astra 1.7td 1995 running problem - marty
hi all
my astra 1.7td vauxhall engine seams to be a little bit jerky when driven at low revs in traffic you can feel it wanting to hold back but when you put your foot down and go faster it smooths out this is my first diesel so i do not know much about them i have had a similer problem before on a petrol engine and it was the airflow sensor is there something like that on a diesel.any help would be welcome as im going on holiday soon and i dont want to drive it like this.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
