Hi. I am from Azerbaijan and I would like to ask one question about Opel vectra 1.8 1998. Duringchanging gearbox oil observed that colour of the drained oil was completely black. after 7000 km Oil changed again and observed the same picture. Why is oil changing colour? Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Ilya

Opel has this common fault, usually around 100 000 kms, the idle sensor gives in and needs to be changed. At first it will be off and on, then is gets worst, my advice is get it sorted before it gets worse.

The stepper motor on an Opel Astra 1.4 is primarily responsible for controlling the position of the throttle valve in the engine's intake system. It adjusts the airflow entering the engine based on various inputs, such as accelerator pedal position and engine load, helping to optimize performance and emissions. Additionally, it can play a role in idle speed control, ensuring smooth engine operation during different driving conditions.

Have you had your key anywhere near a magnet of any description? Even a speaker magnet can knock out these keys. You'll probably need to get your key reset by your dealer.

Or your battery may need changing?

Opel is a division of General Motors. They are known as Adam Opel AG - full name.

Here is a link to Wiki - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel

Part of the number is internationally recognised.

Generally (universally?) the first 3 digits denote the make (manufacturer) of the vehicle.

SAJ=Jaguar.

W0L=Vauxhall/opel

WVW=Volkswagen.

ETC

Then the rest is up to the manufacturer, with he understanding that the last 6 are "frame numbers" for the make/model, and are as such "unique".

SO you might get W0L000058R123456.

W0L=Vauxhall/opel.

58R=Cavalier 5 door hatch.

123456=unique number for the 5 door hatch cavalier in question.

You might get W0L000073R123456, but then 73R is a Corsa van, so the 123456 is still unique, there will be only one 73R followed by 123456.

Hope this makes sense.

opel omega crankshaft sensor is located next tp the oil filter atached with a star shaped screw, to remove it you have to remove the oil filter first. or the muffler.

There is no difference. They are the same! Opel originating in Germany for some reason chose to have different names in different markets.

The torque settings are normally included on a sheet when buying the gasket set.

It all depends on what corsa it is, my opel corsa 1997 1.3i Lite's filter is situated inside the petrol tank, you can get to it by lifting up the back seat and opening tha black round cap.

I have a corsa c sxi 2001. I will be changing the petrol filter at the weekend. It is situated under the car beside the petrol tank near the back. Make sure you depresurise the tank before taking the old one off or you will have petrol all over. Leave for 20mins with key out the egnition and relese petrol cap then put it back on and start work. Have rags and paper ready for spillage. Hope this helps

I have a Corsa c 2001 and i am in the prossess of changing the petrol filter. Mine is at the side of the petrol tank just under the front side of your back off side wheel. You should get at it by lifting the back off side of your car and put it on an axel stand. It is just as the chap said before me

where is thermostat located

your overdrive unit is probably shot. that is the fourth gear or drive as you call it. they have had lots of trouble with all overdrive automatics in the states. your opel is a GM design.
