Character

A28NET 2.8T V6

"Insignia OPC. Same GM HFV6 turbo as Saab 2.8T. Timing chain stretch notorious (chain at rear of engine). Turbo failure. Oil consumption. Expensive to maintain. Great power but fragile long-term."

1.6 CDTi (B16DTH)

"Astra K/Insignia B. Good diesel. DPF care needed. Fuel pump concerns at high mileage."
