2014 Plate CDTi ecoFlex common faults

[2014CDTi]

Hi guys,

I am looking to buy an Insignia 2.0 diesel CDTi ecoFLEX SRI today. It's a 64 plate. £3,500 with regular oil changes and 94,000 miles

I am just wondering if you guys can help me with what I should look for when buying this car.

Does this model have the oil pickup seal issue? Should I be looking to see if the timing belt has been changed? Do they get the issues with the subframe?

If there's anything else you can advise on that would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I’ve had a 2014 EcoFLEX SRI for 6 years and it’s been reliable. Have had one failure of the thermostat which caused the car to think it had overheated.

Since then I’ve had an engine management light / loss of power due to a split inter cooler to intake hose and had faulty pressure sensors on glow plugs. Have managed to isolate the faulty glow plugs as x 4 of mine are pressure sensing and got away with replacing two.

I have had an oil pressure warning x 2 and will be replacing the pick up seal soon. I’ve done 80,000 miles over that time and its now up to 161.000.

WIth used cars there is a lot of luck and hope that its been looked after before.
