Hello together Looking for a new car I came across an Opel record E BJ 1985 with 2.2i engine and 83,000km. Looks optically still really top My question is now, what are there in this car for weak spots and what can it cost with 2 years tüv. also an important question would be how much it is built up, have Googled there already and there came values of 8-13l on what is already happig. Is there a cold running controller to retrofit anywhere? mfg

Hello people! I’m already a while in talk, but with computer technology I don’t know myself so well and try to describe my problem here and hope that I will be helped by you. I bought a kadett d 1,3n automatic from firsthand. had previously a lot of kadett d’s driven from 1,2 – 2l 16v. then a whole time was quiet, since you also get older. now to my problem with my cream piece. he just doesn’t want to start. had bought a new Krafstoffpump and he wants to use oh no. but if I take off the air filter and spray in the carburetor brake cleaner he wants to start. do you know the problem??? would look forward to your help very much. since the season will soon start again I would like to have it finished. ohso if someone knows a cheap laugher who licks my 2 kotis, I would be grateful for a hint. I myself come from neuruppin, north berlins. so until then…

I see black!!! My first drive was in an Opel record 1964, (after my birth) the first car of my daddy was a Kadett A 1964(small white stepback limousine), and now it’s all over? What can Magna contribute? Dispatch of technology to Gaz? Investments in the market Russia? If I look at the sales numbers there shudders me………., and where are the synergies? I think there, if for example Fiat would have been awarded the contract, on common platforms, like e.g. 500/Panda/F ord KA/Opel Corsa/Lancia Y, that would have saved a lot of development money and enabled a reasonable amount of vehicles to be produced on a platform, the same is true for all models of both brands! They don’t have to complement each other, synergies are more important today than ever, that can’t happen without job losses seems logical to me, which I regret very much, what can Magna offer without conflicting with GM (should be a big customer of them)? W If you think of it, would Fiat have been the better partner after all? Thank you in advance for your answers! Greetings, mah

So, I drive a Kadett D 1.3S automatic, Bj 1984. Since yesterday he does not drive any more faster than 140 (at least I found it yesterday) and since today he started to stutter at 120… That is, the gas was short away, came back, was gone again and so on – first at quite long intervals of 20 seconds or so. Then in the course of the day this stutter limit continued to go down, at least I can’t drive more than 70 because then he “drys off” in a second. I’ve been with Opel, where I’ve been told that either there’s too little transmission oil on it and that’s why he can’t get into the 4th gear, or that it’s something more serious – which the good man couldn’t name any more. Can anyone of you? And can anyone tell me what that has to do with the choke?

Hello dear oldtimer friends, I have an Opel record 2.0 E, built in 1983. I would have the following concerns about this car: The refrigerant of the air conditioning system in record has been out for a long time due to a small leak. The leak is not a problem to find, but the refrigerant R12, which would be the right remedy for this air conditioning system, has been banned for a long time in Austria and Germany or in general in the EU. Replacement refrigerants (e.g. R437A). My questions are: Which is the best replacement refrigerant for the R12? Can you just use this replacement refrigerant instead of the R12, or do you still have to pay attention to various special features (seals etc.)? How much of the replacement refrigerant do I need to refill my air conditioner? Thank you in advance for your answers. LG Didi

Hello, we will soon get the omega b kombi 2l switch as a butcher, Nu came to my idea the x20xev in the kadett b one to build, it has to be no performance strong, but only drive. .. Nu to the question, which Kardan wave fits? Does the omega fit too? Will only meet a vehicle without road registration, but at some point it will follow and something else comes in… But what else has to be considered if the x20xev in the kadet b should be? Mfg

Dear connoisseur of matter: In the KAD-B models built from 1969 to 1977 various little things were developed or changed. This also helps other interested parties to better assign in displays illustrated vehicles to a year of construction. Here a small list compiled from the head, which I ask to expand or improve. 1969: March: Introduction KAD-B, setting KAD-A 1970: setting model captain (Intern 26) (Heisst now Admiral-N) Admiral is called Admiral-L(Intern 27) D iplomat (internal 25) 1971: front seats with headrests windshield with integrated antenna 1972: change instruments , steering wheel and turn signal lever Admiral in equipment and ROYAL can be ordered 1873: rear panel rear panel modified(instead of sheet metal trims) 1974: trim vinyl roof C-pillar modified window lift switch in center console 1976: diplomat 2.8 with headlights set by Admiral, Admiral 1977: July: setting of KAD series 1978: sale and approval remaining stocks warehousing vehicles Special versions: Long version Convertible 4-door coupe Ambulance combo hearse (Bitter Diplomat) Number of pieces built: 61569 Of which Captain : 1524 Currently registered: approx.500 pieces (officially registered or registered vehicles) Unrecorded travel: approx.250 pieces (projects etc. according to own estimate) I have taken some data from published websites.

Hello D-community, heavy heart I give up my D-hobby and thus sell my Kadett-D. Here are some data: Kadett-D-CC 3-door 1.2N (39/53) “Berlina” Built 07.04.1981 3.Hand, original 93Tkm, unwelded original condition !! Tüv+Au: New! Color is flamencored with black velour Equipment: aluminium rims, headlight cleaning system, additional brake lights fog package, remote spotlight, radio “Le Mans CR” with cassette, storage compartment in the trunk and under the amature board, dirt Every year, cavity wax and Ub protection were renewed or refreshed. The vehicle had an oil change with filter every 7,500km. Contacts, spark plugs, brake hoses +liquid, oil tray, valve cover and control housing seal were replaced this year. The brake was renewed last year (since that was only 1,500-2,000km). The clutch was changed 2 years ago (4,000km ago). More is happening to me at the moment. Unfortunately there is also a small negative point, which I don’t want to hide. When I got the cadett he put light rust on the front window frame, which I have not yet fixed. Don’t worry, it is only surface rust that was treated by me with rust converter and color. is not rusted anymore since 2002!! Otherwise the cadett is stainless. The cadett is not sold to tuners or other spinners, but only to Ori. ginalos or lovers!!!! Now for the price, I think the price of 250€ is not inappropriate, since such a car with this equipment is no longer to get! Please only serious offers, is anyway hard enough!

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
