Hi all

Hi all,

I have recently bought a 56 plate 2.2i direct petrol Signum. Have to admit it has put the fun back into driving and the comfort is unbelievable.

I needed a bigger car as I have 2 boys (a toddler and a new born) and a German Shepherd but also tow a single axle caravan and other than the towing (no tow bar fitted yet) it hasn't let me down.

The car has 41k on the clock and has had a new ECU module and fuel pressure regulator fitted prior to buying it.

Welcome but also you'll want to only tank premium unleaded with your car otherwise you'll quickly end up with a fuel system failure

Welcome ,love the Signum but need pictures as it is the law in these parts .
As above you will need to make sure you use the correct grade of fuel ,
Happy driving

I did check that before I bought it. Did start on Tesco premium but now on BP Ultimate feel it's better for the car.

well that is a nice looking siggy Z157 does make it pop...

PS
check the forum if you are tired of the high price at the fuelpumps, you might want to upgrade the fuel system parts, this will futureproof the fuel system completely and allow you to tank the E10 fuel (without the need for additives or worries you'll mess up your engine, while saving money at each fill up).. mind you you can buy another car for that money but if you wan to keep it for a long time... it will be the better option and within 2 years you'll be able to get your money back if the fuel prices stay steady as they are right now (they won't and will only go higher) or come down s they'll add more ethanol to the unleaded fuel... so if you ask me it is a wise choice, as race fuel is e85 so mostly ethanol and 15% unleaded... it also gives more power...

Thanks definately one of the nice looking models of car.

I have heard about doing that but never looked into it. At the moment I fill up every 2 and a half weeks from a quarter empty which doesn't bother me to much (probably will look at the upgrade at some point).

Welcome!

Welcome from me too! Nice piece of Signum you have.
PS
Pay attention on E10 fuel, your engine specs doesn't enjoy it. As previously said by @northpole you should take in consideration an upgrade on fuel system parts in order to benefit of E10 fuels...Good luck!
