Hi all !
I'm from the South west, Plymouth.
My Second Vauxhall but my first Insignia.
Had a 2007 Zafira 1.6 petrol before (baby runs).
Bought a cdti Eco SRI VX-line sports tourer (170bhp) in Power red, yes with the common Atomic 19" rims. Has loads of paid extras like auto boot, leather interior (seats), auto window wipers, auto rear dimming mirror, auto this & that.
I was expecting the car to be faster but I know its a larger car than I've driven before, I guess I've been use to hot hatches.
Love the feel of the SRI upgrade/uprated suspension. The car doesn't lean at all !
Leather seats smelled like a rank old Jaguar, meguiars gold leather cleaner I hope can clear the smell, they looked clean but the bucket of water was black.
Back ground of the car. It's a 2015 (15 reg), 33840, FSH, two owners before me, R3 infotainment system, (1st owner & garage). Very good condition inside & out.
A couple of things that I would like to know that I've noticed & try not to go on ! I'll also add this to a sub forum as I guess some don't visit here.
1. When coasting a long at variable speeds, I can drop my foot to the floor for a boost/Accelerate hard & the power takes 1 second before any extra delivery. It's quite noticeable & my other car (10plate Hyundai i30 1.6 TDI) it's instant. Don't know if it's the ECU talking to the engine ?
If I lightly add power there's no lag & the power is added at will once the turbo hits.
It's really annoying !
I can video it but if it's normal, I'll just get use to it.
2. When resting my foot on the clutch, that's the point where you press it, it drops but it doesn't engage. You can feel the engine/gear box movement, it's like a feed back. A light vibration, nothing heavy, more a feeling ? Its the same feeling if I engage & fully press.
No clutch click like I've heard/seen on YouTube so I'm fine there.
3. Climate control sometimes loses communication with the intellilink. I get a gray banner covering the screen where it info would be. Very sporadic, works most of the time but fails when you need it most
4. Has Adblue thingy ? I've googled what it does, shame it doesn't lower the tax (£120 a year). When do you add more, every month, every service or top up every now & again ?
