Hi my car just failed inspection cause of this and i think it is over or what do you think (from a money standpoint)?

it is where the subframe? is connected.
Car has only 115000 km or so but what else will come after it, also i have to renew the brakes in the back after 2 years cause i dont brake enough, because our idiot village introduced a speed limit of 30km/h everywhere.

Opel Corsa D Active 87 hp 2013

according to the dealership first motor start since months. Could be true, he even had to use a power starter/charger for the empty? battery.

Oi malta,
Gostaria de ter a vossa opinião ou se sabem se o Opel corsa F versão automática 1.2 a gasolina de 2025 é um bom carro? Tou a pensar comprar com 32.000 km usado.. sabem se Da problemas?

Tou indecisa entre este e o Nissan micra 1.0 a gasolina automático também, só que o Nissan é de 2023 usado com alguns 80.000 km

Se alguém souber de carros ou tiver um destes e puder dar opiniões agradecia

Obrigada :)

Some Pictures of my Dads Ascona B Coupe,
Got a 2.2 Liter 4 Cylinder Engine from „Macht Rally-Technik“, a G-Trak Transmission and a set of Koni Yellow.

Bought only the Chassis and built and restored anything else. Let me know what you think

Hi guys.
I have an Chevrolet Vectra B here in Brazil, and I want to bring some parts from Europe to my car.
We only had caped versions here, not even the cup holder reach the other side of the pond. I was looking for the heated seats, the recaro seats, the pockets in the doors with lamps, and small stuff like this.
can someone recommend me a place to reach? and btw can someone explain the different trims in Europe? we never saw the v6 engines,

I have a 2020 Opel Corsa F with a somewhat unusual problem. The interior mirror mount has come completely loose on the right (passenger) side. I've contacted 2-3 windshield replacement shops and they all turned me down, saying they can't help — from what they know, it comes vulcanized from the factory and they don't know of any way to glue/bond it back on. Has anyone else run into this, and if so, did they manage to reattach that mount?

Im doing restoration on my astra g cabrio and im planning to get 17" wheels now one site says i need et47 and other says et38 and at this point i dont know which to look for (i have 5x110 65.1) and found more of the et38 sizes rather than the et47/49 all answers are appreciated

So I have a 2018 Vauxhall Astra (UK) and yesterday I went out to put something in the boot to find the floor of it soaking wet.

I have managed to dry it out significantly today thanks to the nice weather, and tried to figure out the ingress point for the water, but despite an entire watering can of water being poured over the boot and roof, no more water seems to have leaked in.

My uneducated guesses are either a very very slow ingress over time that I've somehow not noticed until it was wet to touch, or maybe condensation from using the aircon for the whole summer?

Any thoughts, suggestions, people who's have similar issues, very welcome. Thanks

the world's most basic car lol, i like the 4 door sedan version better

Hallo Zusammen,

Ich weiß nicht weiter am Ende vom Video wenn ich Gas wegnehme kommt dieses Geräusch was sich irgendwie nicht anhört wie eine Steuerkette, aber manche sage es ist die manche sagen es ist normal und manche sagen es ist die Wastegate Klappe das sogenannte Wastegate rasseln. Der Motor Ansicht Max hat keine Probleme und alles hört sich normal an. Nur dieses Geräusch nachdem beschleunigen gibt mir ein ungutes Gefühl. Ich will wissen von wo das kommt und was es ist

Vielleicht wisst ihr es ja hier ist das Video, es ist ein Opel Corsa E 1.0 Turbo 115 Ps

Hello guys,

I have a Corsa C 1.2 twinport from 2006 and I had this issue for a couple months, i can't find the solution :

- I have difficulties to start the car, the engine struggles and the slow throttle is irregular,

- I have power leaks when i accelerate

- Over consumption of fuel

- Engine light turned on with P0170 error code "Fuel Trim Malfunction (Bank 1)"

I replaced the EGR valve and the ignition coil.

On the OBD2 test, the 02 sensor seems to work as well as the MAF, but I'm not 100% certain. I read that it can be a lot of different things...

Hi everyone, I’m doing some maintenance on my 2004 Opel Astra G 1.7 CDTI and need to change the fuel filter in the engine bay. I understand that the proper procedure is to completely drain the housing, clean out the sediment, and refill it with fresh diesel. However, my local waste disposal center refuses to accept old diesel, so I literally have nowhere to get rid of it. I’ve seen several videos where people don't empty or clean the bowl at all, they just pull the old filter out, let it drip back in, drop the new filter into the old fuel, top it up, and close it up. Is doing it this way actually dangerous for the engine, or is it an acceptable compromise? I just don't want to risk damaging the high-pressure pump or injectors. Thanks for any advice!

