  1. Furthermore, I have just examined the oil level on the malfunctioning engine, and it is excessively elevated. The owner reported that while driving, a low coolant level warning appeared on the dashboard and a significant amount of white smoke was emanating from the rear of the vehicle. I thought that the head gasket failed, leading to overheating and subsequent engine seizure. Upon closer inspection, I have seen that the oil cooler located at the rear of the new engine seems to be water cooled. I am curious to know whether these oil coolers are prone to failure. I am curious whether the sump has been filled with coolant. However, I am unable to comprehend how this would explain the presence of white smoke, unless it has perhaps passed through the piston rings.
  2. Thank you for providing clarification. I spent a significant amount of time yesterday to doing online research in order to determine whether or not the hp pump required code. Are there any more engine components that need replacement from the original, or else will coding be necessary? Both engines have the same model, which is a20dth. I have recently examined the engine codes.
  3. Apologies for the oversight. The vehicle in question is a 2011 Insignia CDTI. The engine that has been acquired is from a 2010 insignia. My question is basically... Which components need coding if I do not use the original portion from the malfunctioning engine? What is the most effective method for extracting the engine from the top (as opposed to removing it from the bottom) while doing the procedure outdoors? Any information, regardless of its kind, is highly valued. Thus far, I have disconnected the wiring loom and set it aside, with the exception of the battery/charging loom which still has to be disconnected. Additionally, I have removed all induction pipe work, the battery, and the tray. Essentially, the upper side is completely separated.
  4. Greetings, everyone. The father of my spouse prepared his insignia to such an extent that it became completely inoperable. He has acquired an engine, which has a guarantee of three months. Despite my efforts to do internet research, there is a dearth of information available on insignia engine replacement. I have learned that the injectors need coding unless I transfer them from the original engine. Are there any other components that require coding? For example, are you referring to the high-pressure gasoline pump? If just the injectors need coding, I will transfer them from the original engine. However, if the fuel pump requires coding... I will maintain the current state and proceed with coding after all components are reassembled. Furthermore, I am carrying out this task outside, since circumstances need me to do so, although regrettably. Is it more advantageous to keep the gearbox and shafts intact when removing the engine from the top? Alternatively, might the shafts be detached and the engine, together with the transmission, be lifted out as a single unit? Any relevant information would be highly appreciated.
  5. The price for 40mm lowering springs still seems to be quite expensive.
  6. Thank you both sincerely for dedicating your time to write. Your input is very appreciated and I will ensure to examine the resources you mentioned. Thank you.
  7. Greetings, everybody! Apologies for the lengthy message filled with inquiries, but I am quite enthusiastic about acquiring a previously used 2017 Insignia this weekend. Specifically, it is the upgraded diesel Vx Nav 2.0 170bhp model. The car's odometer displays a mileage of 75,000 kilometres. The appearance of the vehicle is stunning and it has been well maintained both within and outside. Additionally, it comes with a complete record of regular servicing performed annually. I have extensively searched the site to determine the necessary precautions to take while acquiring it, and I have collected some information from the aforementioned post. However, apart from the inquiries made by johnd, are there any further aspects that I should consider examining? I have seen several discussions pertaining to the OPUS. Does it have any impact on this particular model? Lastly, but not least, I was indecisive about the automobile due to its inclusion of 20" alloys... Although the wheels and the vehicle they are on seem quite impressive, I will be extremely anxious about accidentally striking the curb and damaging them. Is it advisable for me to make the decision to pay an additional £600 in order to get a set of four tyres with the specifications of 255/35/20? (If you want to mount them, do you have any recommendations for a certain brand or model?) Thank you for any guidance or recommendations!
