  • Are there any Opel Karl owners here?

    Hello guys, I drove the Opel Karl test last week and ordered it right away :-). Is there any more here that are currently waiting for their Karl? My dealer gave me the KW39 as delivery date, but usually he should be there 2 weeks earlier – let’s see? glg, Michael

  • [Karl]: FOH waiting room and order thread

    We ordered our KARL on Wednesday. Full cabin (was manageable) and at a good price incl. 3 years warranty extension. Are very curious, because one buys the car so to speak blind. The engine should run quite cultivated and in the end it should look like on the only brochure/poster (red with 16er aluminium wheels, chrome clips on Neblers etc.). According to our FOH it will probably be nothing before the end of August. Hope, the Koreans make limp

  • Gear damage 4 years old Agila

    Hello everyone… My Opel has been making quite mysterious noises at undertouring speeds for about 3 months now, it was such a quiet flickering (especially if it wasn’t warm yet). I had it checked by the contract workshop and a friend. Diagnosis: 80% gear damage (possibly even additional clutch). Can that be? After 4 years? I find more than outrageous from Opel… What does a new gearbox cost and can you not do something about it? S before it actually does not pay a fortune after 4 years.. Many thanks and greetings Katja

  • Spare parts problem: cable pull for Opel Agila B no longer available/available

    Hello, I am not a car specialist, but hope to find help here: My Opel Agila B, BJ 2003, 1.0, 50kW, was towed last week and is now standing with torn rope hoists in the workshop. According to the workshop this is the GM part number: 95514679 The workshop has requested from Opel, the originals are no longer available, and also alternatively on other car parts pages, ebay etc. the spare part is not available anywhere. The workshop has therefore registered today and I was told that nothing was possible and that the car could not be repaired due to a missing spare part. Since it hurts me to scrap a car that actually still drives, and only a 200 Euro component is missing, I didn’t want to leave anything unoccupied and signed up here in the forum. Is there still an idea here how to get to this spare part? I am not a car expert, but the Suzuki Splash is for example very similar to the construction? Does anyone know if you can get here if necessary. alternatively on rope hoists of the Suzuki Splash could fall back? Thank you for your help!

  • Not a proper middle position Steering Agila B

    Hello together We’ve been driving a Agila B Bj 09 for about 3 months. A smart car, also the three-cylinder makes fun. Only the steering is a bit funny. If I drive around a slight curve, then I have to turn the steering wheel myself into the “straight” position. With a stronger steering impact, the steering does not go back completely when I let go of the steering wheel. Then there is a half steering impact missing. It’s hard to explain, but what I mean is the following: half turn and the steering is left or right and the steering is still like this. Car then continues to drive around the turn with the wheel released. Can’t be normal? Can’t???? There are certainly other Agila drivers who can help me. Thank you in advance.

  • once again: Start problems, this time after battery was emptied

    Hello guys, after my AGILA A Z10XEP has been standing for a long time and the battery was completely empty, he didn’t jump on any more, despite new charging and also exchange of the battery (although only 1 year old, but rather deep discharge). At the very first start attempt he ran very briefly, but then died off. When the ignition was switched on, it clacked at the beginning from the throttle valve unit and the control lights flashed in the same clock. Petrol pump did not buzz. So Pump relay removed and bridged: Gasoline pump buzzes. Relay checked: works. Ignition without relay: absolutely mute, no clacking and no buzzing. Relay again: when ignition is in, it remains mute. Tryed with spare key, same result. Diagnosis memory read out: no error stored. I think I already had it all, but can’t remember how I fixed it. The contact problem with the speedometer as with the Corsa is not with the car, who Can this be related to the unloaded battery or a random error as it often occurs in combination?

  • Agila A AGR valve

    Again – now in the right forum, I would like to apologize for the first mistake… so again.. Hello, with my agila a lights up and extinguishes the mkl sporadically, in damp weather more. Error selection says agr valve. My question, can you change it as not profi itself and must the cool water out for that? Thank you! For this Klemmi1997 already wrote: Quotation: Klemmi1997 Klemmi1997 Seat @lupo44 I mean that he does not have an AGR cooler. Yes you can change it yourself. Then remove the 2 to 3 screws and plug the plug off and remove the AGR including seal. Then clean the installation point with brake cleaner and clean it. Use the new seal on it and if available use the new screws and screw them down. Then reconnect the plug and turn on the ignition for 30 sec. And turn off again for 20 sec. Then start the engine. And you ended up in the Opel Adam Forum. Greeting Klemmi1997

  • Problems after tank replacement

    The Opel Agila first registration 2005, 59KW petroler has a problem: the tank was replaced 1 year ago, after that it slowly started to “spin” – i.e. when refueling the fuel came back again and again, even if the tank was quite empty and after some time another problem came up: There and again it does not absorb any gas, occasionally the engine also dies off. Apparently the problem occurs only with warm engine and warm / hot outside temperature.. In cool weather. Also the e Fuel display has their problems again.. The technician seems to be at a loss at the moment, especially since the problem has not yet occurred with him… or the leakage of the fuel has to do with the “ventilation”… But he will look at this again next week..

  • Some problems with Agila B

    Hello, I brought my Agila B into the workshop a lot of annoying!!!