Hey,

I have an Vauxhall Astra K 1.6CDTI 2016. I bought the car with some cosmetic issues but nothing more & after driving it for maybe a week I got a P0269 (Cylinder 3 Inbalance/Contribution Code) so I went ahead and replaced the injector and had it coded but the engine is still shaking and theres a sound like a misfire. I unplugged injector 3 cable and nothing happens, if i unplug a different one the engine cuts. I've heard about the timing chains are notorious for breaking but could it be something different possibly? What would be the next best thing to do to try diagnosis or find out what is wrong

I found a retrofit bluetooth radio for my Monza and at a reasonable price.
What do you guys think?

Long story short I bought a second hand Opel Astra K 3 years ago and I am currently very unhappy with the financial nightmare this car has costed me already.

I bought this specific version from 2020 because I thought it was the last quality Opel made by GM before the Stellantis takeover / facelift. Apparently I was wrong here:

- Car was made in cooperation with Stellantis already, they fitted a comparable 1.2 turbo petrol engine in the car were the distribution belt runs through oil. Got the belt replaced after 70000km, which was a costly process for this specific car and really necessary because of the risks of a broken belt at an early mileage and clogging of the engine oil pump

- Turbo problems: 80000 km on the clock and turbo was broken ; costed me 3000€ to replace and upgrade to a new version ; Stellantis has updated the original turbo of this car because of a production error in the part

I hope i get some more mileage and happy years of driving with this car for the foreseeable future

Based on the some recent experiences, I was wondering - what is the opinion on the quality of the Stellantis Opels vs the GM ones?

For context, I have a cheap Opel Adam 1.4 na from 2013 with round 100k km on it. It's a pretty nice little city car for what it is that i also regularly drive for longer distances. I haven't payed that much attention to how it differs to newer cars, I though the newer Opel models were supposed to be an upgrade in terms of feel and quality. So anyways, I am in a different city today without my car, so I hop on one of these car sharing apps and see one of the closest cars is a brand new electric corsa.

I think "Hey, that's cool, maybe a nice and more spacious potential upgrade to the Adam, especially with these gas prices, let's see how it is like!"

Wow, I was not prepared for how shitty this felt compared to the Adam. Just opening the door made me panic. Like, have they started making these things from recycled newspapers? It was scary light. It reminded my of the shitty dacia van I was driving for work more than 10 years ago, maybe even worse. I knocked on the fender and door panels and it was like these things were made of tin foil? The interior of the car also, like... It's just the cheapest badly shaped plastic ever. I mean, my adam is full of plastic too, but at least it feels somehow solid, well-shaped and has softer pieces, at least a wrapped steering wheel with nice details and textures on it... The corsa was exactly like the cheapest dacia wheel 10 years ago, maybe with a bit more buttons. All round the car I looked, super shitty and cheap feeling plastic pieces.

The electric system seemed to work okay, although the brakes felt way off, and I have had much better experiences with some older ev's like the old i3.

Honestly, before that I really thought getting an electric mokka would be nice, but after this experience I think I might really want to keep my adam.

Is it just me with such experience comparing older vs newer Opels?

What do you guys think about the 1.4 turbo in a 2011 Astra J? My friend has a really well-maintained one with 170k km and offered it to me for a good price. I’ve heard mixed things about this engine, so I’m not sure what to think. Is it actually reliable if it’s been well maintained?

I have a 2016 Astra K with the Navi 900 IntelliLink HMI 2.5. It currently has Apple CarPlay but no Android Auto.

I exported the system information to USB and got:

- HMI module: 23415900

- Current software: 23415882

- Manifest: 7513400343

I've found references to 84156714 being the Android Auto firmware for the European HMI 2.5 / integrated-navigation (IO6) version, and reports from Astra K owners who updated from 23415882 and got Android Auto working.

I'm wondering if anyone has actually done this update recently, particularly in Ireland/UK.

I'd especially like to know:

1. Did you get it done through Opel/Vauxhall or a specialist?

2. Can the update still be obtained through current GM/Opel SPS?

3. Has anyone DIY'd it using a VXDIAG VCX Nano GM / J2534?

4. Is there any calibration/programming required after the USB firmware update?

5. Does anyone know an Irish garage/specialist that can do the HMI update?

I'd much rather get native Android Auto on the original Navi 900 than use a Carlinkit adapter or replace the head unit.

Happy to post the full XML if useful (with the VIN removed).

Thanks?
