Project 2.8v6 AWD insignia ( VXR ) shock absorber and power steering pump replacement.
What can possibly go wrong when changing your power steering pump and shock absorbers on your insignia?
Well quite a lot lol
The pump was changed after a little modification and shock absorbers cause a headache in this one.

    Hey i just finished watching all your awd conversion videos. Very detailed and cool swap! It looks like it all bolts right up. Have you noticed any frame/chassis differences between the FWD and AWD models especially in the driveshaft tunnel area? From what i can tell the fwd and awd regal/insignia chassis are identical.

When driving long distance the haldex is causing problems. Recently I services the haldex with new oil/filter and pump. Because of feeling the haldex in slow corners. After service it was gone. But now it came back. Any ideas What it might be?

    Hello. I have an insignia 2.0 T, 2009, 4x4. My haldex oil has leaked and is filling my differential. I read on the forums that valuable things should be replaced. 1.13334079-the grand semmering of the differential. 2.13296280 - differential pinion bushing (from Haldex). 3.22956728-Haldexa piston. It is clear about the seals of the Haldex and the differential, but why should the piston of the Haldex be changed?

Im looking at a 16plate vxr right now. The anxiety of what could go wrong is a slight turn off but i really would love one. Just looking for reassurance i guess mate

    Hi interesting video, just acquired one of these interesting VXR's myself, Im not getting any noise or errors, yet but think its only a matter of time, it does feel kind of funky when under power at the rear The front end of Haldex looks fairly straight forward to strip and rebuild, where do you get the parts? Would be really interested to see a more detailed strip down of the LSD itself would like to see what fails in them, and why, usefull video, cheers

Mines got the racing diffs pack in but my front wheels judder under any hard acceleration or turning at low speed....not sure why, I imagine that coating from the pack that creates the sludge in the oil wont be doing it any good....likely put the original one back in.
