As some of you know there is problems with the 1.7 engine. I am having no end of problems and at the min do not have my car as it was taken off the road by vauxhall on safety grounds.
The fault is now recognised by vauxhall so if anyone with a 1.7cdti is having problems particularly lack of power/ random stalling/ sudden power loss, Then there is an apparent fix coming.
For TIS release 07.5 there will be NEW software available this will supposedly fix the complete lack of low down power (not seen as a problem by vaux senior techs until he nearly wrote my car off pulling away from a junction) and it will supposedly fix the pi55 poor fuel economy.
There is also 2 specific trouble codes (i will get these when i get home)
So the advice i got from vaux HQ was to drive the car until mid july/august when the software would be realised. I fought with them until they sent an engineer over to drive the car. It was then decided the car was unsafe and taken off the road.
Now i am waiting on the new software to be sent to the garage on wed so we will see if it fixes the issues. I am so annoyed its unbelievable im paying for a car i have driven for 2months out of the 5 i have owned it and my compensation - A free tank of fuel. Never mind the fact im having to drive a 1.4 design 5 dr 60 miles a day to n from work averaging 23mpg (yes i drive the hole out of it)
So vauxhall F U C K YOU!
Sorry for the rant but thought everyone should know bout the new software. Will update what i think of it next week.
