Caporegime
Well, I'm warming to my new beast, a Corsa C 1.7DTI, bought it cheap, it's an 02 plate with 147k on the clock, so far I've managed 470miles from 40litres (45litre tank iirc) and I'm liking its economy after my old e39 very much but,it seems to have a weird surge type issue, if you accelerate hard (as in just making progress rather than trying to rag the nuts off it) it feels as if I'm very slightly pulsing the throttle slightly, as in it feels as if I'm lifting off a tad and then reapplying throttle, which I'm not but that's how I'd describe it, it seems to run out of puff at around 90 (where I think it's supposed to be good for 100 or so eventually) , I'm running it on BP Ultimate (my thinking is it's probably got gunged up injectors and the tanks so small it makes little difference cost wise) it starts first turn of the key hot or cold and seems to throw out no soot / black smoke whatsoever which is a surprise....
Am I just expecting a bit too much from it? - I'm used to rather larger diesels with very progressive power delivery - it's gutless below 1500rpm but picks up very nicely until about 4K.....
Suggestions please (apart from bin it! ) it's merely a cheap thing to hack around in but I'd like it running right, assuming it isn't!
Cheers.
