    Default New Veccy

    Bought another Vectra last week.

    It's a 1.9 CDTi 150 Life auto

    It's got a big lack of power and performance unless i really floor it and i've been told the EGR valve is 'sticking'

    It's getting replaced on Tuesday but i'm wondering if this is the cause of the poor performance, jerky gear changes and oddly a smell which a couple of people have said smells like roast chicken crisps wheni really floor it

    Welcome back Tam.
