  • Engine gets pretty warm with my manta ! normal ?

    Hello , I have a Manta B with a 2.0 l Gsi engine (original) . Since it is getting warmer now I always have a small problem . I think this is not normal . Normal operating temperature is yes if the water temperature indicator shows straight up ( unfortunately has no degree indicator ) . If I now eg a longer distance ( from about 20 km) with so 130 to 160 then the temperature goes strongly into the red area . only a bit further from the maximum . This also occurs a uf if the car stands longer with running motor. all this is at 20 degrees outside temperature and is of course even stronger at 35 degrees. cool liquid is brim full. the cooler itself was repaired once because it lost some water (which he now does not do anymore) . is that normal ? I mean if I drive there now times 100 km at the piece I would have already thought about the temperature.

  • Purchase advice Calibra!

    Hello guys! I know I’m not one of you, because I’m actually at the Honda Forum and I’m driving my own Honda, but I have to get a Calibra… unfortunately I don’t know what the technique of Calibras is and I don’t know what kind of shit the box is doing after the years.. I thought I’d get one as a second car for everyday life and my Civic VTEC for the more beautiful days.. (hope some people don’t get that wrong now) .. the Calibra I like in itself w I found one in the area today in Turki’s first registration /1993, 108Tkm, lowered, low-bed rims… has just some flaws of the car, because the shock bar is scratched in the back and the rear light has slightly broken and the higher brake discs look like raped.. he wants 2900Euro for it… otherwise the car seems actually quite ok… but what do you say at this price and what should I consider for weaknesses of the Calis.. (Cyclings are stainless free) … how much does it cost in Euro2 a year on taxes? would be really very grateful for a few tips and what you think of it price-performance ratio considered! Thank you in advance greeting VTEC-STGT

  • Heater Omega A defective

    Hi… My fan from the heater is broken, which is of course RIGHT uncool in this weather. Should I rather remove my dashboard, or is there a chance to get out of the engine compartment??? Had the old developed when I threw out the old engine. That was also nice and easy…

  • Optimum car for such 1.5 to 2 mille..??

    Now what it’s about,I’m sorry for off-topics…But now that I’m still writing here, I just wanted to know from you, which car you would take for 1.5 to 2 mille…Not for me,but my girlfriend is looking for a well-preserved car for this sum….where the price-performance ratio and of course the quality are right… .Until long she had been driving for 5 years, getting a little Ford Fiesta GFJ Bj 9.93,technically and optically. It’s also perfect… (sold it for 950 Eur, if an intress should have, always report..) but as I said, 50 Ps never cut you off after a time..because she’s fit again in traffic.. she just wants more.. Well, I would recommend a Golf 3 so around Bj 95,they have Airbag,ABS…mi 75 PS…possibly a model mi Servo..and Colour that you should get after all…In golf the rust precaution is correct, an Astra is just more critical in my eyes…. But tell me why I’m asking you here…what would you do,which model would you recommend…thanks to mfg

  • Calibra Bj. 1991

    Hi guys, I bought a Calibra Bj. 91 yesterday. To the car: Well it looks like NEW! Very well maintained, and the previous owner was from BJ 1934… 1st hand. The car is checkbook maintained..and I have a folder receipts … the grandpa even had everything done nice at Opel like e.g.: brake system, coupling, cooler and new tires lol everything always nice at Opel…. So I thought I could not do anything wrong to buy it… engine is also dry, now I only have a problem… m…It starts with rusting fortunately only in one place. Back at the wheel running on one side… Not much you can see it hardly just to prevent what should I do? I once heard the spatling and that does nothing!? Where should I have it eliminated? In a free or Opel direct? How high are the costs in about?? Ohso for the Cali I paid 1.990€ for it but with one year guarantee!!! Thank you very much for many answers!

  • My 2.5V6 or 3.0V6 automatic ??? Help

    2.5V6 or 3.0V6 automatic ? Who has better acceleration ? Hi guys, I count myself to the exquisite circle that loves its Omega above all . But 170 hp of my Omega 2.5V6 have become a little too little to me . I could now get cheap a 3.0V6 automatic BJ 2001. Have your experience with the car . My main problem is , I drive very sporty and worry that I am faster with a 2.5V6 in the suit than stop the car with automatic transmission . Was never a friend of A utomatics, but the 3.0V6 is so beautiful πŸ™‚ Besides, I have something to do again, exhaust, rims, etc. As I said, I have to decide Monday. What do you mean. My baby or n 3.0V6 ? A few BMWs still annoy me too often πŸ™‚ So the 3.0V6 has a really good suit because of its 210 hp ? Your Olli, help me πŸ™ so that I can laugh again *g* )

  • Braided disks despite automatic air conditioning

    My Omega 2.0 Limo with automatic climate control, always fog the windows when it rains outside or it’s a bit colder! That can’t be normal! Opel told me to read the operating instructions properly, is a cheeky thing! Do you also have these problems with rain???

  • help automatic propleme sein motor conversion

    hello, I have an omega a 2,6 cd diamond automatic until recently the car ran without propleme also the automatic switched perfectly!! unfortunately the engine had to be replaced since it came to very strong smoke development. we used in the car again a 2,6 which also wonderfully clapped I have to say that the motor comes from a car with switch gear after 50km drive the automatic started spinning temporarily the first gear does not go in or the s starts to b left when pressing the kickdown. we couldn’t make a rhyme from where or why that came now especially because the automatic before did not make a propleme now well we decided to change the gearbox at first it had the appearance that it had brought something but after 40km I had the same proplem again. I’ve already made myself smart about what that can be but so far I’m not going any further because I can’t get the old engine anymore Since he went straight to the scrap I finally got as help: you had to get out how many teeth were on the V-belt disc (below the crankshaft) of the original motor (unless it was rebuilt) and compare them with the number of teeth on the new disc. Furthermore, the sensor that hangs under the teeth should have about the same distance to the pinion and have about the same appearance. who can help me there further or who drives still a n omega a 2,6 automatic which can count for a short time the number of teeth so that I can check them with my times. there are also other ideas that could help me in advance thank you for the help
