They don't rattle if you do the mileage. Mine used to rattle when I first got it during lockdown 1 4000 mls a year but back to 15000 mls a year now not heard it since.

​@byronwilson6036 Really from what I've seen its a very common fault on the 1.6 cdti in all vauxhalls timing chain rattle even at quite low mileages having to replace chains

Pity because newer Vauxhalls are lovely, but people treat them like trash and with some of their more questionable engineering decisions nowadays they will mostly be knackered after about 8-9 years

​@hamstirrer6882 If you thought the gm engines was bad they are made even worse with the 1.2 peugeot engine with the stupid wetbelt many failures at even as low as 30 40k it's such a dumb design and idk why they don't change to chain already and just charge a bit extra if it's to save cost

Insignia is probably a belt rather than a chain

yeah later insignias got the same B16DT 1.6 diesel option thats fitted to mokka ,astra ,zafira which has a chain ,the 2.0cdti's have belt

If it's constant rattle either your chain has stretched or oil isnt getting to the tensioner to tighten it... Either way get it checked out asap !

Might be better to get a fail, so you can then correct it and do the advisories at the same time to get a clean MOT for resale 👍

As far as i'm aware there isn't an interval for them, supposed to last life time of vehicle.... just listen out for any rattles, all you can do really!

@@SeriousAboutSalvage Thank you. That's great to know. Happy New Year! 👍

Autodata 👍

How much km ?

I didn't lock anything up, not sure I even put cans to tdc , if have to watch it back and look but pritty sure just held tension on chain when removing tensioner.

@@SeriousAboutSalvagebrilliant thanks bud. 👍 great work btw.

Hi , yes the car went. I will update on a video some time soon 👍

Ive had that issue in the past copper grease swelled the O ring on the slider pin....I only use ceramic grease on brake jobs now.

Yeah, Ceratec or similar on the sliders

@@paddrivers tip for anyone with swelled o rings. If you cut them in half (length wise - so it still a circle) it will give you that breathing room so that it works as it should before the swell.

I use red rubber grease on mine

weird - ive used copper slip on brakes for years and usually keep my cars for decades -never had an issue using it

great post ,I have a nissan qhaskai and i,ve just had a ecu fitted and now my stop start does,nt work

@@scotspie501douglas7 check your glow plugs, sometimes when the glow plug/s fail the stop start won't work. But I wouldn't drive too long with faulty glow plugs no matter what anyone says, the car won't regen if these ain't working and then this causes further probs. But also check the new ECU.

@@davidhenderson7433 I know nothing about cars only the odd bits I get off guys like you , and what I get I share with others

Nah just shite Vauxhall engines

Hi mate, how old is your Insignia? Mine is a 2018, 48k, and sometimes has the start up rattle. Funnily enough for six months the noise went away!! At worst last summer on a handful of occasions did I hear the rattle when going along. I've also been told by two garages it could be the chain, main dealer repair only, 13 hour job!!

@@grahamroe8299 yes mine comes and goes too on start up but I've never heard it whilst driving luckily. I have been told if it does whilst driving then yes unfortunately the lot needs doing as its stretched but on a 2018 model with such low milage, that's insane. Mines a 2016 1.6 cdti Sri nav on 34k. It's all to do with the oil pressure not creating tension on the chain due to a poor designed tensioner that needs a gasket putting behind it. I'm trying to find a garage to do it but they all want to replace the lot which surely isn't necessary and as you say it's a 13 hour engine out job, imagine the bill!!!

If you haven't sorted this by now, then check out Vauxworks in Tonbridge

​@@grahamroe8299how much did they charge for the job please Graham?

Think it was about £700 mate

Unfortunately I had to break out for spares mate, couldn't get any afl's for it at the time.

yet most of us have done so at some point. Or propped the caliper on top of the hub, to then see it fall off as you go get another spanner from the box.

no vx refused to admit any issues and continued same design

What does he need, some sort of tripod to put his camera on so he can have hands free 🤔

I haven't deleted your message mate, I presume if there was a link in it it has either been flagged as spam by KZfaq or they deleted it

@@SeriousAboutSalvage that'll probably be it then. Them damn interfering auto botts.

ive used copper slip for decades on cars ive kept for decades and never had an issue-il continue to use it as it works for me 👍

@@leemclaughlin3927 same lee

I think it was about 4 to 5 hours mate if I remember correctly

Cheers ! Did you turn the engine to pin it up if so how did you turn it ? Thanks

@@johncleary6918 I didn't mate, just left it as it sat

Looking through a few video would it not be possible to do the job without removing the rocker cove just loosing the bolts to the right of it 🤔

@@johncleary6918 tbh bud, it was that long ago I don't properly remember now 😁only way to tell is yet it

😂

precision lol

Unfortunately one of the three chain guides has broken up and the chain is running on backing plate. This will eat away the steel and eventually break up. You need the chain and guides renewed asap

To change the oil sump is easy enough if you have the correct block as Vauxhall revised access to the sump bolts, otherwise you have to drill a section to get the sump off otherwise it's a gear ox drop. This oil pick o ring is very very common. Anyone having Ng a low oil pressure issue needs to sort it asap, or engine WILL fail 100%

this isn't the 2.0cdti this is the 1.6 diesel, totally different unit and doesnt suffer with the oil seal pick up seal issue 👍

@@leemclaughlin3927 I wouldn't count on it. Maybe a slightly different engine but I have seen the same issue. After all it's Vauxhall were speaking about here. This should not be happening on cars nowadays absolute joke. Vauxhall are notorious for these issues. All diesels suffer, dpf failure prematurely, egr cooler leaks, crank gear failure, prem water pump failure, turbo intercooler pipe failure, dual mass flywheel failure, squeaking pedals, badges fall off, rear boot release fails, rear springs snap and shox, abs sensors failure, also have issues with chewing batteries loads more tbs and this is on low mile cars. Don't trust Vauxhall.

@@davidhenderson7433 its a bolted on pick up pipe like the vectras had

@@leemclaughlin3927 yup, as much as I like Vauxhall I hate them even more

Looking at the reg it's a Scottish car so say no more. Lived in salt all its life most probably

55515025 is part no for the gasket

@@leemclaughlin3927 I have the 1.6 cdti zafira tourer, do you think that the gasket will fit?

@@ilsonemo yep same B16DT engine

how about the egr and copper gasket part no. phil? more power to your channel enjoying your channel. thanks

Haha, I don't pretend to be a mechanic so all is good 😄

it is a gasket-if you go to Vauxhall/buy one online it states on the label 'Gasket' the part no is 55515025 👍
