  • Driving report Adam 1.0 115PS

    Hi, yesterday I had the opportunity to test the new engine. A short impression: I had my last three-cylinder experience in the Corsa C, all the more astonished I was about the quietness of the running. Until 4000 revolutions the engine runs very calmly first you hear the three-cylinder growl almost sporty. To swim with the normal one you actually never need to turn over 2500. However, the motörchen does not resist high speeds and rewards itself when turning out with an extra punch from approx. 4500 revolutions. On the highway you can comfortably swim with 160. When the track was free the digital tacho stopped at 207. The average consumption on the 75 kilometers has slipped in with 6.7 liters given that I have often tried out the full speed band I think in order. The only thing where I had to get used to was the noise when the engine started running again after the amp. Here you notice at the first moment the missing 4 cylinder. Conclusion: Finally the Adam gets the engine he long deserved: splashy, fun and at that time too.

  • Adam Rock’s Presentation

    Good evening together Today I looked at the new Adam Rocks, you sit higher in any case and overall he looks harmoniously from only the presentation reads very much to be desired the employees at the dealer have enjoyed themselves at the buffet and left the customers alone and also no questions beantortet, trial drives were also not offered, and that car itself stood in the backmost dark corner in the load. So all in all not very successful. Afterwards I was still at BMW and looked at the 2er Active Tourer and there everything was different all questions were answered competently and in detail. How was the presentation with you??????? Many greetings Thommy

  • Adam or Corsa?

    Hello together, after a few years without a car it should become with me now again an Opel – I am only not sure which one. To the selection are 2 annual cars at the same price – 1 x Opel Adam Jam (69 hp), 1x Opel Corsa Color Edition (101 hp). Both cars are very similar from the equipment – the Adam has a less on the tacho (7,000 km, Corsa 22,000 km), but has the Corsa sports suspension and parking aid. Any tips? The car is especially for the city traffic – but again and again has to be briefly on the highway. However, you should (rarely) survive a longer motorway route (600 km to the home).

  • Opel Adam error code P0118 – Engine cooling water temperature too high input

    Hello everyone. This is my first post, so forgive me for missing information and like to ask. I have a problem with my girlfriend’s Opel Adam. It’s the 1.4 with 87 hp (Z16XE). In addition to the code 89 displayed in the on-board computer, the radiator fan runs at the highest level as soon as the engine is switched on or the code appears in the AI until the ignition is switched off. I have already checked a lot and am now at a loss. I have used a simple ELM327. I have already checked the following. I have carried out the measurements both on the sensor on the thermostat and on the cooler. – Visual inspection of the plugs, pins and wires of sensors and ECU for damage or similar – Resistance of the coolant sensors at ambient temperature (25°C) and operating temperature (80 °C). For comparison I have taken a new sensor. 55591401 from Febi/Bilstein) -> Plausible values and small deviations – New Senso – Power supply sensors ~4,99 V – Short circuit between signal circuit and power supply B+ checked. – Through measurement between sensor plug and ECU (both lines <2,0 Ohm) - Through measurement between both lines to exclude short circuit. I changed the coolant about 3 months ago and aired the system. Therefore, I exclude air inclusions. However, I would have this often you The cooling water is not completely clean. But therefore the error m.M.n. should not come. Please correct me if I am wrong. Does the sensor on the engine give the signal to the AI and the one on the cooler is responsible for the engine control or what is it like? Maybe I should focus on the sensor on the cooler again.. I really don't know any more. I don't think the ECU is defective, but I don't know what else to check. Therefore my Anmeld Thank you for your help.

  • Oil pressure to stop low engine immediately. Error P0011

    Moin had an event enough Sunday. I only helped a buddy in a move and on the way back my wife calls me and says she can just be towed from ADAC to the next stop for 350€ because her Opel would be loud and the error message oil pressure came off low immediately engine. So we went to the rest area and towed her 60 km home. At home I immediately put the OBD on it. And it came the error message P0011 Timing camshaft. So briefly read and it seems What only worries me is that it also makes extremely loud noises. Can something be broken now. What makes it worse? She had immediately turned out the vehicle. Did you already have problems or experiences with it?

  • New tire learning: menu item not available / not callable

    When changing to winter tyres, the menu item for learning is not available. If you call up the tyre pressure indicator, only strokes are displayed for all four wheels. When pressing the reset button on the left steering wheel switch, nothing happens (even after 1min). However, the reset button works in all other menus. In this attempt, the ignition is switched on, the circuit is in idle, the hand brake is tightened. We have played around with all these switches, the Menu item doesn’t come. See photo. Of course we didn’t want it to be true that it’s on the menu, so we also tried the following: – Activating the sensors using an activation box does not bring any change – A nearby summer tire is shown again after activation – driving around 20km with over 40km/h does not bring any change – the question whether the tires at all answer to the activation is clearly with yes to answer, you can answer the signal listen to the radio frequency 433,92MHz – yes, send the tire sensors It seems to have nothing to do with the activation of the sensors, it is only not possible in the tire pressure indicator to reset the learned tires.What do we do wrong? How can one reset the learned tires? Thank you and always good ride Volker
