  • 1.6l 71ps Built 1995 Clackers as soon as you start the engine…Help?

    Hello dear MotorTalk community, I have an Opel Astra F cc 1.6l 71ps build year 1995 and the following problem: – As soon as I start the engine, a dark clacking starts which probably comes from the hydro thrusts because the clacking comes from above. We have changed the hydro thrusts, the timing belt, wedgery shirts and both tooth.-Ceilriehmenspanrolle, oil pump also. After everything has been changed, a new clacker, actually a brighter louder clacking also came from above (with the hydro thrusts) n) “Perhaps an oil pipe is clogged and a hydro shock can’t pull enough oil out of it? If yes, is it expensive to fix this problem?” Do you have any tips that can help me? I was with the car at a workshop that said it came from the hydro shocks although these changes were made… To fix this are several costs due, and since the dare is already older, it is not of sense to spend more money for the repair Do you have any ideas? Would you like to keep the car and not let it die? Workshop: Cars can be driven, but will eventually give up the spirit. Help? (: Thank you MfG Marco L.

  • Used car purchase Astra engine goes off-

    Hello I intend to buy an Opel Astra Caravan 1.6 for my daughter. Is EZ 10/2005, about 60,000 km. The car has a problem, according to the seller the engine goes off as soon as it is warm, so after about 10 minutes. After a short time he should get started again, but then again and again go out. Have looked at the car so far only briefly. In cold condition it starts, runs calmly and has no problems. I then did the thing with gas and brake and in the day kil meter counters were displayed 12 errors, I could not remember all of them now. But were among other things 20100 to 20400 (o.ä) errors were probably searched but not found. The car has an additional LPG system and is due to the defect clearly cheaper than an equivalent model that is ok. The car also goes out in petrol operation, so has nothing specifically to do with the gas system. My question is whether you should buy the car and what the most expensive assuming e damage would be.

  • C20NE bushings

    Greetings, engine of the Ascona 2.0i Kat in Kadett D, two weeks ago a cooler hose burst on the highway (premiere, my first after 20 years of driving). Tow truck, Werstatt etc., is now standing somewhere near Magdeburg. The mechanic meant because a clogged heating cooler (flow, pressure rise etc.), now he took his head down because the cylinder head seal was also through, despite immediate shutdown, and thinks: the barrel boxes must have a sharp ridge above n, but there is a radius (i.e. turning point of the piston OT), it can reassemble the engine, however, would be only a matter of time until it flies apart again. He recommends engine overhaul for around 2000€. Boah! Luckily I sat. Because the previous owner had an engine overhaul carried out, so not 800km, which I actually paid for when buying. Unfortunately again without invoice. I ask for opinions about the running bushings, why is the edge shape a problem? The piston lä What are some of the suggestions? A replacement engine would probably have similar wears and unknown km … If I had the engine done, what should be taken care of by type (note to the mechanic), what can I do if it has already been dismantled (crank shaft bearings in the same way or only insert the cam shaft from the sound so). Thanks and greeting, tata3

  • Help! My left front tire’s smoke!

    I just drove with my Omega A on the Autobahr! Suddenly the vehicle started to flutter on a straight track (I didn’t brake!!!) and it smelled funny! I immediately went down the next descent to a gas station and looked at the malleur! The left brake caliper (I think) squeaked and it smelled awful! What can that be? I covered about 10 KM until that happened! After about 5 minutes waiting the torment stopped and I drove carefully! rn was gone and I was only 5 km away from the finish! When I turned off the car, I looked again and it smelled funny again! But hardly any smoke! What can I do! Did the car stand there now and want to look tomorrow in the bright! WHO HAS A TIP!!! How can I get my Ommi back to speed! Oh yes! He stood about 10 days, without being moved! Can that be because of it? Rubbers were 3 months ago (When I raised the winter tires,) still OK! Otherwise also Never had problems with the brake! Please help me! I am grateful for every tip!

  • Control chain skips U25DT and X25DT

    Once again I… Found my problem at the U25DT. The steering chain skipped and probably on the steering wheels on the ESP. I adjusted the steering times. The start of the conveyor was adjusted by 2mm when the synthtom entered (engine runs at once unround, smokes black and then no longer jumps on), the standard is 0,90mm. At the start of the conveyor I can no longer reach the standard and by turning back of the engine I clearly noticed how the steering chain ÜB ERSPRINGT. Oh yes, chain tensioner is also ok. I have experienced this problem with both Omega’s also X25DT from Km 220.000. Thank you BMW!!! Has someone from you already had the same experience? Greetings Karl

  • Kat empty= Power loss or increase?

    Hello Opel friends, I finally got to put down a flap in the exhaust system of my E-record, at least I tried it. The clattering sounded very suspicious to KAT; so once the good piece was unscrewed and I still got a whole 2 chunks of coal against it. The rest seems to be stuck in the middle silencer. So MSD has to be new, no question but what does the KAT look like? It is an old village tuner legend that the power/motor run without KAT And one even said to me that it should even be possible with a properly adjusted engine and working Lambda probe to pass the AU without KAT. What about it? I don’t need any advice about possible legal consequences, I know it is tax evasion and not an environmental price suspect ;-). But if it is already empty….

  • C20XE is drained when giving off gas.

    Hi, have the problem that my engine suddenly went out with the gas in the second gear (without mucking before, from now on immediately). He also did not jump again for the first time. When he jumped again he ran in the stand gas nicely round ond also toured with a little gas (also to the limiter if you wanted), but if you have pulled up the gas tap now no matter in which speed range he tosssed off without faults and without jerking ignitions or the like. Motor c20xe from Calibra In the cadet E, 2.5 motronic. Since the engine should be made anyway with its mileage, since the oil pump was slowly going to say goodbye, I quickly installed another one. Problem is the error has remained there. I have already tested all parts that in some way influence the engine in its run, exchanged and everything that is installed and was tested in a 2nd vehicle. Tech1 says everything nice, just like the 2nd Fzg. the problem is that the engine is now I have tried everything that you gleube I can try by now Hangs it on the canister since I finally suspected the fuel, but it wasn’t. So now he gets so much spits that he strangles if he still ran and meanwhile directly drains. so now to the finished work: 1 simply everything measured with wire harness under load, all encoders, gasoline history etc. 2 steurzeiten tested, everything is true flammable funk e is also on time and also quite painful xd 3 motor wire harness separated from the carros series wire harness and run without it and also the wire harness already exchanged (vorischtsahlber, man nie kein) so I tried everything that came to mind and what if you despair is also so everything in the head. Until now nobody could help me (no lay). I am so crazy tip thankable for every still so reasonable since I think with reason and logical MfG Atze is no longer able to move on to the engine at the moment.

Or what do you think of repair ? Would I have about statement kräfti ge Reply happy, Greeting, Benni
