  • Rugging at X12XE

    I know there are already some issues about this problem, but they do not help me any further. I hope there is someone here who still has an idea. Problem: 1 Idle with warm engine 2 The speed after starting (cold engine) slightly exceeds 2000 and remains there for about 30 sec. was replaced: Ignition unit LMM AGR Lambdasonde throttle valve was cleaned and the air collector and hoses also. (The small hose from the valve lid goes on a plastic stub that is to be installed?!) Motorle MKL does not shine! I hope someone can help me further, so slowly it becomes expensive to exchange things for good luck. I also don’t think of any more.

  • Bio-Ethanol (E85) and Opel engines

    Hello in general I wanted to ask how it looks like with organic ethanol. Especially with the Z22SE. Saab already offers some models, which can be operated with petrol and organic ethanol. Must something be changed on the engine? If yes, what? MfG W!ldsau

  • 82PS DI engine no longer starts

    The engine now has just 100,000km down. Although the glow plugs were changed at 80,000 the last time and also regularly the diesel filter was renewed – the engine does not start any more. My FOH has connected its clever device could not find a Felhler message. He said with diesel engines a injection pump error would not be indicated. After 3-hour troubleshooting the master – the injection pump must be replaced against a NEW -. Costs for this with E 2.350,- Euro – if nothing else is added. If someone knows – it can also be something else – or is it really the pump and this really is TEUER. The FOH could not even tell me if it is a Bosch pump or another. One could not check this also – only change against a NEW – the ALTE – should be disposed of but the first has to be removed so that a NEW one can be ordered there are about 10 different pumps the Can someone help me or give me a tip. Thank you very much in advance.

  • Performance increase X16SZ(R)

    Hello, so the 1.6 8 valve is supposed to be a very robust engine. But what about power increases with it? Will the lifespan be greatly shortened? And which companies offer such a thing for the engine? Have found something from imotec before, but what I read about it here, they are not so grateful for the real would for infos. And please don’t write “Build another engine” etc. MfG Patrick

  • 1.6 16v ??? 75ps ???

    Hi, just had a KAT-total damage. Luckily, he had a guarantee and had him replaced, but now my Astra Z16XE (100hp) no longer has the power he had before. Before the damage he pulled on the A2 mountain from 220 and now I come on the same track only to 185. I also noticed that he only slowly turns up from 5000 revolutions. Otherwise I came quite fast until just before the speed limiter (6400). Can anyone help me further.

  • Omega 2.0 16V – Timing belts torn – Repair or not??? Help!

    Hello guys! I didn’t even have my 95 Omega with 22TKM for a whole month. Today the (almost) worst thing happened to me, which I could only imagine: Motorway drive: I gas on the acceleration strip and off it is….I knew immediately that this must have been the timing belt. Towing costs could at least save me…my dad had free and could take me to the “Stangs”. At the friendly one there was still someone just before work. Got the Omega right there. .. …reperture costs approx. 1700 EUR, he wants to send the Zylindekopf away somehow and have it tested/processed???? Now I have until Monday time to say that I don’t have it done… …then I drove to a “free” Opel dealer, since almost all the small dealers of Georg v. Opel were swallowed here. There are the AWs a little cheaper. This even recommended me a replacement engine. Costs 4500 EUR. Supposedly 95% more is broken on the engine than the cylinder cop f., e.g. warehouse…. …and now? The car is at best still 4000 EUR value. I like to drive it! But would want to invest 1700 EUR only if it still lasts at least 2 years. Exchange engine I can not afford…. Does the car buy me at all with the damage?? If so, what is it worth? Please help me quickly! On Monday I have to decide……

  • afterglow candles for omega 2.5td?

    hello, does this motor have conventional glowing candles that are only active during pre-glowing and are turned off danacsofort? or does this motor have after-glow candles? I think very strongly that this motor has no after-glow candles, but have read that there is a conversion set from beru for it…the corresponding glowing candles and a relay…is there anyone who can supply information about it? gruss support

  • Help, my diesel won’t get warm!!

    Hello, I’ve been driving Opel again for a few months, an Astra 2.0 DI. Was 2 years of service founded unfaithful, a Golf 4 TDI with 90hp. I’m basically more satisfied now, only that the Astra needs instead of the 6 liters of golf nevertheless rather 7 liters. Since the temperatures are now 0 degrees, however, the engine will not be warm any more. I drive for my company 6 times a day 11 kilometers over land, and during the 9 to 11-minute rides the cooling temperature indicator does not jerk. The consumption is now also to 8 liters high although I drive neither highway or city, but only highway with 100km/h in 5th gear. Opel says everything normal. I say the spins, what I drive diesel if I need with 82 hp at 65km still 8 liters a day! The golf used to be also at -15 degrees after 6-7 km warm and did not consume more than 0.3 extra fuel just because outside are 0 degrees. Have changed thermostat -> no difference. 7000 km ago a new LLM came in. I am grateful for every info! Bo
