About Carb Mountings
The Carburettor is mounted on Insignia Vauxhall carb mountings which are designed to act as a sealant, holding the carb firmly in position and perfectly aligned. The carb mountings are usually a flange/plate used with circular rubber seals to create a soft, secure fix between the carb and the mount.
The Insignia Vauxhall carb mountings function to strengthen the holding of the carb to the intake manifold and to keep it in the right position, as well as absorbing vibrations and noise from the engine.
The carb has the important job of ensuring the right amount of air and fuel mix is provided to the cylinders in the engine in order for combustion to take place and for the engine to perform at its best. The Carburettor is essentially a pipe through which the air needed for combustion travels. The carb narrows in the middle which causes the pressure in the air, as it flows through the carb, to drop at this point, creating a vacuum which sucks the fuel in. It works by using valves, referred to as the choke and throttle, which take in the right amount of air and fuel which is mixed in the carb before it is sent to the engine.
Carb mountings will wear over time and can become brittle and cracked. Warped carb mountings can lead to a vacuum leak. Replacing this part when it has failed with Insignia Vauxhall carb mountings will ensure perfect compatibility, specifically designed for the make and model of your vehicle.
Vauxhall Insignia trivia
- If you pay about £800 extra on a new Vauxhall Insignia, then you can add the FlexRide system that lets you choose from three different driving settings.
- Not only is the Vauxhall Insignia the first from the manufacturer to include an eight-speed automatic gearbox, but the same gearbox can also be found in the much more expensive Porsche Cayenne.
- It is estimated that as much as 80% of all sales of a Vauxhall Insignia are to business users. This has been attributed to the fuel-efficiency of the Insignia, with the 120ps and the 140ps ecoFLEX engines reported to achieve 76.3mpg, which makes the Insignia a real class leader. Low emissions also mean a lot of potential tax savings.
- The demographics most likely to buy a Vauxhall Insignia are millennials and Gen-X. The car is much more likely to be bought by women than men.
- Although first used in the Astra, an updated version of Vauxhall’s IntelliLux system appeared in the Vauxhall Insignia. The system includes 32 LEDs in each headlight (which is more than double what it used to be). Those lights can even turn off automatically to avoid high-beaming other drivers!
