  • Turbomotors

    Hi guys, first of all I want to say that I’m a Newbie. So new here. And now to my question. I’ve heard from many people that turbo engines are getting a defective whitening faster than normal engines. Is there something wrong or not. I’m not going to deal specifically with Opel engines now, but some Opel haters told me because they want to make Opel bad, whereas I’ve already fought back, that the Opel turbo engines only hold about 50tkm and then the turbocharge in the A**** is Can anyone give me any feedback??

  • heat problems Weber carburettor

    Hello, thank you for answering my last question! Recently I have had the following problem: I have made 2,2 CIH with 45 weavers in my manta. You know the problem, that the carburettors are like on a grill over the cracker, and steam bubbles form in the petrol… But with me this takes on so slowly serious mass. If I have driven more than a kilometer and turn off the engine, I can make myself comfortable, the 45min goes not to What’s funny, of course, if you don’t live right next to the gas station… But it’s much worse: after 30 minutes of driving (approx.) the parts are so hot that every traffic light becomes a gamble. My neighborhood almost only knows me with the bonnet waving… I have already wrapped the fan manifold with the heat protection certificate, the carburettors with heat repellent foil, and a hose conducts wind on the carburettor housing. I also attached another sheet metal that the h If I didn’t miss a stupid mistake somewhere, I would come to the result: Weber on CIH: NULL everyday fitness! Did any of you already have the problems and know advice?? Thank you, david

  • Where does the replacement engine X14XE (1.4 16V) come from?

    With my Opel Corsa 1.4 16V the engine has recently said goodbye, i.e. it no longer runs properly, because the complete engine block is rusty. A general overhaul would not be possible for cost reasons, since I have requested from different workshops. These have given me prices from 2000 to 2500 € each. In this case the engine would have to be removed, taken apart, cleaned or overhauled and reassembled. Therefore I am looking for an address, at which i n could ask for reference to a used engine.

  • Cylinder head C20XE & C20LET equal?

    Hi, I had to get a new cylinder head. Got a C20XE engine without a distributor (I think). Then I bought a used Cossi head from a 16V turbo. I had in my engine tuning camshafts, but unfortunately I can’t find the description of the waves anymore. When I built the shaft on the new head from the turbo, much of the waves can’t be turned on me. Where the individual cams are, there are too big edges in front of the hydropumps. I had to d The previous owner of my engine, who also installed the camshafts, used two identical camshaft wheels (same part number). Therefore, there is something wrong with the markings. Once you can put the wheels in 5 different ways on the shafts (where the wheel is screwed 5 holes which are also labeled) and which is also very funny that the wheels are once a notch On one gear, the marking 8 teeth is removed from the notch. Can’t explain what these yellow markings should be for. So 1st question: Can it be that I need another camshaft with a little less stroke? Then I should not have milled away. Does the turbo have other waves? 2. question: Does the turbo have a different hydropump than the XE? 3. Question: Someone’s idea of what the yellow markings should do?` I thank you in advance

  • Problems with my Vectra 1.6 16V

    My Vectra recently gave strong engine noise. The contract workshop then informed me that the timing belt is about to dissolve. In addition, the water pump would have to be replaced. Finally, I was told that there is no longer a culant in this case. Now my question: – Can this happen after a mileage of 41000 km and a runtime of 3 1/2 years already? – What about the test intervals of 120 tkm? By the way: My car will no longer be r serviced in the contract workshop and repaired all defective things there as well. Can someone give me here some tips on how to augument myself to the plant ?? First of all thank you for this.

  • More power and torque due to SuperPlus at 1.6 16V?

    Hello guys, today SuperPlus has been filling up and imagining that the car is pulling better. I read in the BMW forum that the modern motors with electronics (dynamic knock control or something like that) offer more power and torque with better fuel. Is that true or is that just my idea? How is your experience on this topic? Furthermore, I have the feeling that the engine sounds particularly rough when I am fuelled by jet and noticeably softer when I am fuelled by Aral… have you made similar observations???

  • Vectra 1.6 16V

    Hello, I need help regarding a high oil consumption. I have already had to refill 3.5 l of oil since the last inspection (15,000 km). Underneath the car, however, there is no oil stain! What can this be??? I used to have no measurable consumption. During the inspection, water pump and timing belts were renewed. I don’t know if it is related to the inspection because the car already has 145,000 km on the tacho. I have already after an old one. rnatively looked around because I was told that the engine will probably not last long (I don’t know about it). Since I am otherwise completely satisfied with the car and have also hung in last year 3500 EUR I really do not want to buy a new one. I am grateful for every information!! Experiences regarding the durability of this engine are also welcome. Thank you in advance

  • How long full throttle?

    Hello, I drive with my 1.6 16V quite often fast on the highway. Does one of you know how long one can drive at the unit top speed (…with me Tacho 205 , without harming the engine ??? The tachometer is about at 6000 rpm. Can one drive permanently( 20-30min.) e.g. 160 km/h at approx. 5000 rpm. without risking damage ? Otherwise I am satisfied with the long-distance qualities of my Vectras despite (only) 101 hp. Many greetings to all Opel friends, St.

  • No AU :-((

    Help!!! My cadet gets no more AU!!! Hello, I was friendly, because I need an AU. Well, until now it was not a problem, but just went from a certain speed of the CO values to beyond good and bad. The engine has not been running so nice since about 4000km, unfortunately I did not find the Threat any more. But does not want to repeat everything. They have read out the Multec, and all systems worked according to the mechanic perfectly…. n “Kat broken”, another babbling something of “outlet valve broken”. I assume now that the cat is whole, and it is related to that the engine does not run so perfectly anymore. Someone’s idea what I could change / look at nocxh?
