- A quick video of how to change a thermostat in a 2009 Vauxhall insignia 2.0 cdti.
If ive helped you along the way feel free to tip me a few pennys through paypal at... shaunsautorepairs@hotmail.com Any donations or tips are very appreciated.
Thanks Shaun for sharing with us, I have a problem with my Insignia 2016, 1.6, temperature stays around 60-70 degrees only, not going up.
Hi, thanks for watching and your comment. It does sound as if your thermostat is opening to soon or stuck open.. does your radiator get hot as the engine warms up indicating its stuck open or does it stay cold untill the temp reaches 60,70 degrees. In either case it sounds like you need a thermostat replacement.
Thanks for that.
Will be the same location for Insignia 2016 1.6? Cannot really find where the thermostat is located.
Thanks

Thanks a lot for sharing this find on youtube. I have a customers car doing the same. Coolant very brown too. Kind of unusal to stick intermittent i thought do. But anything is possible with opels.
This issue I have when i start engine the cooler ventilator starts and runs continuously, which probably thermostat is down
Hello mate thanks for the video
My 63 plate insignia dumped water from the bottom of the radiator, filled up just over a litre and drove home, got a pressure test done and no leaks. Two days ago after a good four hours driving, temp warning came up, stopped and let the engine cool down, added just over a litre and drove home ok, help please, why is this happening?
Great video im having a problem with my Vauxhall insignia sri 2015 2.0 cdti eco engine getting hot after a couple of miles from cold and water tank boiling up and heat gauge goes up and had a message on dash saying shut down ide or something could this be the thermostat thanks
Also heater is fine gets hot as normal.
If the interior heater is blowing hot air then you have circulation which means the waterpump is proberly OK.
It's possible you may have an air lock in the system if you've recently lost coolant.
Other possibility are blocked radiator but it does sound like a thermostat problem.
Hi, I have problem with my vauxhall insignia 2010. It's go overheat from 90 to 110 and tonight it's go to 130 but I put on neutral and go on next street from main. Road and its drop straight back to 90... And it's not give error... You think I will be the termostat?
I got the same issue did you solve you problem ?
Helpful video ,thanks
thermostat should be venter after replacement? and where?
Awesome video thanks for sharing. Where would the water temperature sensor be located can’t seem to find any information on the internet as to where it is in the engine bay? I’ve got a insignia 2009 2.0 cdti. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi..thanks for your comment. I couldnt remember off hand where it was but if you watch at 4.40 you can see it on the side of the cylinder head where the thermostat fits on.
@@shaunsautorepairs5410 thanks so much for the reply
Hi I've had my thermostat changed and my head gasket and now it's leaking coolant from the thermostat housing. Just behind the metal pipe. It's a 1.8 petrol insignia. I've had it backwards and forwards to the same garage. I'm starting to loose patience with them now. Can you advise 😊
Offhand i dont know...all the insignias ive dealt with have all been diesel.
Is it possible its leaking from elsewhere rather than the thermastat housing. These normaly seal up quite well unless they are cracked.. Sorry i cant be of more help
thanks
Hope you found this helpful. Thanks for watching and your comment
2011 petrol satnav leaks and temperature high the RAC guy said it's termostat must be changed with all housing it's that right. Thanks for all answers
Hi, yes the thermostat and the housing come as one unit.
@@shaunsautorepairs5410 what about the anticoller pipe is that could the the problem as well cause I got leaks and I can't say where is leaking exactly cause is under the thermostat it looks same. Thanks a lot
My car same 2009 vauxhall insignia fan comes on even t starring how much fir this replacement
Chances are you just need a new tempreture sender and not a thermostat. Do you have the service engine soon message?. Do you have access to a code reader with live data to check the tempreture sender?
Hiya mate my 2010 cdti is having a little issue. My temp gauge is fluctuating between 90 n about 85/80... I've just had to have the oil cooler changed as it had split and was loosing coolant from their. Its still however showing in the gauge that the temp is moving up n down. What you reckon could this be the theromstat?
Hi thanks for watching and your comment. It could be the thermostat or possibly an air lock in the system.
