  • Crossing the timing belt-change interval…???

    Hello dear community, I have a somewhat stupid question, but maybe one of you can give me a recommendation. The situation is this: My Omega Caravan 3.0 V6 from 03/2000 has currently run about 177000 km. At 180822 km, according to the maintenance book, the replacement of the timing belt would be due. But now it is the case that I am on business in Scandinavia and will book my next field service tour with about 4700 km. If I get the timing belt If I am back in Germany, I would have the change interval changed by 878 km. My question now is whether this is questionable, or would have to give me some cause for concern in any way? By the way, the 4 years since the last exchange have not yet passed – only the kilometers would have been exceeded. And actually I didn’t want to have the (but not quite cheap) timing belt change carried out in the long term. What do you think? vall sometimes even exceed something, without the same tearing? Thanks to you already. Many greetings Vince PS: Am frequent driver, mostly long distance at a dignified pace (so the car is not throbbed

  • Oil loss due to oil filling cap at 2.5 DTI

    Hello forum friends, I have a busy day behind me and need your opinion: this morning I drive on the highway, suddenly the message in the BC: engine oil stand check. I drive out, open the hood: everything full with engine oil, filling lid away. My first thought was that I forgot the lid at the last refill (peellich!!).The ADAC comes, takes me huckpack to the next workshop, because he advises me because of fire danger, the ride (of course with more oil) after a motor car The workshop fills up the oil, washes the engine, puts a new original filling lid on it and makes a short test drive. The mechanic comes back, opens the hood: the same again, lid almost unscathed and everything with oil. Great discussion where the pressure comes from. After some consideration together with the workshop master I come to the decision to complete the approx. 50 km home with a lightly drawn oil measuring rod and without much power requirement. r Motor runs clean and round, no white or black smoke, (cooling water and oil look normal) and if I had wanted it would have been tracked off as usual, so was my impression. My long-standing car mechanic at home (free workshop, proven competence for many years) thought it could be due to an added or frozen crankcase ventilation, piston ring breakage or defective cylinder head seal would be unlikely, since the engine runs well, he can tell me more only tomorrow. Wss you mean, what I have to expect, or what can I add to the possible discussion tomorrow. I hope, of course, that everything will go smoothly. Say what you think about it. Thank you so much and have a nice evening!!

  • Crossland and his “enemies”, who compares and thinks…?!

  • Cost Timing belt change

    Hello, my wife drives a crossland from 09/22, 130hp, automatic! This PSA engine has the timing belt running in the oil. The change still has time, however, I asked purely informative times, what this costs at present. The FOH meant approx. 1400 – 1500 Euro! That would be really violent. Oil pan must be removed to clean the sieve etc. Did someone let you change the timing belt at your own expense? If so, at what price? VG Thomas

  • Which petrol engine is recommended for Crossland?

    Hello, I’m thinking about buying a new Crossland. Which engine variant (petrol) is recommended in terms of maintenance costs (gear belt, chain?) and durability (mainly short distance)? Which defects in the engine and automatic transmission have been known or occurred? Thank you for your feedback.

  • Grandpa’s Crossland X – are you OK?

    Hello, we have brought Grandpa his “new” Crossland X during the winter holiday, because he no longer wants to drive at 86 – quite meaningful Now I take care of the vehicle to get fit again. We have already renewed a new battery, new tyres and TÜV. But now on the topic. Here are data about the vehicle : Model: Opel Crossland X – KBA 1844/ADS EZ: 26.09.2018 Power: 96 kW 130PS KM : 4000 Last service at 3200km on 18.10.2022 Soo, here’s my question. On the Opel website I checked whether there is a call back, but that’s not the case. I called the dealer’s office now and the original part numbers were communicated to me at the last service. Oil – 1675652280 spark plugs – 9833964280 I would like to know if the oil and candles are correct and can stay inside. Thanks for the support.

  • Performance problems Passat TDI

    I have a Passat TDI and since the ASU I have a clinker on the exhaust or cat. For about 2 weeks the problem is that the engine no longer delivers power (motorway). The diesel consumption is very low about 5 liters. What can I do?

  • R.I.P. Y25DT

    After 248tkm my omega finally succumbs to his second capital engine damage. I just drove my children to the cinema and on the return trip at approx. 190km/h everything went very fast: power loss, huge oil flag, MKL and extreme cooling water loss. The rest of the trip went Huckepack with the yellow angel to my home. The engine is brimming with an oil/diesel mixture and blocked while spinning. There probably the HD pump has its Simmerring. I don’t know what happens to the remains of the Omis yet. I have to let it go first. This event will definitely end my active time in the Omega/Senator area. After 14 years of Omega it may also be something else. But it wouldn’t have to be right now. I will of course continue to look in here and if I may also hit with the F, I will not be able to do anything else. Remdfabrikat at the meeting! You are a great bunch here!!!

  • Part number for T-piece return Y25DT and error LMM and AGR

    Hello together! Since I drive on Friday with the thickness on vacation, I sent my wife to FOH today. Make error memory read out. Result: error message air mass meter error message AGR valve Furthermore it was found that a “connection” T-piece is leaking in the return line of the injectors. That would explain the bad start behavior and the light diesel smell for some time. That the ZV actuator is in the driver’s door o.F., I had already s The FOH has apparently tried, but has not found the T-piece in the part program. Now my questions: – Does anyone of you have the opportunity to find out the part number? – The air mass meter is only 3 years old, can it actually be over again? – The AGR valve is closed by plugging in the underpressure line. Can this set the error code? – Can the LMM error be triggered by the shut down AGR valve where The FOH explicitly said error message LMM, not that the LMM must be defective…… Greeting Robert

  • Cruise retrofitting

    Hallöle, I just fought through the FAQs and I noticed: damn, there’s not what I need. That’s why I’m asking if anyone has seen the threat before, please write to me what exactly I have to look for. I have an omega 2.5 v6 petroler bj 94. Now I have ordered a cruise control and built in, i.e.: control panel, flash lever and Bowdenzug. I’m very well suited to the Opel dealer and wanted to get me brake and clutch switch. because: I have model bits car number shot me dead and for that there would be only one clutch switch and a brake light switch. he remembered I should bridge something, but what didn’t he know. in the forum, many have something to do, but what? There is no cable on the control unit between braus/white and blue/red, does it have something to do with it? Do I have to plug a fuse, or is it already stuck (no instruction from the car) It is a switchcar and I would be happy about help.
