Supra ST Myster Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Hi, Anyone know what may be the main problem from this noise on a vectra C ? 2.0dti engine 53 plate with 157000miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Sounds like a misfire bud. Those 2.0 DTi's suffer from injector seals. Check the oil level and consistancy. If it's above max and really thin, there's a good chance the diesel that's meant to be going into the injector is just going passed the traverse seal and into the oil.

Supra ST Myster Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 Ok will have a look at that, is there an easy way of telling? thanks.. When I changed the oil with what was recommended to me, when the car gets warmed up I get the oil pressure light flickering and sometimes on only when I come to a stop at traffics lights so when it's idling. Car still pulls ok as had to drive home, no lumpy idle or smoke coming out of exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Could be a poor oil pump then dude. Bit difficult to tell from the video to be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porky1978 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Is it anything like this? As above, hard to tell on the video you posted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
