  • Insignia 2L CDTI SRI ecoflex 65 plate

    Hello everyone. Im a nebie here and wanted some advice. I have had my insignia for 6 months now and warranty is due to run out in a couple of weeks. The car is great and hadnt let me down but just the other day i noticed when i startec it up first thing in the morning i got s loud rattle from the engine that kasted only a few seconds. It sounded like stones in the engine.
    I checked the oil level which was fine and i never had the noise again until the next morning ehen i got it again but not as loud. It ladted for approx 2 seconds and then not again all day. I wondered if it gad something to do with the cold weather as it was probably the coldest day since i got the car.
    The other two things are the diesel rattle on the car seems quiet loud and i wondered if this was normal also i find the cars second gear to be very sluggish.
    Is this just how the car id or is there something wrong?
    Sny help or ideas of what it maybe would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Welcome

    The rattle you get on start up, could be the water pump starting to fail. Maybe it’s time to get the cam belt, pump and tensioners replaced.
    How many miles on the clock?...

        Hi thanks for your suggestion.
        The miles on the clock are 26’000 so i would of thought the water pump and cam belt would be fine. Its going in for a service in the morning so hopefully they can sort it
