Hey guys,
Initially posted in the new members board but was advised to post it here instead.
2 days ago I bought a 2009 2.0 CDTi Insignia auto, remapped to 185 hp/430NM. The car has couple of issues and for some I'm not sure if they are normal.
It's an Auto one and it's my second experience with auto gearbox, so I'm not sure if the behavior of the gearbox is OK. What I mean is the following:
- When R or D is engaged, it's not a "bang" what's happening but rather I can feel that the gear is engaging and the car tries to move forward/backward respectively.
- When R is selected - I feel the engaging right away, but when D is selected - it's engaging in a second or so. Is this normal?
- When I first drove the car, when slowing down a couple of times the box "kicked" from 3-2 and 2-1, which is not happening now. I'm not sure if it was a box issue or just me getting used to the break (still doing it).
When the car is not moving (i.e. waiting for a traffic light), I noticed that the RPM needle is moving up and down with like ~50 RPM while I cannot notice any change in the engine sound etc. Is this normal?
I'm not sure if the remap is related, because as per the previous owner's words, the DPF has been removed and I've been told that the EGR could have been switched off too.
How accurate is the board computer in regards to the fuel consumption? I read all over the internet that the car should consume about 8-9 to 10 liters of diesel in urban driving. So far I'm getting on the OBC 11.5-12 which seems like a LOT to me?
Can the DPF/EGR thing be related to it?
I've been monitoring the consumption at idle and when the car is cold, its near 1.5-1.6 l/h and when it's at operating temperature, it's about 0.9-1 l/h. Does that sould OK? Both are when the auto is on Drive. If on park and operating temp - it's between 0.7 and 0.9 l/h.
Any input will be highly appreciated, guys.
Cheers!
