05 corsa 1.3 cdti smoking

[cdo1uk]

I have just bought a lovley corsa 1.3 cdti, im amazed at the power and smooth driving from this little car.

I was driving it home last night and my girlfriend was behind me and i noticed the car was blowing dark smoke (not blue) when the turbo came on boost. no smoke on normal running, only when on boost. i also noticed the fuel gauge has dropped a bit more than it should... im hoping its not the turbo, ive heard it could be injector seals.... one person has told me just to put an injector cleaner through it, not sure that will help... It really drives well, no noises or rattles etc

any ideas?

thanks

Buy a can of BG44K, I used it a lot when running an MOT centre, if the car has no running problems its probably just a build up of crap!

If the turbo was knackered you would have noticed the smoke - it would literally be like a curtain of black following you.

thanks i have put a cleaner through it and changed the very dirty air filter today and took it for a long hot run... its still smoking but no where near as much...

Sounds like something is wrong then, they only make 69bhp and 0-60 in 13.5 seconds! Has someone had it remapped or fitted a tuning box to it?

Cleaning out an EGR valve might help too if you can find it.

i thought it may have a remap but how will i know? how can i check?

If it's a tuning box then if you remove the plastic engine cover you will see where the tuning box loom is connected between the pressure sensor on the left hand side of the fuel rail and the original plug that connected to the sensor.

nope, mine has no box pluged in, just a straight forward loom. i really want help with this, i called vauxhall today to see if the cant tell me what map its got and if it could have the standard map put on it incase, and i was told i need to speek to the body shop as its them who deal with mapping... hmmmm...
