Hi everyone,
After looking at common problems for the Insignia and what to look out for and what to get put right to keep the car going and all happy I have read lots of people having the low oil pressure warning and mixed story's of cars completely failing and some getting the seal replaced and all has been fantastic for them.
I wasn't worried thinking that my recently purchased higher mileage Facelift Insignia (138k) was fully serviced and looked after by previous company.
Until Tuesday morning when I went to go to work after leaving the car on the drive 4 and 1/2 days and the message came up, after S******g myself I did what it said and turned the car off.
Upon restarting the car the message had not come back on and I have ran it fine with no messages since (its only Wednesday so just keeping fingers crossed).
Now I have only seen the message once could that be because it has been stood for 4 and 1/2 days and is because it has let the oil settle to the bottom and needed to recirculate first or do I rush to the garage to get this part replaced?
I would have thought if the seal was bad I would be getting messages all the time not just once.
Can anyone educate me more about this so I can make a decision, also have people seen the other post regarding the additional part on ebay that claims that you will never need to change the seal ever again by adding it with the seal?
Is this worth doing or not?
Any advice is appreciated as if this is a problem Id like to get it sorted ASAP as I love this Insignia I have, its my second one and I decided to go for the Elite so I had all the nice bits, I've not smiled about a car since I got rid of the last one which I regret soon after I did.
Thank you all again for you time and help.
