Hi
My 2006 Signum Z22YH has recently had the power steering fail.
For the first two days it would have the light on and no power on starting but after a drive of about 10 minutes it would start working again.
FYI the car has done around 120k miles and has never had any problems like this...
Progress update:
Removed the rocker cover and checked the tension of the chain ... no slack whatsoever.
While I had the top off I thought it a good idea to have a look around ... spotted what looked like one of the chain guide bolts loose next to the inlet cam sprocket.
With the help of a...
Here is a video of the start up from cold.
First attempt had too much noise from the engine to be able to pick out the new noise so in this one I pull back so you can hear the clatter.
Also had to convert from 3gp to avi so there is a stutter in the video right at the start.
then found it I...
Bought the car from NetworkQ in Stratford in 2012 and have done two oil changes myself since ... last one less than 10K ago (last April).
If I want to remove the cam cover to check the slack do I need to have a replacement gasket ready before refitting?
That is just in case I decide the job to...
It has done 76,000 miles and no chain channge that I know of ... I was once told by an ex vaux mechanic that the engines are fit for 100k plus.
How do I check the cam chain for slack?

In the end I drove the car several times until it went into limp mode while monitoring the fuel pressure using OP-COM.
It got worse each time (meaning less then 500kPa, but still no joy using the diagnosis flow chart.
In the end I decided it must be the pump and found a half price genuine...
Hi evocarlos,
Thanks for the flowchart ... hadn't found that thread before ... will go through it all again today.
One question ... disconnecting the FPR ... is this done with the engine running or with it off?
Also having read through the thread again ... if I can end up at the part where it...
Hi All,
I have a Signum with the Z22YH engine, two days ago it came up with the "spanner in a car" light and immediately went into limp home mode. When I used OP-COM it showed the code:
P1191 - Fuel Pressure System Malfunction
(52) - Present
I reset the code and ran it again, after 10 minutes...
