothing to worry about and that they're going to send the information to vauxhall and get their opinion it's now been 3 weeks and apparently still waiting for a reply?! I'm not convinced so anyone had similar experiences??
Thanks in advance. 😬

You spent 13hrs a day for three days sitting in a waiting room !!!! Unheard of and I could think of better things to do . Must have been a very, very tolerant garage to allow that .As the car is new and Vauxhall are aware of the complaint you will have to allow them to investigate and rectify .If not happy , contact VX customer services . " driving style " may be relevant as I've had it before where drivers of small cars think it's a Ferrari / Porsche etc. the've got , not a puddle
jumper and should be driven appropriately

I bought my car from new and after just a few days I notice the exact same problem . I have had it 3 months now and am still having the same problem ! I have taken the car back 3 times now just to be told it's quite normal . I am struggling to except this is normal having spent thousands of pounds on a brand new car !!!!!

My dad has bought a new corsa and after about a week has got the same problem. He has had it at the garage once and they say it is normal but this can't be correct. Who wants to drive a car that makes a knocking sound? His last car was the same make/model and it didn't knock. Has anyone got to the bottom of this problem? I'd appreciate any advice so I have something more definite to say to the garage.

Thanks

My father has just purchased a 2014 Corsa which has the same issue...when you move away from parked there is a short knocking noise (about 4 or 5 times) then it stops.
Sounds very much like the ABS modulator as mentioned above...would be very interested in the outcome. Meantime will be challenging Vauxhall for a fix.

Did this issue ever get sorted? My partner is having the same issue with her brand new corsa. The garage keeps on saying its not anything to be worried about however my two other friends have the same car yet they make no noise at all. 1 mechanic from Vauxhall told us this was a common fault on VXR models only however it is nothing to worry about. However if it is nothing to worry about why don't they just get the issue sorted. Thanks in adavance
