Hello, since the previous owner no longer drives for age reasons and no one wanted the car from his family. Did he ask her if she wanted the car. Since he could not bear this if the car in the garage gammelt in front of him. He wanted to give it into good hands. Before going into export or slaughter. And so it came to a well-preserved red Opel record (E2) in good stainless condition. The mileage is almost 90000 km. Last Tüv The record is very well maintained from the inside, I can’t say much about the equipment yet. Since I haven’t seen the car in real terms yet. Is the car recommended or worthy of maintenance ??? What about the consumption ? Is this a long-haul limousine ?? What do you generally think about it?? Hope someone can write something!! Because my acquaintances don’t know what to do with it yet. Greetz Stefan

Hi guys, I have an Ascona B with 1.3N OHC engine, which was also installed in the D cadets. For the D cadets there was a suction bridge for this engine to be able to mount solex or possibly weaver double carburetor. I am looking for an expert report or other document for the mentioned suction bridge, such as an assembly instruction or any other information. Who can help me? A friend of mine may have the appropriate bridge but without a document or similar. cke built in ? Please help me, I’m slowly despairing of Irmscher there is no answer or sign of life. Your help should also not be for nothing… Greetings Old Town Bomber

Help ! I was quite obviously on Sunday the 13.03. or Monday, the 14.03. my beautiful 1964 record Coupe in Hamburg GESTOHLEN. A corresponding display is already running. Since it was only partly ready to drive, on the gearbox something has to be done, you could not just drive away with it. So it must have been transported with a tow truck or crane truck. WHER MACHT DEN BITTE SOWAS ? Of this model there are not too many anymore, therefore it should be quite noticeable, if pl I would be eternally grateful if you could tell me about it. Of course, I would be grateful for some successful tips. The car is green with a green interior, original radio etc. Most recently there were white covers on the seats. At the back left is a FC St. Pauli skull sticker on it. Fortunately I have a photo, at:http://www.basis-stpauli.de/bilder/basis/jdmc31-05-03/Jun06-42.jp g Unfortunately, the photo is the only thing left of the car at the moment. I really want it back. If you hear or see anything, please let me know. I’m really desperate. Thank you very much. Best regards from Hamburg Thorsten Bischoff ————————– Thorsten Bischoff Phone: [email protected]

Hi! I drive an Ascona-C 2.0i with G-Kat and now have the following problem… When I accelerate I feel a slight jerking (nothing extreme, but very annoying!), it feels like the car would fall into a power hole again and again when it accelerates. Even with normal rides e.g. at a constant 50Kmh it jerks, even if I don’t speed up. that makes itself most noticeable when driving downhill. I have already replaced the following parts: – all Ignition lines – all spark plugs – Distribution cap – Distribution fingers – Air filter – Gasoline filter I also had the car connected to a tester. The ignition image says that with the ignition everything is ok. Furthermore, a master from Opel told me that it could not be the Lambda probe or the air quantity mixer, otherwise the indicator light would light up and thus a mistake would be made. What can it be about? Can anyone help me? I thank you already in the ahead!

Hello I’m new here, but maybe you can help me.I’m driving a ’73 record-1,7l. because the driving performance is anything but a record suspect I would like to know if it would somehow be possible to help my second best piece to achieve a bit more performance. since I want to let him run this year on h-marks are things like motörchen out and motor pure not possible:-( there are companies that have such a thing or have someone like that–what costs something–what brings-gi bts except weber and solex still other double carburettor for opel???questions about questions how much can I actually pack on it without having to install on brakes etc. I am very grateful for every tip any help!!!!! oh how difficult is it to connect a speedometer ???have one of nem gt and would like to have it with me in-possible?? with best greetings jürsche

so, since I have read a lot here, I have already thought about whether I should step back from the purchase of my vectras. here there are problems that I never had with my bmw or mercedes (not even in the worst presentations). well, I thought the dilemma with your ascona c 1992 was certainly only a coincidence, and opel certainly improved everything at the vectra of juli 1998 and became more solid… but you read here almost only of annoyances! there are also opel people here, who are simply quite satisfied. write something positive about opel (spec. vectra) so that I can sleep quietly again 😉

I am in the process of retrofitting my 77 Diplomat (Diploral) 2.8E with electric window lifters. I have the original window lifters plus the cable set available. I did this work already in 1984. At that time however with the advantage that the donor vehicle showed me the exact procedure. I will replace the still missing switches first with switches from another vehicle. Unfortunately, no holes were drilled in vehicles with crank drives. the body, so that I had to re-drill it. With 8 holes not always easy, because actually the doors have to be unscrewed, in order to pierce the holms of the A and B pillars correctly. The cable set is from the younger models with switch set in the center console. I have created a specially made schematic as well as detailed conversion instructions. Who has done this already, can gladly speak. An exchange of experience is f For everyone’s help.

Hello dear Opel friends, I am proud owner of a record E(2) 1.8 i (with GKAT) but unfortunately at the moment less pride in his miserable jump-in. The cold start is not a problem at all, three starter turns and it runs clean and smooth. The hot start short (1s-5min.) after turning off is also unproblematic. It gets tricky if the good one stood about 30 min. Then it is only with a familiar sequence of starter spins, give gas, take gas away and de This is quite embarrassing and attracts a lot of compassionate glances. Also, after this complicated start procedure, he likes to go out again after 100m, and always when you give gas and then take it away again. In addition, he vibrates strongly in the stand. I have tested the ignition system (new candles, new cables, new cap). Injection side I checked the throttle valve switch, which also works. Air filter is fine, Kü Hlwassertemperaturgeber gives correct values. Anyone a ignite idea? Thanks to the scrap metal fanatics

Good day to everyone. I come from Pforzheim and have been driving my beloved Opel record D 1700 S, bj 1972 for about 7 years. He was always a loyal fermented one, but at the moment he only touches very stubbornly from the spot. Maybe someone has had a similar problem here and can help me. So start with: My engine has been having problems for a long time. Does not accept gas, goes out constantly and runs quite difficult. In the upper speed range lä When expanding the carburettor (solex didta 32/32) there was a nozzle in the float chamber and a little bit of about 2 mm diameter? I assume that this is the ball valve??? Does anyone know if the ball has to be placed under the valve in the lateral shaft in the float housing? I am of course happy about every info as a newcomer. I try to attach 2 pictures. Nice greetings to everyone, Steffen.

Hello, I have a Kadett D Caravan Diesel, which runs perfectly in summer, but has massive problems in winter to start. Due to the mileage of almost 450,000km I assume that a poor compression is the cause here. Now I have thought to warm up the sucked air with the preliminary glow (approx. 80W, parallel to the glow plugs, self-construction from soldered weed plate with heating spirals from an old hair dryer as purpose in front of the air filter). Greetings, Oliver.
