Not been on this forum in ages but figured it’s a good place to start for advice. My Astra H 1.9 CDTI is approaching 90,000 miles and recently it’s been smoking heavily when under acceleration, usually when the revs drop low pulling away from a junction. The car was serviced and MOT’d in the last 4 months and has had a new EGR valve at the same time. Any ideas on what may be causing the smoking and any cheapish fixes? If it’s a major job I will likely get rid and replace but thought I’d ask on here before I go down the replacement car route.

Should I have done the others - are they quick fixes that might stop the thick black smoke under acceleration?

Well I replaced the swirl bar at the same time as the old one was knackered

Wife has come home today and said the car is feeling a bit lacklustre with lots of smoke - may have to go to a garage soon. I have done the pedal test and got ECN 70458 and 38008 - any idea if these might be related?

I am considering just replacing the turbo and mani, the clutch and the gearbox as all are old. Any idea how much a new gearbox is. I have had it reconditioned once so I'm guessing I cannot do it again?

Turbo is fine apparently. So it has been diagnosed as the Fuel Pressure Sensor is malfunctioning. The garage removed the DTUK box which was knackered but the sensor needs replacing. The issue is that no one seems to know the part that is required and VX are not responding to questions. Does anyone know the part number for the Fuel Pressure Sensor on a 59 plate H 1.9 CDTI SRI

Think it’s just the first one although that says it doesn’t fit the 150bhp model
