MY Mate has a Y Reg Corsa C Sxi.

When he revs it and the revs drop down and then revs it again there is a puff of black smoke.

IS this a problem? If so what is it?

Whether it's fuel or oil there's going to be a poisoned catalyst soon if it's not ruined already. A Y plate Corsa C will be around the 3yr old mark and its first MOT. Did it have the 3yr warranty ? Let's hope so as a new cat plus the work to rectify the underlying cause of the problem likely means a big bill.
