Watchdog: Insignia Fires
« on: 03 May 2012, 20:16:47 »
Interesting piece on these fires, not power sounders  ::)

Apparently 2009-2010 ones with derv engines, have issues with PAS pipework. It runs close to the DPF, if they leak the PAS fluid sprays/drips onto it and let be fire!

Must be a bit scary, potentially loosing power steering plus smoke/fire!

These DPF's do appear to be quite troublesome, no doubt stupid length oil changes don't help!

Something to watch out for when they get older

I seem to remember some of the early Migs had a similar problem, initially at least.
