  • Pay bill or bill ???

    Hello! I was recently at the friendly and had my door catcher fixed. The accepting workshop master told me that the invoice would be taken over by Opel 100% on Kulanz because my car is still younger than 6 years old and I agreed. But to have a “kept” checkbook, I had another inspection done (they want to live too). Well, three days I could pick up my car and another master told me that from Opel they would pay for the replacement. I didn’t get it back because my car drove over 100tkm, so I had to pay the bill of about 250 Eu. I didn’t believe them at first, and I told the master to talk to his boss, who has a closed opinion. After that you know more. And today I had the bill in my mailbox. Do I have to pay it now???? I only had it repaired because I thought it was on Kulanz, every free worksman att would have made it cheaper if I had wanted to repair it at all. Besides, I never signed an order about it, or received a cost estimate. What should I do now, I have a bill and 5 days to pay, but somehow I feel betrayed. I can’t pay if they can’t find out correctly. Do you have some behavioral tips??? Would be really grateful for all the information.

  • Temperature 2.5TD

    Hello ! Is this normal that the temperature at the 2.5TD is always between 75-78 degrees. Only at full gas 1 hour BAB it comes up to cca. 85. After 2 min. idle it is again at 78.

  • Stabilizers defective or crossbars?

    Hello girls and boys! In January I got a Opel Omega 2.0 16V (purchased, because last car (fiesta) total damage) with approx. 95000 km Built. 8/98 with bla and text as equipment etc… I am quite happy with the car. But one thing is not for me: At a speed of approx. 70-90km/h the steering wheel wobbles as if one could think the car falls apart. From approx. 90km/h the wobble then disappears again and comes back only at approx. 140km/h and then disappears I had new winter tires put on new rims, and the wobble is not gone… I asked Jeztz what could be all this, and I got a lot of different answers: first it is the axles, then the stabis and then the crossbars and and and and… Now I thought, people from the forum know that! I hope!! Oh yes, and what else: is it normal when I go on the gas and the omega (e.g. on the aut) And that: If the engine is cold, that then a whole while sounds like a mixer with problems? That was it again from me, I would be glad for every help greeting mike 69

  • Tips & Help with Radio Conversion

    Hello my name is Antje, I bought me a Opel omega MV6 Bj 1995 a few weeks ago and am satisfied with only two little things but here I need professional advice. Would the radio like to replace with a new one and there I have heard really terrible things!?! So the old radio was a basic and the new one is the blue point DAB-53, ask the professionals for advice. By the way, with the old radio the date on the board computer has always disappeared and you had to always the Zün Can you handle it??? Need a woman-friendly explanation because I’ll try it for the first time! Then I’d like to replace the series boxes with others what can I recommend which system and what do I have to observe, what is recommended for this vehicle! Thanks, Antje

  • Omega B – Dropouts in rain/wet

    In case of heavy rains (even after washing system with underfloor wash) and correspondingly wet road my Omega gives up the spirit (Omega B, Bj.98, 2.0, 16V, X20XEV). Sounds like 3 cylinders. No more proper acceleration and jerks when giving the gas. The instrument pointers spin for a short time. All needles dance up and down! Last time I was made friendly by the ADAC. When the morning started everything was good again. The master was himself but sure (100% motor electronics) that an additional mass band (motor body) can help. But did it not!! In the last rain the same thing, but then drove mercilessly and after approx. 200km everything away again. Maybe someone has a tip for me. THANK YOU! PS: Motronic lamp lights up – error code: Lambdasonde is broken. Does this perhaps have something to do with it?

  • Z19DTH – Post-injection Understanding question

    I asked the question already in the Vectra-C forum, but so far I have not received an answer to it (link to thread ) From a commonrail technique book I could actually only read out so much that a re-injection takes place only when a regeneration cycle of the DPF is initiated. An employee of a technical hotline said however, that there are also diesel engines, which carry out a re-injection under “normal” conditions. I had the latest engine management software installed by Opel. AGR, differential pressure sensor, charging pressure control valve were replaced, and the charging pressure sensor was cleaned. However, with a borrowed Gutmann tester I could observe the following values: 8mm3/Hub in idle mode and 60-70mm3/Hub in load mode without gl of course, if this is normal. Based on the fuel consumption, I would tap on something that is related to the DPF. But it actually looks quite good or the loading condition of the DPF changes regularly according to the tester, and according to the display about all 800km is burned free. What surprised me, however, is that the differential pressure showed no matter which loading condition -19mbar (60% loading u.a.) However, the sensor was replaced half a year ago, and the cables were checked for leak/permeability – all in all MfG eyewitnesses

  • ??? Cable harnesses, immobilizer engine dynamometer ???

    Moin moin, have installed a Z18XE Bj. 2004 from an astra G on an engine test bench. The engine itself is almost completely wired. Need now the or the harnesses to connect the gas poti and the gasoline pump. with Opel itself can unfortunately not help me without order number, because they apparently cannot recognize the individual connections and the exact course of the program. Can someone tell me which wiring harness they are hanging on? order too many of them because they are quite expensive:-( How does the immobilizer work?? it only turns off the petrol pump, or also the ignition?? Can I possibly bypass it somehow?? MfG Alex

  • Search Contact point for purchase Opel Motor 20E

    Servus. I’m looking for an engine for my ’72 Manta A. Built-in/registered is a 20E. advertisement can be found in the market place. But why am I posting here? Who can immediately suggest me a few good contact points? Either on the net or also a workshop of trust? Not necessarily in the Nuremberg room. Because I don’t want to just wait until someone gets in touch, but look for themselves. Would be nice if my skate could be pulled out again this summer! Thank you.

  • c20xe no power

    Got a big problem. But I had an Astra f c20xe was once a 1.6. Would outdated seals, crankshaft sensor, etc. He has compression c.a 13. There are camshafts 264 installed, Friedrich suction bell. Chip. Complete group a and metallkat. installed. That goes well. And today the shock on the test bench. 149ps. What can be that. So what strikes me is when you start it goes very hard and jerks. Ignition plugs of course new and the distributor finger. but I think it’s a trifle. but that she eats so much ps then? Shouldn’t it be 170-180ps with the tuning. I’d be very happy about tips, thank you.

  • Please compare Knnfeld (Images) What do you think is normal?

    Hello. I have here sometimes 2 characteristic fields for an Opel Astra F…8V engine. So if now not everything deceives me a field for ignition should actually look like the “Knntfeld tuning”… Since the ignition time/angle before OT the higher the speed and higher/larger the gas position “MAP sensor” (shown in mPA in the coordinate system) should become ever larger … so from drastically speaking about 5° before OT at idle and up to approx. 40-50° at high speed and full gas position (should e In short, the ignition angle would have to rise at more speed and load. In the diagram from the bottom left, go in the direction of the top right at the back. real, however, was the kenn field as shown in “Knnfeld original…” hmmm… that would be just a big one by each other…times more times less… no system behind it at all. What do you mean? And how should I program d Amit there comes in something system. Original are at about 4000U/min and almost full load times 2degrees before OT and with a little less load equal to 40degrees and same load position…something is wrong.
