hi all.

I've noticed the same on the 2.0cdti.
What I have noticed is it seems to do it when the battery is low.

I had the same problem on my astra j 2011, 1.7CDTI except for the smell. Anyway, it was failed
FUEL PUMP PRESSURE REGULATOR SUCTION CONTROL VALVE, replaced damn thing and now idling normaly.
