Good reason to buy a mudflaps for Insignia

Probably warranty will not cover this due to pure mechanical damage - sand dust from the wheels damaged the surface. The cost for repair is rather low but this is not what could be expected. 65000 km , MY2009.

No, the door sill is not plastic I think. That's why I'm asking, because the ends of that part are painted and folded metal which is next to the wheels... as far as I can imagine my car from here 🙂
also irgendwie sieht der Bereich bei mir anders aus... für mich sieht das bild bei näherer Betrachtung nicht nach einem Insignia- Schweller aus...
hat der Insignia eine Plastikabdeckung?? Die hatte doch zuletzt der Astra G bzw. Corsa C.
von der form der Abdeckung her, könnte es auch ein corsa B sein
Das Kunststoffinnenradhaus sieht bei meinem etwas anders aus, aber vielleicht wurde auch hier etwas verändert. Das Blech könnte schon Insignia sein.

Meiner ist genauso alt wie der vom TE sein soll.... Ich hab mir auch nen neueren angeschaut- sowohl das Plaste-Teil, als auch Schweller sehen mir nicht nach Insignia aus....
Seems they'll never learn such things... my mid-90's-Vectras have exactly the same problem.

So far the GM technical dep. has to tell what to do with this problem.
But 10 days ago my engine block or engine head cracked /I exclude the head gasket as the source of problem/.
-suddenly I had a coolant lebel low lamp
-I had to fill 1 liter of cooling fluid per 20 km.
- A lot of smoke/steam came from oil cap.
-Oil level seems to be the same
-Oil color like a cofee
-No smoke from oil indicator cap.
-Engine temperature stable 90 C deg
-acceleration 0-200 ok
-engine was jerking a bit after fast drive
It seems that the whole engine will be replaced under warranty. 65000 km mileage. This is another 2.0t my2009 in EU with this problem. I can not say that I drove slowly but it sounds like factory engine fault. Maybe porosity of engine block.
I drove on PB98, engine oil 100% syntetic and changed every 10000 km. Quite a surprise is`n it ? Opel GT 2.0t hasn`t this problem. Quite curious what will happen if GM put the same 2.0T LDK to Astra OPC / 300 KM/ . The old good LER was more strudy.
The hell, jooseph, what are you doin' ?
In older posts you mentioned some kind of software remapping to your 2.0t ?! In this case it is a godsend, if GM is so kind to replace your blasted engine for free.
If i were you, i would make air jumps all day long but i would consider to remap the new engine in the future.

Fully agree if the remapping was still "encouraging" the engine the polish GM service must be very generous ;-)

well, first of all - it seems that few new 2.0 NHH were ordered recently to different location in EU .
It could be that NHH had engine block redesigned a bit to follow heavy thermal load ?
Second thing I will pay for part of this repair.
Third thing - same engine will be introduced as 300KM.
Fourth thing . Such failure should not happen so early unless You drastically raise the power.
but that is only IMHO
Do you know how much you pay for the repair?
Well, yes the AHT ist a very "hot" Engine... The engine is so hot, I can 2 hours after a ride still fry an egg on it. Acutally we have 23-29 Degrees here, when i go out for a longer ride an come home and restart the Engine after 6 Hours its still 70°-80° Cooler temperature..
So.. i get a new handmade 3 inch Exhaust System to improve the heat problem.
I dont think its a "regular" Problem with the Engine.. some professional tuners get the A20NHT up to 300 hp.

I do not know which rev. of engine You have, there are two NHT / NHH
1. Costs - Not yet,
2. It is hot, I suppose differences between 2.0 nht and 2.0 nhh could be related to this.
3. As for the "regular" problem I thought extacly as You to the moment of failure.
4. Did You measured EGT before/after ? This is what I regret to not measure. Good question what
EGT is on stock 2.0 nht fuelled with pb95 and mine tuned 2.0 nht with pb98. For sure I use a motul
5w40 which is supposed to be more resistant to high temperature. But I have to think again what oil use after engine replacement. Maybe factory advised 0w30 dexoss 😉?
Hey Jooseph,
i dunno! for the Insignia 2.0 T there is only one Engine, the A20NHT!
The Z20NHH is the Opel GT Engine. The A20NHT is the same Engine as the Z20NHH.
Wtf is the A20NHH? Is it the new 2.0 Turbo Buick Engine for the Buick OPC?
I cant find anything about it...
No I have not yet measured the temperature, but its logical.. less back pressure, more heat dissipation... i think the EGT and the whole Engine Temp. is the biggest Problem on same Engines (Z20NHH/A20NHT)... do you have the stock intercooler kit?! There is one here:
http://www.dbilas-shop.com/.../Insignia:::7_385_387_3550.html
it is installed in the Steinmetz/Irmscher 2.0 Turbos

Seen all the trouble with oil and water you really tested the car from 0 to 200 km/h?? What for to burn it?? And where did you do this on a motorway in Germany??Zitat:
