Hello, I have been offering an Opel Combo (E) Life with navigation system “Multimedia Navi Pro System” since February 2020. After registration of the Opel app, an update of the map material is offered to me. Unfortunately, the link for the instructions on how to prepare the update (USB-Stick …) can not be opened until today. Since the system is also installed on Peugeot, I got the instructions there and formatted the USB-Stick (32 GB FAT32) and copied the files to the stick after default. Since a system update for the infotainment system was offered, I also copied the files to the stick as specified. The update was started to install as it was explained in the description. After about a third of the update process, the message that an error would have occurred and the system restarted appeared appeared. However, the whole system does not work and only remains on one screen, on which the message appears to be restricted (unfortunately not) . If someone has a tip on how to get the system back to run? I don’t think it’s possible to make it work for a Opel?

Hello. I am thinking of getting the current Vivaro with Bi-Turbo engine (145 hp). We mainly need a large family car with plenty of space, but also as a towing vehicle for a caravan (1600 kg) plus holiday load it should be suitable. And exactly on the second point I wonder if it is not a little undermotorized for it. According to technical data it may pull up to 2to, but my other 1.6 L diesel (no Bi-Turbo and only allowed up to 1700 kg train weight) is a bit difficult. Does anyone have experience with the model in train operation? How are your other experiences with the model, especially in the private environment. The reviews on various other portals are very disappointing, especially in the area of the indicated mottled consumption values. But that wouldn’t be the most important point for me now. By chance someone knows if a model update is planned at Opel or Renault in the foreseeable future? With my luck next year a new model will come and then you won’t wait black. Would you please me to read one or another experience.

Hello I have a Opel Combo B built in 1997 with the following problem. And that was when a wheel turned very hard at the rear and the rim got hot when driving for longer. So it was clear brake tight. So wheel down the drum and brake disassembled. New wheel brake cylinders installed and built together. After that the hand brake did not go any more and even the brake itself had hardly any effect. I then made new coverings because by being stuck the lining suffered extremely from it so that it was down to the rivets. But now I still have the problem that the hand brake hardly brakes and also the fus brake does not really have the full effect. You can only notice that when I press the brake the wheel a little hard turns but I can still turn it before hand. Does anyone have a tip what went wrong there? Are the drums so worn off?
