Signum 2.8T common faults?

[bbdp]

As the title suggests I'm curious what to look out for? I hear everything fairly bulletproof as long as the service history is complete?

Suffers the same dodgy fuel gauge as the GSi ....

Never had any problems with any fuels.

Only light after 1 1/2 years and 14,000 miles is the fuel light

I've had mine for a year and 23,000 miles later its still going strong with no faults.

Well mines not a Signum but a 2.8T Elite, now over 125,000 and no major enine faults at all, I had the auto box changed at 53K as Vx feared an ingress of water as on the earlier models but I suspect that the water loss was down to the split header tank that was subject to a recall some while ago.
The only other problem I have had is that it fails to start when filled up fully in a petrol station, this may be the EVAP system but it passes all the TIS tests and i am not prepared to spent a great deal just replacing parts on spec.

The speedo seems to rise rapidly ..and the petrol gauge seems to fall rapidly ..other than that ...no problems at all ..oh apart from ...how many times you have to tell ppl what car it actually is

Lovely engines these.. Just had a days work on chrisvectra's (see my other thread) and its also a nice engine to work on.. Bit of a fiddle to change the rear spark plugs but apart from that

Re faults.. Not really seen many TBH for these.. I had a Saab in (same engine) that I was working on that had a weak actuator so the boost was trailing off to quick, and also a split boost pipe on a different saab (same engine).. but apart from that, keep the oil fresh with 5w30 GM stuff, keep the coolent correct and use the normal turbo rules (let it warm up before ragging it, dont rag it and then turn car off straight away etc etc ) and you should have a lovely car
