    hi all.

    just bought myself a '06 vectra c 1.9cdti.

    nice car.. i got it cheap because of a rough running problem, after 2 days fault code reading i came up with a code hidden deep in the ecu. obdII wouldnt touch my ecu and tech 2 wasnt enough to find it. i understand this is a common fault,

    spanner light comes on and car goes into limp home mode,
    spanner light comes on with ignition but does not go out
    no turbo effect untill 3000 rpm or higher
    no smoke but increased knocking noise.

    i found a small hole in what i belive is a vacume pipe connected to the turbo, replaced the hose and sorted!! car is like a rocket now and pulls hard to well,and cruises lovely

    is there anywhere i can put this info to help others out?

    cheers guys
