'v' diesel corsa, engine restricted??

Oct 15, 2004 4 Replies

My 'V' 1.7 diesel Corsa (60k) lacks power and gets 30-35mpg urban, 40-45 motorway. It's an ex fleet car so I'm wondering if some form of engine restriction could be the cause.. I've checked the entire fuel line for inline devices with no luck, can anyone help..??



I have same car (S-plate)

I get around 550 - 600Miles per tank, whatever that equates to

(400-500 if i drive enthusistically)

For lack distinct lack of urgency?

Mine is desperatly slow, and underpowered for what it is,

I have tried all sorts, and the only thing that would make it go faster, more urgently would be a turbo and or a stick of dynamite!

Umm, yes, it's a diseasel Coarser.

It may just need a damn good thrape, or a damn good service.

Very unlikely.

Check the exhaust back box. They can block up, this reduces performance dramatically and increases fuel consumption. Dave

I'll have a look at the back box.. cheers Dave..

Thanks for all reply's.
