    Afternoon All, new member saying hello. I am hoping to get the low down on used Insignia's as I'm looking to buy one. I have my heart set on an 2.0 diesel (160BHP) SRI Vx-Line estate as I like the black roof lining/pillar trims and the 160BHP is perfectly punchy enough. However The ones I have found within the region of my £4000 budget are >100k mileage and aged around 2010-2012. Apart from the usual timing belt and water pump what would you recommend be done to engines of this age and mileage? Are there any common faults with these engines that I should be aware of?

    Very much appreciate any help you can give.
    Thanks
    Ed

    Hi Ed,

    I don't know much about diesels but one thing mentioned a lot on older high mileage diesel Insignias is the oil pickup seal. If that fails it will cause a costly engine failure. I'd make sure it's just been done or make it first on your to do list.

        Thanks Marko, do you know if this is quite a costly job? I'll have to factor it into my budget. Looking over the forum there is a thread on this and it seems like quite a lot of work is involved.

          Pass...Not a clue, sorry. Somebody will know. Ask in the engine section.
