    How long does it blow smoke out,after a couple of weeks of getting my siggy it started to run rough and blow abit of smoke out so i turned engine off and straight back on and it would run great again for a day or two but then would run rough again and smoke,after reading on this site i learned the car was trying to do a regen so when it happens now i rev it at 2000 rpm for around 5 to 10 mins until it clears and now no probs,not sure about temp gauge as mine is allways on zero.

    No i dont think they do flash anymore,i heard that when they first came out people where taking their motors back to the dealers thinking something was wrong when the glowplug light flashed so vauxhall did away with it,the dpf is supposed to stop smoke i only see smoke on mine when its doing a regen,as yours still got the dpf fitted
