Greeting's great people of the VOC! I was talking to a friend at work regarding a "whistling" issue I have on my 2.0 sri CDTI insignia at work and he advised to join a Vauxhall forum and talk to other owners of Vauxhall's in the hopes of finding a solutions that's not going to cost hundreds at a garage! Some of the guy's i've spoke to about the issue have been like "It's not worth the money just get a new car" To which I replied ,,|, I love my Insig! haha, Don't want to replace her, only thing I'd want to change in the media centre on it, but im struggling to find somewhere up in Nottingham that'll fit one for me and get it working. So, on acceleration can hear the front of the engine like whistling, I don't know if its the turbo, water pump or what ever. I haven't noticed a loss of power, when I put my foot down in gear's 2 and 3 she still shifts, screen wash system still works, aircon still works, just a strange whistle on acceleration that im thinking COULD be a dirty turbo? to which im thinking of buying this to spray down it and give it a clean. Recently had a friend listen to the noise and he seems to think that could just do with an oil change (Which is done yearly anyway) or potentially a full engine flush using a product like that Liquid Moly (link to product) I'd love to get opinions from others that own Insignia's and Vauxhalls in general on what they think it could be? and potential non-garage fixes for it? Thank's in advance guys n gals

I recently had the wet belt issue on my GrandlandX 1.2. A Vauxhall dealership diagnosed the issue as Wet Belt and then asked for £1049 for the repair. Eventually I made a case via Vauxhall customer service and their Good Will Dept, (I gave no details except the dealership). They paid in full for the costs.

Usually gear knobs either unscrew (anticlockwise) or pull directly upwards (but ensure your face is not directly above when doing this - been there before)
