- Oil pump pickup seal failure (2.0 CDTi)Serious
This is the Mk1 Insignia's signature horror story: the pickup seal hardens, the engine sucks air instead of oil, and a briefly ignored warning can destroy the engine.
- M32 manual gearbox bearing wearSerious
Some lower-torque manual Insignias use the same M32 family gearbox that whines and wears its bearings when servicing and oil quality have been ignored.
- Electronic parking brake (EPB) failureModerate
Pre-facelift cars are prone to faults with the switch, module or rear caliper motors, which can leave the handbrake dragging or stuck on.
