Hello to each other, for 2 weeks I am proud again owner of a 16V year 91. I am very satisfied with the car and had some luck to get such a well preserved car. At the moment he stands at 182000 Km and runs quite well. Now to my only problem, sometimes he runs out of me in idle. If he is cold, there are no problems, even if he is warm driven, the small one purrs, but when I go out in cold condition and turn out the car on the road after about 3 minutes, d a I go shopping, then he has an idle problem and goes out constantly as soon as I am at a crossing and the clutch kicks the speed into the cellar and it goes out to me. After 5 minutes everything is fine. What could this be about? I heard that it can be on the idle control, looked for something on the internet and found the following for cleaning the Llr: At the C20XE: -Put off hose at the SFI box at the bottom right. -Start engine and hold something on gas, as this s -Ventil cleaner in small sips in the hose tip and let the engine gurgelln. -Don’t scare it Qualmt then something from the exhaust. -Complete bottle slowly empty darewin -Just let something run in idle until it no longer squalmt -Tube again What do you think about the method?

Hello! I’m new here and wanted to ask for some help at once. I am currently playing with my thoughts to get an Opel GT, the prices are sensational I would be interested in what you have experienced with the vehicle. But please don’t start discusions about the trunk now! I’m sorry if there are frequent problems with certain parts or if there are other problems after a few kilometers regularly. I would really like to be here. Thank you for some contributions and especially personal experiences! Thanks already to everyone! Ingo

Hi guys! I come from the “Kadett corner” and would like to buy me a Calibra. my question is, what is to be considered (as a body builder is rust not sooo the problem)? which engine is most recommended (reliability)? I think they are all fast, but he should also keep, since he would be used in everyday life. what can such a car cost? thank you in advance greeting from köln

16v eco-tech hello to all driving a calibra last edition bj 97,136ps,x20xev.120tkm. f18 transmission… I suddenly noticed last week when driving (in the city) a strange clacking in the area of the coupling..Unfortunately the clacking stopped as soon as I gave gas.. also in the push operation the clacking was to be heard despite kicked coupling…in standing and giving gas there is nothing to hear…then I drove the next day to opel…. n…when the gearbox was dismantled, chips were discovered on the main shaft and on the drive wheel!! when they called me the price for a new gearbox, I almost fell off the stool..2500eurons + enbau.. now my question: does anyone have a similar problem? should I install a used gearbox from the scrapter dealer (700euro) without installation! whereby I have my fear that the same problem can recur with the gruesome f18 gearbox.. or should I have my own gearbox overhauled??? Is this a general problem with these f18-powered??I hope someone can help me how to get a low-cost and reliable transmission..is the f20 of the old 16v also suitable?? urgently need help from experts..

Tach people! Urgently need your professional advice. I have been playing a Calibra V6 with the thought for some time. If it is possible and in my budget fits one of the last years of construction. Unfortunately I know myself with vehicles of the brand OPEL, and especially the Calibra not so, since I always only ööööörrrrr…hust*…Volksw…hust…na You know, have driven. Now I have looked at a nice V6 on the weekend / rehearsed, which I discover on the Internet. The car looked like a tip top. Also when looking under the bonnet I could not discover any signs of oil loss or similar. And from the driving feeling, as far as I can judge, everything was fine. The only drop of wormwood on the thing is that the selling price is just above the amount I actually wanted to spend on a Cali. Now again to my question to you: What do you hold the one of the car. Is it worth the purchase price for it? ??? http://www.mobile.de/…/da.pl?… Would be grateful for some helpful advice. Thank you in advance.

So I just wanted to throw a thread here in the round and look and hear how your automobile car started……… last night in a conversation with a buddy, that topic came up and we were digging in the old photo albums….yes and came out of the chuckles never… yes old anecdotes at your beginnings are welcome here too….So let’s go… So and that was my first guess… Let’s remember.. Opel-Ascona C 1,8S Bj 20.4.83 zu di it was only a virgin 150tkm on the clock, in Polarweiss…… All retrofitted what the junk yard offered…..Had later qusie ne full equipment from the Opel shelf Only not one…. ,a cat what was that because………head scratch….schmuntzel, yes, one drove still to the column and tipped Super-leaded in…!!! as long as there was still… .ja he ran and ran…but also quadratically sheet metal went in there….until the TÜV separated us…at least then it was a barrel without ground… yes it’s been a long time, it’s been a good time……… you can look back…….mfg

Moin, it will be more expensive again. Since we are here in a forum for sports coupes and sports coupes also want to be driven sporty, I would be interested where your pain limit lies. From when do you leave the car standing or switch to alternatives? I personally have planned to convert from 1,50 EUR/litre to natural gas. Shouldn’t you give it quite cheap.

Hi to each other. So, I’m a passionate Opel driver and I’m also 100% behind my brand. But I’m so great at the same time, that I represent the attitude: everyone should drive what they want. Whether the VW, BMW, MERCEDES, AUDI or anything else is. That’s a matter of taste. However, I noticed that the most intolerant of all the VWlers are. I sat in my gondola today (that’s from 06.07.- 03.09. my workplace) and carry my OPEL-SHIRT as so often. the queue one with a VW-CLUBSHIRT. How should it be different, he laughs at me crooked from the side. And there’s a lot of me: Do all these trolls have no other counter-argument like: !!!Opel rusts!!! ??? Man o man!!! What’s this shit???? I run through the other side all the time and shout: VW doesn’t rust, but the rest shit. ???? I don’t understand that. What connects us all is not the brand, but the hobby AUTO. And that’s what I think it doesn’t matter, o b rust, or shitty engines or anything. What do you think??? MfG.: Matze
