2005 Opel Signum [2.8 V6 turbo ECOTEC 230HP] |0-100| POV Test Drive

[@d-hbaxxit846]

Two years ago I bought a Signum 2.8 V6 Turbo from an 82 year old man who bought the car new in 2007. The man had tears in his eyes when he sold me the car. He would have loved to continue driving it but he needed a car that was higher and bought an Opel Grandland. The car looks like new and has received all maintenance and service. The car had only done 48,000 km. Absolutely fully equipped! Unfortunately, it is very difficult and expensive to get parts for this car. Parts for shock absorbers (IDS+), engine and exhaust are almost impossible to get in Germany. The engine was also installed at Saab and new parts are still available in Sweden. However, I had to pay 210 euros for a thermostat. The new chassis costs 2,800 euros. In Poland you can get a repaired chassis for 200 euros per damper but you have to pay a deposit until you have sent your old chassis back. Having timing chains made costs around 3000 euros including labor. You have to take care of this car so that it runs wonderfully and quickly. I really enjoy driving the car and will continue to drive it for a very long time!!!

I have a Signum 1.9cdti and i love it...very confortable and very good handling and quite sporty given its size. I did a lot of work that transformed it. When I bought it it was almost a wreck. Brembo discs and pads. Bilstein springs and shock absorbers. Reprogramming...a very nice sound for a diesel 👍. I will also make a video.

My dad had one as a rental on a business trip in Germany in 2005 And that’s when I first heard of it being an American kid

Miałem signuma 1.9 CDTI automat, było fajne do czasu, zaczęło się psuć, wtryski siadły, ale jednak dobrze wspominam samochód

[@VDriving]

Do you borrow those cars from dealers or how are you able to drive so many different ones ?

[@stipemrkic]

[@MrRohanThomas]

why is it shifting at 5.3k revs?

[@pavel6161able]

Потому что автор в тапок не жмёт. Я на спорт режиме такую в 6600 крутил на автомате и получал 7.7 секунд 0-100

Interesting. It reaches 100 in 9 seconds. My fiat Brava 1.6 with 16 valve engine under 9.9.

The Signum isn’t exactly a light car…

@@H.K_R You're right . Mine is only 1090 kilos

Więcej automatów proszę bo rzadko się pojawiają

Drinking 15-20 liters but 0-100 9 seconds 😂, not logical to me

[@KylieBeattie]

I was watching a video of a vauxhall signum and cos it's a big car and automatically think it's a 5 seater cos its big enough to be with extra doors and I watched furious driving and it had a fridge back in the middle other than a seat am not joking

Wtf? Your Grandfather was driving? 😂

[@pavel6161able]

Что вы раскудахтались? 9 секунд вам не нравится? А то что он в пол не жмёт и у него обороты на переключении не больше 5500 никого не волнует? Автобозорщики, мля.. У меня на канале посмотрите как надо разгон мерить правильно на 2.8Т..

[@John_The_Revelator.]

Дело в том, что у Сигнума 2.8 на автомате стоит совсем другая прошивка мотора и коробки. Она специально сделана овощной в угоду комфорту, как для бизнес класса. Многие думают, что раз стоит движок, как в ОРС, то и ехать он должен, как OPC. А на самом деле все совсем не так. Там и сам двигатель немного отличается по конструктиву.

[@pavel6161able]
