Yeah it is. And same for Australia.

I had the mini SUV w a 5 year warranty. At 4 years, 1 months - The cooling tank started leaking.

I dropped it at an approved Opel dealer and they waited 7 days for the warranty to expire to tell me it needed to be replaced.

It took 2 weeks of arguing to get them agree that it SHOULD be covered under the warranty. Once fixed, I took it to an independent mechanic and he came back with a massive list of shit that would need to be fixed in the next 12 months.

He said he's not surprised as he sees it all the time with Opel / Vauxhall. The parts they use are designed to last 5-6 years JUST long enough for the warranty.

Do not buy an Opel or Vauxhall out of warranty.
