    Hi guys


    I'm just wondering can you help me ,I'm currently driving a 2016 1.6 opel insignia , I have the dreaded service vechicle soon on my dash ,my car has just be serviced, I took it to my main opel dealer who done a diagnostics which gave a code reading of U1516 B3622 U150F

    ,they said it must be a wiring fault,they had my car for a week but could not locate the issue,I noticed the stop start also hasnt worked in a while so thinking it might be connected i got a new battery again i had no joy , i also have taking it to an auto electrical technician and again he said he couldnt find a fault and that my engine was working 100%,I'm hoping you guys might have seen this issue before because I'm up in arms as to what's causing it , maybe it is a software issue or something , your help would be very much appreciated!!!!

    Google searches show those as Battery, steering control and radio interface issues. Software is also mentioned. Did the dealer not investigate it further when they done the fault reading?

    They’re an awful heap of a car, my brothers cdti 2.0 and two friends have them (2010-2011)

    both my brothers and one of my friend’s key case just fell apart, both have issues with some expensive boot sensors

    both have air con compressor issues , plus numerous other electronic problems, won’t go into details ref dpf

    ( had asconas and cavaliers and an omega in years past no issues)

    DPF related problems you can solve easily, drive the car. Too many short distances and your DPF can not regenerate. If you like to drive every day like 2km school, 2km work, 2km shop, 2km home then that car does not last long time. Have a nice holiday every weekend somewhere far, far away.

    Electronics problems are very related by short distances, not enough battery charging. It is not the shame to use several times every year the battery charger. Soon as battery voltages are constantly umber 12.4VDC it starts disintegrate the battery chemistry. Fully charged car battery should be 12.6DCV
