Corsa Stalling After Fuel Filter Change
Summary of the thread
After changing the fuel filter on a 2002 diesel Vauxhall Corsa, issues such as stalling, power reduction, and the check engine light appeared. These problems were linked to a defective fuel pressure regulator, likely affected during the filter change. The solution involved having a mechanic replace the faulty regulator, which resolved the stalling and power issues.

What do you mean by 'dodgy fuel regulator'? Did you have stalling or power loss? How did you fix it? I'm trying to figure out if I can fix it myself or if I need a mechanic.

Yep, stalling and power loss. I'd get it checked at a workshop. Could be a simple fix, but best not to risk it.

I took it to a mechanic. It was a defective fuel pressure regulator, probably from the fuel filter change. They reset the error and replaced the regulator for 45€. It's running smoothly now. Thanks for the help!

I had a similar experience with my Corsa after a fuel filter change. Check your fuel rail pressure. Could be a dodgy fuel regulator.