Hi.. some advice would be appreciated. Vauxhall insignia 1.8 Sri. On idle the temps stays normal and fans come on. As soon as I drive a mile or so she heats up quickly. Could this be thermostat not opening? Thanks
Could be thermostat or could be either waterpump or at worst an internal water leak I.e headgasket...do you know if at idle and its upto tempreture and the fans come on is the radiator or radiator pipes hot or are they still cold.... . To check water pump flow... can you see in the coolant bottle, can you see any circulation, water movement in there? Do you get heat inside the car... lots of variables here...
@@shaunsautorepairs5410 thanks. I’ve ordered thermostat and head gasket test kit. The fans do come on while idling and the temps stay constant and yes there is water flow in coolant bottle. Not so much heat in the car. I know when I switch on A/C it climbs much quicker even in idle, but if I switch it off it goes back to normal. I will check the pipes. I know at least one of them gets hot. Thanks again
Thanks for sharing.
You should consider more light just for your work. For recording such videos as well. :)
Yes your right.. Its all filmed on my phone which isnt ideal...
Ive gotta do this next week after my bleed screw cracked and leaked and i had to seal up with putty, the wire clip at the hose end of the thermostat housing how does it come off?
As far as i remember it was just a spring clip. The type that you have to compress the two ears to remove it.
Just a quick one. I can see there is a temperature se sor built into the housing. Also there is another on somewhere on the engine. Are they both to control the coolant fans? Mine when I start the engine with no AC on the fans are on all the time. The sensor on the engine has already been replaced. Should I change the thermostat as I heard it's a non removable sensor?
János Vincze I think that would be the thermostat mate. Got the same problem myself. Gonna get a new thermostat soon
@@thomaskennedy9669 Problem sorted. the Aircon unit has been overfilled by the technician causing the pressure sensor to be on all the time.
János Vincze ah ok cheers mate
I have a problem with my insignia where it leeks water when driven hard and the engine is hot. I have no idea what's causing it. Have to too it up with water every time driven.
Your first have to check if you have any external visual signs of leakage. Check areas like around the thermostat, heater hoses, radiator etc. If its from the front of the engine, dripping from around the crankshaft pulley its likely to be the water pump... Another possibility is a leak inside the car from the heater matrix. This will make the footwell carpet wet... If you cant see any external leaks then it could be headgasket related...
Do you need a gasket, all so, when toping up with coolant, do you bleed it through, or just top it up . Ps how do you take of the ecu unit.
Hi the gasket is supplied with the unit.. Once fitted you can just top the coolant up as you wont loose much then bleed it from the new bleed screw...you dont need to remove the ecu to do this just plastic covers and the air duct pipe. The bracket for the ecu sumply unclips..i think you may need a thin screwdriver for this and it simply lifts out.
Hi Shaun, how do you shift the ECU out of the way.
It literally just unclipped and you lift it out its bracket.. no disconnecting required... I dont recall it being a problem to move...
Hi ate cheers good vide do you think dodgy thermostat could causing no heat from heaters unless 26 or higher?
Yes if it is stuck open it may cause circulation problems in your heater or maybe its missing altogether. What temp does the coolant gauge show.
What thermostat did you use?
Hi, Thanks for watching and your comment but to be honest I can't remember what thermostat it was as it was some time ago now.. If your referring to the opening tempreture it would have been the standard unit as supplied by the parts factor. As to the make, if its not shown in the video I realy can't help you. Sorry
Where is the bleed screw located on a Vauxhall insignia 2009??
The bleed screw should be on the thermostat housing...about 4-5 inchs up the pipe...proberly hidden as i remember
How long does this job take mine needs doing
As far as I remember it wasn't a long job... proberly a couple of hrs including bleeding the system and everything.
Thanks for watching and the comment.
what is the name / part number for the hose that connects the thermostat to the coolant tank please?
I dont know off hand sorry.
I guess you could google it or just describe it when you go to the parts shop.. Sorry i cant help you
@@shaunsautorepairs5410 no probs, thanks anyway. I think I found it, just googled coolant overflow hose
Just been quoted £400 to change thermostat in a 4 year old insignia. Main dealer of course.
Thats outrageous...sounds right for dealer prices though
Well. Hope so. I got. The same problem
Thanks for watching
