  • Cold start problems

    Hi
    I have a 2012 insignia
    Cdti Sri 4x4
    If the temperature drops below 0 it won’t start until the temperature warms
    Rac have been out lots, even put it in the garage too. Nothing shows on the computer
    Fantastic car but frustrating during the winter

          Hi Jimmy, welcome to the forum but dissapointing you've not had the courtesy to introduce yourself

          This may help with your problem as you haven't really given a lot of information
          1. Battery Capacity Diminished Far and away the number one reason that your Insignia won't start in the cold is the battery. A battery has two different ratings, cranking amps and cold cranking amps. Cold cranking amps are the batteries ability to start turn the engine over when it is cold. Battery capacity diminishes with

              Hello jimmyXX44 .as said above. Go to reception area and give us a big yooooooohoooooooo
              Tell us about yourself and your car
              And if you feel brave about yourself
              Me ?
              I like looking up at the moon , to see if I can spot the clangers, the soup dragon , and the iron chicken.
              But really can't go on much without fault codes, so maybe the garages diagnostic equipment could be analogue.
