Ipresumed the same 1.6 cdti engine is used in both models, but I’ve not come across anything similar on this forum, so wondering if the Insignia 1.6 cdti is setup differently, or the Astra 1.6 cdti problem is exaggerated? Also, does the 2.0 cdti also have a timing chain or a traditional cam belt?

Hi Redman, I'm now getting that occasional timing chain rattle for a second or two on start up. There is an issue on start up whereby you hear a bit of timing chain rattle intermittently, which is down to a tensioner issue.
Its to do with the oil draining away from the chain and then recirculating back again on start up. Hence the noise as it takes the few seconds for the oil to circulate around the engine. That was what was explained to me. SRI, 1.6CDTI, 136bhp, 2016 plate, Manual, Grey, Admin. Save.
