Hi! I’m pretty new here and now as a second car I bought a Kadett GSi 16V. I only have no experience with the engines and wanted to ask what your all so on the Km-buckel have. I am interested in the possible life expectancy of the engines. For information I thank in advance. Greeting Dennis

Hello, I still have the original 1.7S with 75hp in my 1971 C record. That was always good for me. Although no racing car 😉 but ran prma and reliable, I drive the car all year round. Now I unfortunately have a camshaft damage after a longer motorway ride and need a new engine. So far – a 2.0S (from D or E record) with suction bridge and carburetor (I think Zenith) – a 2.4E (from Opel Frontera) with injection system and ECU , but not a wire harness. Since I have an H license plate I have to do something H compliant, so rather something with carburetor. What would you suggest what can I do? I have little experience with motors to/from, but am a good mechanic. Thanks for all the answers!!!

Hello all together have a somewhat questionable project before and I have been looking for a very long transmission. So I found the F16W355 so F16 gears (Is longer than the F28 6 gears) but I don’t know how much power or torque the gears can withstand?! (It should fit… as a “Big Block” Opel gears, right?) maybe someone from you has experience… with “bitsl” more power on such a gears Greeting

Hello, since recently my Z20LET from my Astra consumes a lot of cooling water. However, only if I drive faster than 120 km/h. I stay under it the consumption is almost zero. Have straight the system subjected to a visual test, from there is also no crack o.ä. to determine. Does anyone have an idea? Greeting

Hello I am with my ideas at the end I have here a C24ne which builds on the cooling system very strong pressure on have made CO test in the balancing tank which was negative has no water in the oil or oil in the water cooler I have already aired several times but without success. Maybe someone still has an idea !

Hello, I just overtake my engine because he needed water, I noticed small cracks, they certainly have nothing to do with the water structure, but still would like to know if the cracks are bad… Have a photo attached Mfg

Hello, I have a question. I drive an Opel Vectra B, 96, engine code X18XE, KM 77000 KM. Unfortunately, it disassembled the cylinder head seal. A water channel is inward into the combustion chamber. Now I can let my question plan the head or does not work with it. My mechanic told me that you can no longer plan every head and the X18xe is probably one of them. Could one of them help me since a new one is quite expensive. With a used one I can I’m not sure if he’s still there. mfg Asco01

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.

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

I would be interested to know which experiences one of you has had with tuning companies. Which tuner is the best in price, performance and service?
