Hello people, after an ad-blue problem, which was solved by cheerful parts exchange, I am no longer particularly positive to talk to Opel workshops. Therefore, I would like to discuss a problem here first and hope for really knowledgeable members. My Vivaro B year 2017, 1.6l 90 hp with now approx. 140t km starts badly. I bought it used and really well jumped it has never except in warm condition. Sometimes I already had the feeling that it at kal I can’t define it correctly, only sometimes I’m surprised that it starts the first time. In a cold state it’s common to start twice and even the second time it can still be that you have to “org” for a short time. The glow candles were changed about 10t km ago. My thinking is, that the temperature of the outside is even slightly lighter, like when it was very summer temperatures, when it was in the sun all day long. the glow plugs may not really glow, so they are not controlled at all. Could that be and what would be the cause? Is the control unit responsible for this and where does the control unit get the information to pre-glow? Is it pre-glowed during each start process (i.e. also in a warm state)? Or is there completely different reasons? The compression has not been tested so far, but in my opinion the engine of the power should be in order. kstatt be tested and could this also be done by a free workshop (without Opel software or tester)? Greetings to all Colo

In October 2018, there were 158 new registrations for the Opel Combo Life, of which 90 were diesel. Since the beginning of the year, there have been a total of 1,420 (944 diesel) new registrations. Source: KBA

Hello, I recently bought a second-hand Opel Vivaro from a dealer. Now I have noticed that the steel rims are tyred with 215/65R16C (which are currently mounted on the car), but these are not registered in the vehicle license. There is 215/60R17C which was also added with summer tires. Does anyone have any idea if this is right? Greeting Michael

Hello everywhere and to the transmission experts here! I’m about to buy a Vivaro (BJ 2011, 114 hp, 104 tkm, Leasingreturner). When we wanted to test it, the gear shift did not work – it couldn’t be put in a single gear – nevertheless, an employee could somehow move it from the parking lot into the hall. Seller said “This is certainly only the stick and not the gear itself” and told me after a few days that this would be repaired. Now the F Rage: Can something be said about the possible condition of the transmission on the basis of this situation? If it has been moved like this, what does it do with the transmission? Can it be that it was only “the rod” or the rope hoist, which has worked out (?) or so and the transmission remained completely untouched by it? or is that more like: Experience shows that this is the pre-registration for the fact that you need a new transmission very soon? Or something else? the brakes: service brake in front: slight differences brake discs in the rear: be aware of the condition Is the renewal of the brakes coming to me soon? Is there quite insecure before the decision. We were not there again for testing. About assessments/experiences I am happy Veronika

The driver display often shows me two traffic signs with different speed limits (usually 30! and 50 at the same time). How can I select the correct traffic signs (or speed limit) for the speed controller? If I only confirm with OK, the lower limit is always taken, which is mostly wrong. PS. This problem only has the facelift version (with the larger display).

Hello everyone, I took off the door panel yesterday and found a white, glued styrofoam film behind it. It almost sticks to the large openings (see photo).My question: What is this film and what part number does it have? What happens if you don’t have it?

Hello, I have the following problem of the 1,9 74 KW engine does not start. After a longer start the engine starts slowly, but then runs normally and runs without any error. Also jumps immediately again. If I take the vehicle off again longer, it starts again from the front, only difficult to start. Leak oil test was carried out, since all four nozzles were the same in the volume output. Rail pressure I can not read out yet, since I have no tester. Can you check anything else without testing r? Diesel filter, incandescent pins are new.

This directory should help to interpret the error messages in the facelift. Unlike in the previous model, the errors in the facelift can no longer be read out in detail on the display. A huge loss! Thus you have to call Opel in case of unclear errors. In the conversation you can then possibly (like me) realize that the agents on the phone have no idea of cars. Thus you can get the benefits of the mobility insurance of Opel a You’re about to make up, and there’s only the Internet left…

Hello, I have been offering an Opel Combo (E) Life with navigation system “Multimedia Navi Pro System” since February 2020. After registration of the Opel app, an update of the map material is offered to me. Unfortunately, the link for the instructions on how to prepare the update (USB-Stick …) can not be opened until today. Since the system is also installed on Peugeot, I got the instructions there and formatted the USB-Stick (32 GB FAT32) and copied the files to the stick after default. Since a system update for the infotainment system was offered, I also copied the files to the stick as specified. The update was started to install as it was explained in the description. After about a third of the update process, the message that an error would have occurred and the system restarted appeared appeared. However, the whole system does not work and only remains on one screen, on which the message appears to be restricted (unfortunately not) . If someone has a tip on how to get the system back to run? I don’t think it’s possible to make it work for a Opel?

Hello. I am thinking of getting the current Vivaro with Bi-Turbo engine (145 hp). We mainly need a large family car with plenty of space, but also as a towing vehicle for a caravan (1600 kg) plus holiday load it should be suitable. And exactly on the second point I wonder if it is not a little undermotorized for it. According to technical data it may pull up to 2to, but my other 1.6 L diesel (no Bi-Turbo and only allowed up to 1700 kg train weight) is a bit difficult. Does anyone have experience with the model in train operation? How are your other experiences with the model, especially in the private environment. The reviews on various other portals are very disappointing, especially in the area of the indicated mottled consumption values. But that wouldn’t be the most important point for me now. By chance someone knows if a model update is planned at Opel or Renault in the foreseeable future? With my luck next year a new model will come and then you won’t wait black. Would you please me to read one or another experience.
