I had the service vehicle soon message pinging up for a few weeks. Even though the car ran perfectly I booked it in for a diagnostic check at vauxhall. I expected it to be a glow plug issue as this seems a common fault but it turned out to be a boost sensor or switch on the turbo. It appears the sensor is built in to the turbo at manufacture and cannot be replaced so I have a new turbo on order. Fortunately it is covered by the warranty I got as part of the deal when I bought the car so I'm not complaining. Another bonus is that my insignia is approaching 60,000 miles so was probably due a turbo anyway. Not my usual luck I can assure you.

as far as i know there's no switches or sensors on the turbo
the boost is measured at the manifold, and the variable vanes is controlled by the boost solenoid valve at the front
either way let warranty fix it
