  • Helpful buys for a Newbie?

    Hello dear ones, I am very fresh here and that only because I intend to exchange my 10 year old Dacia Logan (but drive him for only 3 years) for an Opel Adam from August onwards. Have the upgrade quite necessary and therefore want to inform me in advance, what should be taken into account when buying everything in the hope that someone of you is so nice and can tell of himself Kurz to my ideas: it should be an adam in berry red, preferably with white roof. ung, mp3/usb-port and navi are a must, about everything else can be argued. Have a few vehicles in the visier and will visit the car houses in the beginning/mid juli times. What can you give me as tips about buying? What do I have to pay attention to at the opel? Greet love and thank you for your answers!

  • Sales advice Opel Adam Vorführer

    Hello guys! I finally managed to convince my wife of the Opel Adam So the VW Polo finally comes away and the parking in mind has already worked out for the 2nd time The following 2 we would have in the narrow selection:1.4 GLAM Turquoise or the1,2 GLAM And with the following we made the first test drive last Saturday:GLAM 1,4 dark red The 87 PSige didn’t convince me from the performance, therefore my question whether you notice a difference with the 101 PSigen ?! So from the equipment I find the leather the best, was actually at the beginning no topic, just like the IntelliLink My wife can not yet decide between LED sky and panorama roof….. Which would be your favorite?! What is there still pricey inside?! more than 12,000 we do not want to spend. Thanks already for the answers and dear greetings from Austria

  • Info requirements for the Intellilink 3.0

    Hello, I still have some questions about the above-mentioned IL system, which I have not been able to research exactly so far. My daughter is very much in love with an Adam. For budget reasons it is supposed to become a used one, at the moment one is installed from early 2014 to the choice of the above-mentioned radio. My current questions would be: 1. Which apps are currently available for the IL 3? (Used is an Android) 2. When was the successor R4.0 installed? (is 12/2015 k) orrekt?) 3. You can only use BringGo for navigation in the IL 3? (apparently Opel Mirrorlink didn’t give in?) 4. Except BT the phone doesn’t need cables for the connection? I thank you for informative & constructive answers.

  • Buy Opel Adam used cars despite the end of production?

    Hello all, I have fallen in love with a used Adam today – at least from the equipment and the appearance. I will test him only Thursday. Now I have read that the production will be discontinued next year and wonder what this would mean for a owner. Especially if in 6-7 years defects should occur? Should this play a role in the purchase consideration? If someone wants to give his opinion, this one is up to me:https:// search.mobile.de/…/266289870.html Hope that I can still do something about the price. I’ve read here that he shouldn’t wear so well. Drive about 15,000km and a lot of highway a year. Since I’m currently driving a Peugeot 107 with 68 hp I think that everything attracts more than the I thank you! Kati

  • Cracked in guardrail

    Hello to each other! I’ve already experienced a lot with my Omega, but what happened to me last night on a deserted dark shore road is really awesome. I was traveling in a strange area and had totally lost my way thanks to redirection. So I’m looking for a turning point. When I found this, I slowed down to about 40 km/h and then…then it happened! The omega went out, all the lamps in the amature board lit up, the steering failed, the V Order wheel brakes too, I hastily tore the handbrake up, yes and then I crashed Frontal into the guardrail! The airbag didn’t open, the belt was enough. My first question, what to do now? First a friend called, then the police and after half an hour they came as well. The first question: Did you drink? No I’m always so good at it, even if this isn’t so funny! Nevertheless, first the stupid test was done. Then: Now you explain and then how you do the gemac Did I? I. Then some more forms filled out with and bye! Luckily I could drive home again without any help from anyone. I’m curious what my insurance says on Tuesday. PS: Has something like this ever happened to someone who just runs out of the ride??? What can that be?

  • visco clutch from the fan

    hello, had described the problem here before. but it has gone down somehow. so on a ride last week with caravan the temperature suddenly went into the red area and stayed there. I stopped and looked. it were the already described fuses in front of the engine room through. I have to say, I had the air conditioning all the time. what it is about now, even if the fans of the air conditioning system have failed, he would not have been so hot after all can it be that with me the viscolfan is defective after all? he turns with if the engine is warm so around 90 degrees, but I can hold him with the hand. can it be that he got so hot because I always had the climate on and then suddenly all the fuses flew out or is it the viscolfan I ask because I want to stay in 2 weeks on vacation and then drive over 3t km with caravan. have no desire with defective motor anywhere to stay in the pamoas. hope a uf a few good tips. Greetings blues ( achim)

  • Engine error – vehicle jerks

    Hello, I had the following problem last night. After about 25 km of driving distance, the reporting engine error lit up in the Borcomputer and in the Tacho a red stop symbol. The vehicle jerked very much and did not accelerate anymore. I drove right and turned off the car. After a short break I restarted the vehicle and everything was back to normal. Also this morning on my 20 km long drive to work everything was ok. Has someone an idea and experience w The timing belt was changed 15,000 km ago.

  • Grandland X Ultimate with AHK EZ:02-2020

    Hello, I was able to sell my Grandland X to a dealer on 31.01.2025. I ruled out a private sale because I had a bad conscience to sell this “car” to privately. I learned in the years to identify the engine in case of problems, 3-5 min to wait, then it went again. Error memory was always empty. In 45 years this is not initially such a vulnerable car. I drove an ASTRA J and K before this Grandland, great and problem-free cars, from 7 f On the purchase I was offered only a Grandland X in basic version for test drive, I now know why. Whether he ran out of engine on the motorway at speed 100 KM/H due to engine problems or I could not open the car anymore, then the topic oil and timing belts and the topic AHK socket was too much for me. I must be able to rely on the car. Therefore I was very glad that a dealer bought with this vehicle and I bought a new car. I’ll say goodbye to the Grandland Forum and pick up my new NON-OPEL tomorrow.

  • Grandland 1.5d rattles, clatters at cold start

    Hello Grandland X driver, have since March this year bought a Grandland X 1.5 Turbo D,130hp, Ez 5.2020, with just under 17tkm. Since then I have had some problems which have been removed after several workshop visits, e.g. A column coverings, timing belt exchange ink water pump due to roaring noises etc. Now for a few days I have noticed when outside is 0 degrees or colder, when starting the engine has hard start process, but then knocks properly when jumping. If he is starting up, 0,xx seconds later RASSES he would say for about 0.5seconds and then is gone. First oil change was made when the car had just under 17tkm, then I drained all about 10tkm of oil and refilled it.Do something like this because I don’t want to drive 30tkm with the same oil. Now the car has 42tkm. What could that be, chain of camshafts? Are there any problems? Has anyone had such a problem?
