Regardless of whether it is a ghost code or not there is clearly a fault with the car - a Corsa 1.4 diesel should use much less fuel and there has to be a problem as even a maniac driver should be unable to drag the consumption down to those figures if everything was in good order - my friend's old C8 does 44 mpg and a customer's ancient 106 diesel still returns over 60 mpg, more on long runs.
Another clue is the juddering - a car with no faults doesn't judder.
I think the Vauxhall dealer has given you easy answer number one hoping you will go away and save them spending hours they would be unable to charge for. Much of my time spent as a repairer, including in a Vauxhall dealership, has been spent driving countless miles waiting for elusive symptoms to happen - this is the level of service a customer of a dealership has a right to expect...
I suggest you try again after contacting Vauxhall customer service or try another dealer. Jumping up and down, waving your arms and shouting a lot could be justified...
Recheck the timing as possible it's 1 tooth out and this will give false reading from sensor if all is ok timing wise sensor at fault damaged, stressed wiring to sensor
