    [Corsa D 2006-2014] Corsa D 1.3CDTi Sportive Van Workhorse

    As requested, a project thread for the van I have recently acquired.

    Basically just going to keep this running, will do the odd 'mod' to it but ideally want to keep most of my money for the MR2.

    Under the hood is a 1.3 CDTi producing a whopping 90bhp as it's the Sportive model and is factory remapped.



    I currently have a K&N Panel filter and Team Heko Wind Deflectors fitted and that's about it, so it's looking pretty fly right now.

    Future mods
    4.4L V8 with 8 turbos (1 for each cylinder)
    22'' rims
    roof rack and roofbox
    A good clean

      For a 1.3 it's mental quick haha. You can hear the turbo woosh and air go around the system it's great.

      Not fast, but pretty spritely for what it is. Weights nothing either as no seats etc in the back.

              My Dad bought this at 22k in 2010 and it's now on 125k and in that time it's had a new turbo and many many problems with the EGR so I told him to blank it off, problems sorted!

              Only problem is random EML so will need to get that mapped out one day.

              Have to agree the gearbox feels pretty crappy. Gear selection is quite hard and when you take it out of gear there is a fair jolt that you can feel. Maybe the clutch needs changing as it slips every now and then after changing gear when pulling hard. Still on original clutch from new

                  How frequent have the services been on it?
                  Is it a lot quicker than the C was?

                    Had its service about 4 months ago and i think it's every 30-40k iirc. Although i like to do it every 10k.

                    It's so much quicker, for a 1.3 it's very quick.

                      Every 30-40k is nuts for service intervals. That might be why the original turbo died.
                      I like to do every 10k max,

                        Yeah that's what I told my Dad.. I'm probs gunna do it soon. First turbo died because the egr clogged up and dumped a load of **** into the turbo.

                          What was it that failed on the first turbo when it died?
