god knows...

didn't hobbit fit an older Isuzu 1.7td into a mk4 astra a while back???

I'd imagine the later electronics will be the bigger issue

Think I read somewhere that in a nova I need to use 1.5 td inlet but not to sure why lol,
Basically im wondering if its worth doing or best selling the surplus parts I have

the n/a inlet is apparently better.

to fit the cav 1.7td, you need the front end of the engine from the 1.5td

The Y17DT is a 16v Isuzu lump - fitted to early Corsa C/Combo/Astra G

Y17DTL is the same, but lower output.

As I am finding, the EDU on the fuel pump is the biggest issue with these!!

Just bought a non running Corsa with a Y17DT in it. Previous owner spend serious amounts with a so called diesel specialist, who spent hours without success on why it doesn't start.

EDU is the issue. Sadly not the usual dry joints, but seems component failure within - so a new one is on the way!

Faulty fuel EDU is a £50 fix. My old Corsa C van died from it, sent EDU away, came back 2 days later, 4 allen bolts & 1 multi plug to refit, worked again.
