Corsa d 1.3 cdti 95 hp - Stuttering and hesitation under acceleration. - Chris79
Good day all,

For the past year my corsa has hesitated under acceleration from roughly 1500-1800 rpm. There ways always a slight shudder before the turbo cut in and it started to pull. Reading the relevant forums this seemed to be a common issue and various cures were proposed normally revolving around the egr valve.

I noticed of recent that there seemed to be more diesel noise than there used to be. My local garage suggested I should change the fuel filter to start with. This was done and it has transformed the car. The hesitation has gone and it drives much better.

Whether this works for everyone I don't know but hopefully any other corsa users suffering from this find this useful.
