Sorting Common Insignia Faults

[Kervaig]

But apart from that it's okay?

[jmagee]

Yes but good luck with it. They're useless and will pass the blame wherever possible

[jmagee]

You'll need to get it on a code reader. Could be DPF or many other things such as holes in pipes. Odd that you've no warning lights though

I have an auto Elite160 and just noticed that if I'm in traffic and knock it into neutral, I can go into D without putting my foot on the brake. I have had lots of autos, but could never do that before as I assume it is a safety thing so you can't accidentally knock it into go by mistake.

All you auto owners, can you do this? Is this common to Siggys, or have I a small prob?

Hi Dave,



Must admit, every auto I've driven has done this, including my Sig!



HTH...

I know nothing about a special tool

Hullo, the open end of a used party popper used to work on another car I had to remove the plastic nut covers.



Haven't tried it on the insignia, but might be worth measuring to see if it does.

Cant seem to get service vehicle soon warning to stop coming on every time I start it I have reset oil to 100 percent on the stalk,, any ideas ? Cheers



If it comes on when you switch the ignition on, not necessarily starting the engine, my money would be on glow plugs. You can check each one with a multimeter.

It is a relatively common issue. Earlier cars had a recall on it but later cars had a redesigned part although problems are still reported.

Hi I have 2010 cdti se ecoflex 160. I'm getting a intermittent problem with selecting 1st or 2nd gear. Does anyone have any idea what it might be.



The ecoflex gear boxes can be a bit iffy when selecting first & 2nd, especially when the engine is cold. Mine does this but it does ease after changing gears a couple of times.

[del19_82]

Mine can go for weeks without doing it. Sometimes have to do the same but it's sporadic at best

Lower front grill, passenger side.

No, not as far as I know. The switch only costs about ?7.
