Hello. I have an Insignia 2009, 1.8 petrol and I have a 1-2 second screeching sound and the engine sputters when starting from cold. The squeal comes from the timing gear on the intake camshaft. 4 sprockets changed in 5 months, an oil pump and VVT solenoid valve. Why does the pinion fail? On start up my Insignia has a very noisy rattle. It stops within a second or two. it's been back to the dealer many times and the last thing they changed was the cam sprockets. This seem to work for a short time put the problem is now starting again. Any idea's or has anyone had this problem. Thanks.

Better to get back to dealer who carried out the work for answers
