  • 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?

  • [Help] Corsa A 1,4

  • Do I have to change the timing belt?

    Hi, have I read previously articles that the C20NE should be a freewheeler. Is that true? Now to my question: Soon I would have to change my timing belt, because of the 5 years time interval. Since the C20NE is supposed to be a freewheeler, should there be nothing happening there, or? Wouldn’t it then simply be possible to drive around with the car for so long, until the belt then snaps at some point and I let it change first???? stay and have to be towed by the colleague is already clear to me, but I like to accept that 🙂 mfg David

  • Ignition time adjustment Multec??

    Moin! After a long diagnosis I found out that my E-Kadett (C16NZ) no longer gets the ignition time adjustment richitg baked. If I slowly give gas, he comes with (in the stand). If I give gas quickly or during the ride he starts to jerk. When I flash I noticed that in this case he seems to make the adjustment in the other direction or even nciht! What can this be about??? Have already tried some things/renewed and now doesn’t know any more… Ask for either good tips or a description of exactly how exactly the ignition time adjustment at Multec runs or is regulated… Thank you!

  • C14NZ engine tuning

    Moin, I wanted to know what you can do with the C14NZ and how much it costs and what it does (in terms of performance)? I also read somewhere that you can install cylinder heads from the C16SE or something like that, what fits on/to the engine block (inlet bridges, exhaust manifolds, etc.) and what does that bring? Since I already have the engine there, I want to install it, so no C16NZ or something to install it. … know a side where there is a instruction to change camshafts, manyleic ht equals the C14NZ (possibly with pictures).

  • Coupling problem Calibra with X20XEV and F20

    Hi, because I had a gearbox damage to the Cali a short time ago. Did I throw out the F18 and built in a f20. So I have now original swing plus old clutch. Expression bearing as well as levers of the F18 (with matching sockets because the lever is thicker than the F20). Now to the problem: When assembling it I noticed that I had to adjust the clutch rope so that the pedal has the right position. Unfortunately, the clutch does not separate properly. What could this be about?? Is the clutch cable in the f20 Kürzer as in the f18. What is the difference with the F20 with service flap and normal F18? I always thought they are the same except for the flap. Thanks already for your answers.

  • 2.7 CIH

    Hello guys, have built me a 2.7 Cih with 2.2 head and 296 shaft presses at the time 187 HP. Drive it with a 2.0 LE Jetronik and BMW air volume meter but with the inn life of 2.0 Opel. Think he gets too little fuel top or from the middle of the rotary zalband. Starts at 1900 with 247nm and pinches at 4500 and comes back at 5200. Search a injection system of a car with more displacement without ignite adjustment like our LE Jetronik hurts what comes to mind??? Or does someone already have the 2.4 Motronics at the Old Block brought to run??????? Thanks for the tips LG Joe Ascona B 2,7

  • Bosch test bench – Z18XE lacks performance (!??)

    Hi, was on Friday in the Bosch workshop once due to track and they had there test bench there. After a short consideration I am over there.. Bad thing. Someone stole power from me.. Z18XE, F13CR, EDS Phase 1, E85 with Piggybox (but goes from the speed/acceleration like SP, if not better), 147 Tkm on the clock… Performance : 786 KW . It should be 92 in series and 103 According to EDS. Well, what’s going on there?? danger was something around E20. And Piggybox. However, the P was a little funny, not a blower, on the expression you can see not even the revolutions, but only km/h and kw, not even NM or pressure.. What do you think the result is useful or for the ton? If useful, who stole my performance? At the expression of the funny test bench. Still, that is a freeman with a Bosch test bench, not an original boot service.
