Insignia low oil pressure warning.
How-to replace Vauxhall Insignia oil pickup gasket, Opal Insignia engine oil sump removal
DIY how-to for replacing an engine oil pickup gasket that's located in the Vauxhall Insignia engine oil sump.
The method for replacing the gasket on a manual transmission and an automatic transmission is almost the same.
All the automatic transmission insignia cars have the pre cutout on the transmission box to remove the two Torx bolts and no need to rotate the flywheel.
Some manual transmission insignia cars have the pre cutout on the transmission box to remove the two Torx bolts.
Some manual transmission insignia cars do not have this cutout and you will need to undo the transmission box from the engine or drill two holes in the transmission box to gain access to these two bolts.
This is not a difficult task and can be done with a standard car toolkit and a few extra tools.
Extra tools needed
1. 32mm socket and a breaker bar use to remove the driveshaft big bolt.
2. A SLIM 150mm Long T40 Magnetic Star Torx Screwdriver Bit, use to remove the 2 T40 Torx bolts, which is located on the transmission side. (this can be found on eBay under "Hakkin 8pcs S2 Steel 150mm T8-T40 Magnetic Extra Long Star Torx Security Screwdriver Bits Set"
3. Some sort of chisel, use to break the sump from the engine after removing all bolts.
Parts needed for this job.
1. Engine oil.
2. Oil filter
3. Some transmission oil.
4. Sump gasket. part number: 55589549
In this video I started at 11am and finish at 6pm, that's with a lot of tea breaks and taking my jolly slow time.
Good luck.
PAUSE THE VID TO READ THE FAST SCROLL 🙂

    Steven Giddings. If you have a chisel or a crowbar, stick it between the sump and the gearbox and try to force it off. If you have a rubber mallet or a bit of wood you could also use it to hit the sump at the front and back, that should help to crack it. The sump is stuck on tight but some force and hammering will crack it. Good luck.

    If i had known about this problem with vauxhall insignia 2.0 cdti diesel engines, i would never have bought a 2015 insignia. Great video by the way, you will help a lot of people out with this DIY. I would never have the bottle to attempt it though. Until i heard about this problem with insignias, i loved my car, but now i feel like i am driving around with a ticking timebomb waiting to go off. And i read that Opel Vauxhall know all about this problem, and their way of fixing it is to re-programme the cars computer to not even show a warning on the dash about the oil pressure, because apparently, once you do get this warning, it is already too late to save the engine. And all for the sake of a small rubber seal. Well done again on the video.

    that comment is full of bullshit. Where have you seen Opel just reprogram the computer ? It make no sens to me because we can monitor the oil presure with the OPL monitor app so even if there is no warning we'll still see the low pressure on the App and the app will have it in red. When you get the low oil presure warning you still have time to fix it. It's not a big problem, it just need to be fixed quick, it's not a reason for not buying a car, unless the car already have the warning because we can't know how long the previous owner has been driving with that warning.

    Cheers for this TayouTroy! Just spent 14 hours over 2 days in the pouring rain doing our Astra J (2012, 2.0 CDTI 165ps stop/start, 103,000 miles) after it kept complaining when starting during these cold mornings. Really struggled for information on whether it affected the Astra too, but now I know it does, so for anyone else looking about their Astra, Insignia, Zafira etc, if it has the A20DTH engine, it has this issue! Our seal had a pretty large chunk missing out of it and was rock hard. Found it when cleaning the sump out. Shocking design flaw by FCA/GM.

A small problem came to light when I tried to check the oil level. It was stuck. I did not remove the dipstick when I put the sump back on so I had got it jammed up. Had to do the whole thing again. Only took 4 hours second time around. Yeah...who's the dipstick now.

    Peter Bryan Hi, I’m not sure if the removal of the other parts would be the same as the insignia but the rubber seal would be same. It may seems intimidated at first but trust me it’s not. Do it on a sunny day and start it early as it does takes a bit of time. All the best.

    Troy I got the top one of but that was extremely tight.. The bottom one is very tight obviously with all the rust and dirt.. Did you break the bolt loose first? before putting a spanner on the opposite bolt as they spin without spanner on other bolt.. All so did you put a lot of force when you had to hammer the thread out? From that lower arm as I have removed the bolt and need to hammer it out seems like that's pretty solid to. Troy I am a DIY mechanic like yourself so considering its lockdown have a lot of time on my hands to try tackle it haha

I have took drive shaft out and lowered exhaust etc undone all the sump bolts besides the two hidden bolts between flywheel. I bought the long t40 150mm tool... But turns out my 2 hidden bolts are t45 not t40 so I will have to wait for the t45 150mm to come from eBay so had to stop... Is breaking the sump of hard? All so when putting sump back on tricky?

    Ravy Preap if your gearbox is manual transmission and has the 2 hole cut out slot. You need to rotate the flywheel slowly by placing a winch on the bottom pulley. Then rotate the engine while looking through the torx cutout for a notch that is on the flywheel. Go to time 13:50 in the video you will see the winch on the pulley to rotate the engine to see the notch in the flywheel.

  • @TayouTroy

    @TayouTroy

    5 жыл бұрын

    Hi, Thanks. That’s a good question. I’m not sure as I don't know much about the electronics of the timing and sensors. The guys on the insignia-drivers.uk forum said I should rotate the pully. Also the Hynes manual states rotate the flywheel. I did not undo any of the timing belts so I’m guessing rotating the crank pully would operate similar to the starter motor turning the flywheel, I could be wrong. That’s a good point. Definitely put a mark on the crank pully position just incase. If I should have to do that gasket again I will mark the crank pully position before I rotate it, then when all is finished, rotate the pully back to its original state. Also, It's a good idea to disconnect the car's battery. I had the car radio on which drained the battery flat and I had to clear some low voltage fault codes with ODB tool. Good luck. Regards

Yep main dealer do charge a lot to replace the seal due to the amount of time it takes. You could also try smaller mechanic shops, they’re usually far cheaper. Search on gumtree for mechanic shops.

B:Have the last 5 oil changes killed my car & it was already on the way out before the service 3 weeks ago , what to do ??? , i know you may of fallen asleep by now but i only bought her in Sep & she was 3.5 k , which for my family man bank account was quite a hit , Tia 🤞🏼🤞🏼
