  • Opel Combo 1.3 CDTI 2009 Smoke Exhaust Light Bulbs Display

    Hello I have a problem with an Opel Combo 1.3 CDTI (motor Z13DT) WOLOXCF25A4012044 115.000Km So the vehicle is running it’s no mistake Deposits except immobilizer probably because the battery was flat. The problem here is the light plugs lamp flashes permanently to smoke it sporadically for a time back from the exhaust white so quite strong smoke the stops after a time again and sometimes again whether cold or warm makes no difference the distances between d length of smoking are randomly I noticed I don’t know if that comes through the other things I mean it was also very cold outside the vehicle does not come over 70-75 degrees According to the tester I just don’t know where to start looking for I have read out the error memory NOTHING I checked the injectors backfeeds and compared hot and cold Everything good I tested the Lambda probe also times during the restlessness nothing I controlled the AGR from 0-100% F Unctioned achieved Should position oil is changed old had no special traces to show no diesel mixed Unfortunately I also did not have such a big story of this car except that it is maintained up to 100Tsd KM checkbook. If you could help me further where I can look for which parameters etc. simply that I can get ahead with the error In the video Here was the vehicle Warm of the smoke gets sometimes also denser than here the measurement of the return was 4 minutes I don’t see any dramatic differences here You can hear the restlessness a little while the return was missing with 2 injectors also pins I guess there was someone at work video at the engine run and smoke

  • Replace original Opelradio with its own radio

    Moin, I recently bought an Opel Combo – C – CNG and wanted to install my “old” radio from the last car. After previous Googlen I had to find out (which is hopefully right) that on newer Opel vehicles no more ignition plus, but was replaced with a CAN bus. However, a suitable cable from Amazon and Co. should cost about 70€, which I find a bit happy. After that I found at Amazon a “conversion kit complete”, consisting of the brackets for The Opel Radio, a frame to adjust the size of the DIN shaft and a “simple” connection cable. Because the Zündplus can also be fetched from the cigarette lighter if necessary or not? My question would be, has one of you ever done this? I think normal, with some craftsmanship, some experience in the installation of car radios and of course the equipment should be able to do this, right? Michael PS: I know that this is actually only available from Combo D, But I thought it was best to fit in here, which hopefully is OKay.

  • Vivaro shower ride height in parking garages

    Hello, I am a service technician of profession and have a Vivaro A as a long version. This has a front disc sticker with a minimum shower height of 2.3 (with roof antenna), the car itself is according to type approval 1.96m high. Professionally I often have to work in inner cities and there it is often the case that the parking garages are only 2 m or even 1.9m high. Parking garages with 2.1m have already driven without problems, but go 2m also? What does it mean if 2m are signposted, is t the guaranteed so with still 10cm reserve, or does that mean that from 2.01m already the roof has a bump? Thanks already for your help.

  • Electrical worm in the system – interior lighting

    A nice Sunday for all inclined readers! The interior lighting of my Vivaro does not react to open/close the door. However, if I sit in the car for a while and turn on the interior lighting (medium switch position), the bulb lights up until it runs out automatically. I then open the driver’s door (or that of the passenger), the interior is illuminated, wants to say, the lamp dimmes up, but then does not go out any more, even if I open the driver’s cabin v lock it. But it doesn’t do that on its own. So, I unlock the vehicle and open the door, it doesn’t give me enlightenment. I hope I could explain my problem half-way plausibly. At first, there is no “enlightenment” of the problem. The door switches seem to work, all other functions, especially the extinguishing of the lamp after closing and not locking the doors. Is there actually a control unit that can have a Macke?

  • Question about opening the gear oil socket (Opel Movano B)

    Hi together, I have been planning for some time to change the transmission oil on my Opel Movano B (built in 2016, L2H2, 110 hp, manual manual transmission). As far as I know, the PF6 transmission installed in the Movano has a hose with sockets, which can be filled with the transmission oil using a funnel (see attached pictures). Now the question arises: How do I get this socket opened? I have already tried to pull it, rotate it and in different directions It seems almost as if this is not a lid at all. Could it be that the stud only serves to vent the gearbox and can’t be opened at all? Does any of you have experience with it or an idea how to open it? Thank you in advance for your help!

  • Stellantis: camshaft chain problems of the 1.5 liter 130 hp diesel

    I’ve been researching the camshaft chain problems of diesel for months, because I owned such a problem vehicle and possibly also one. I found a rather unclear, short report today: She says that Stellantis has been providing support since 8 January 2025 for camshaft chain breaks of 1.5 liters of 130 hp diesel, which are not older than 7 years and have no more than 180’000 kilometers on the speedometer. So far it’s been reported 5 years and n I have not mentioned what the new support includes and which vehicle makers and countries receive it. I know with certainty that even if you pay yourself, you will not get any support if such a Stellantis problem diesel carries the Opel license plate. All the Opel workshops consulted told me: And so my Opel had passed the 5 years and was out of the box. PS. I am on the trail in original texts by Stellantis. Is everything very confused and chaotic. Stellantis contradicted and contradicted itself constantly. One thing is certain: the vehicle list with the problematic engines is long.

  • Set service interval.

    Hello, I have already searched half the net and was already at an Opel and Renault workshop, here in the vicinity. But no solution. My Vivaro A, 2010, 2.5l, 140000 km, bought in November last year, goes all 3000 km, without notice into the emergency run. I then reset it again until it goes back to the emergency run after 3000 km. As error is then stored oil dilution. I know this from my Trafic. But this had previously displayed the workshop symbol. At 500 or 1000 km overrun (don’t know exactly) he went into the emergency run. Also with oil thinning in error memory. DP is ok. Short distances are not driven either. I drove already 12000 km within the year. When reset appears quite briefly 3000 in the display. I have already found in the DDT a few adjustment fields with some service specifications in the dashboard control unit. Unfortunately very incomprehensible language. Will also destroy nothing. In the Can Clip and in the Renault Dialogys have I could imagine that in the vehicle this 3000 km requirement was deliberately set, because it is a former service vehicle of Thyssen Krupp. With it you can get the employees who lead the vehicle to drive immediately into the workshop. (Is only such an idea) The question is: Is that so and how can I adjust the requirement differently? ? The last 2 times I was just on the highway than that happened. Don’t be annoying if this thing just goes into the emergency run when it overtakes.
