Hi guys,
A year or so ago I had a 1.7 CDTI J which occasionally at low speeds you'd hear a fluttery noise when you lifted of, I never had the cad long so didn't worry. It was a 73k car.
I now have a car with the same engine (125bhp) and its doing it all the time, I can drive along at 60 & if you listen carefully and take your foot off the accelerator it will flutter. I'm now panicking the turbo is on its way out (112k) - anyone else get this noise? I'm wondering whether to chop it in before it's too late.
Help?
The wife's pug had started doing it 180k got the mechanic to check it out and he said nothing to worry about.
The 1.7 cdti does seem to make strange noises lots of complaints about that one
A Peugeot at 180k!? That's a rarity in itself

Is this the turkey noise that plagues the 1.7's? I've had mine done under warranty 2yrs ago but it's come back now

Think it must be, after reading it looks like it's the fuel filter.. Will change it tomorrow and see.
Think they changed fuel filter and fuel pipes. I was given the worksheet on here when I posted about it, I'll try and find it

Think it will be in common problems section
Cheers, is there a charge for Vauxhall to do this it is it covered as its a common problem?
Outside warranty I think so. They've said its not harming any components it's just air going through the filter

OK thanks, I've just been and collected a new filter so will fit it tonight and see if it makes a difference! Cheers
Just listened to the vids, same noise as mine.
Strange as it sounds just like turbo flutter!
Strange it is, thing is its louder outside so quiet embarrassing lol. I made the vids because Sod's law the car wouldn't do it when I took it in thankfully the guy there knew about it. Let me know if just changing the filter works

Sorry for the delay I've been working a lot and only finished at 4 today. Decided to change the filter as soon as I got home... Easiest thing ever!
Jack rear drivers side up slightly (I didn't even have to lift it so the rear wheel lifted, just took the suspension up.
36mm socket/adjustable spanner to undo the filter whilst having a tray or something to catch the diesel in
Spin the filter/bottom off, let the diesel drain for a few seconds
Swap the filter over, change the blue seal on the filter housing
Screw the bottom back on, nip it tight with the socket/spanner
Done!
Took me 15 mins all in, the car will start straight away and run for ~20 secs as there's fuel in the pipes/injectors but it will then stop and won't start as the filter housing has no fuel. Turn the ignition on and leave it for the pump to prime.. Do this 6-8 times. Then turn it over & it will eventually start.
Just took it up the road & no flutter noise! Il give it a good run tomorrow to be sure but it seems to have fixed it.
Guess il just get used to replacing the fuel filter every 5 months/9000 miles!
It's wrong though lol. You don't need to touch the sensor, battery or fuel pipes.. It's just creating unnecessary work.
I had seen the how to but decided against doing the parts that are completely unnecessary
Ah ok you can add your way to the how-to keeps it one place for others.
