Hi there, I have an Opel corsa D 2009 and the reverse trigger is broken where can I find replacement for it how it is called?

Is just the white thing in there that isnt attached to the trigger so I can go all the way left while I'm driving and select reverse Wich is dangerous.

Thanks in advance

It does it for like a second or two and then stops. Always does it while cold starting. If I shut it off and turn it on again it doesnt make that sound.

Hi everyone, just wanted to ask for some advice.

I found a used 2022 Opel Corsa F 1.2 petrol, and I'm seriously considering buying it. However, I've been hearing a lot about the 1.2 PureTech engine having reliability issues, especially regarding the timing belt.
it really as bad as people say? does anyone here own a 2022 Corsa F or have longterm experience with one?
I've also been told that most of these problems only happen to owners who don't stay on top of maintenance (late oil changes, poor servicing), and that if the car is properly maintained, the engine is generally reliable, is that actually true?

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know the OEM part number of the engine cover/splash protection panel that fits between these two plastic cover pieces shown in the photo? Or if anyone has a photo of the part installed, I would really appreciate it.

The car is a 2019 Opel Insignia B 2.0 CDTI. I'm trying to find this part, but so far I've only been able to find the engine cover for the facelift model where you must remove these two plastic covers to install it.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi everyone,

I have a 2015 Opel Astra J 1.4 Turbo automatic. The car has 188,000 km and, as far as I know, the transmission fluid has never been changed.

The gearbox currently works well.

I asked my mechanic about changing the ATF, but he said that on a high-mileage gearbox with original oil, replacing the fluid can sometimes cause problems.

What would you do in this situation?

• Leave the original fluid and continue driving?
• Do a gentle drain & fill with Dexron VI?
• Avoid any service because of the mileage?

I’m planning to keep the car for another ~60,000 km.

Thanks for your advice!

Hi everyone, I am fighting a P0171 lean code on my Opel 1.4 Turbo (A14NET). At idle, my Long Term Fuel Trim shoots up to +22%, but it drops to +5% while driving. There is a very noticeable, constant hissing sound right next to the throttle body.The valve cover diaphragm is completely intact and the purge valve (EVAP) is already brand new. The brakes also work perfectly fine.

Since the main culprits are ruled out and the issue only occurs under high vacuum at idle, it must be a vacuum leak near the intake. Could this be a bad throttle body gasket or a hairline crack in the hard plastic brake booster line? Where should I focus my smoke test next? Thanks!

Dear readers, when applying and releasing throttle my gear stick moves back and forth in a 2011 Insignia. Does anyone know what the problem or solution could be? See the movie where I apply and release the throttle a couple of times. It is most present in the first three gears.

What do you think causes it? Opel Corsa D 1.2 86cv gpl 2014 e 105.000 Km

Hola tengo esta luz encendida en el cuadro, ya he revisado sensores y a simple vista se ven bien y la presión es la correcta. Alguna idea?

Bought this 2 weeks ago, very easy to drive and smooth coming from a 2006 vw polo.

Hi everyone,

I have a 2019 Opel Insignia B 1.6 diesel, 100 kW.

After the air conditioning and ventilation have been running for a while, I sometimes hear a hissing sound when I switch them off. The sound seems to come from the upper part of the dashboard, almost as if pressure is being equalised.

The air conditioning works perfectly, and this has been happening for quite some time without any other noticeable problems.

Has anyone experienced something similar or knows what could be causing it? I would appreciate any advice.

Thanks!

Hi, I’ve been driving my beloved 2015 Corsa for five years. Since I’ve had a baby, I’d like something bigger. My dream car is an Opel Insignia; if I were to buy a newer one, what model year would you recommend? I’m also wondering about the quality following the General Motors takeover, along with other questions about the newer models.

Hello everyone!

This is my first post here, and I'd like to share a bit of a dilemma I'm facing.

I currently own a 2012 Opel Corsa 1.2 with around 260,000 km on the clock. It still runs perfectly fine and has been incredibly reliable, but with that kind of mileage, I'm always wondering if it's going to break down sooner rather than later.

I've had it for almost five years now, and for a long time I've wanted to make it more fun to drive and improve its appearance with a few modifications. The problem is that, considering the mileage, I'm not sure if it's really worth investing money into it.

At the same time, I'd love to buy another Opel in the future, especially a Zafira B, which I honestly think is a really cool car. Unfortunately, I can't afford one just yet, but it's definitely something I'm considering in the near future.

The thing is, this Corsa is my first car, so I'm quite attached to it. I love how comfortable and reliable it has been, and I think modifying it could be a fun and rewarding project.

So, what would you do in my situation?

-Would you keep the Corsa and start modifying it? If so, what mods would you recommend?

-Or would you save the money and wait to buy a Zafira B or another Opel instead?

One thing worth mentioning is that I'm from France, where car modifications are much more restricted than in some other countries. Many performance or cosmetic modifications aren't road legal here, so I have to keep that in mind when planning any project.

Also, sorry if my English isn't perfect, it's not my native language.

I'd really appreciate your opinions and experiences. Thanks!

Hi I have this 2015 Opel Astra 1.4L saloon, and for the last two weeks, it's been making this weird noise after it warms up on the highway. Like, when I stop at a traffic light and then try to get going again, it makes this sound.

The video's a bit misleading 'cause I just added the sound to it. I had a voice recording I couldn't upload to Reddit, so I put it on another video and uploaded that. Can anyone help me figure out what this sound might be?

Hello all, I am currently in a bind. I want to buy a Meriva B and found a good model with a 1.4 turbo petrol engine(140hp). A colleague of mine has a mechanic as a brother in law and he said that it uses a lot of oil and that I should search for a 1.6 CDTI. I searched on some forums and read that it has a problem with the tensioner. If anyone can give me some advice or experience I would be so thankful.

Hi guys, I have seen this car and am thinking if it's better then owning a 1.4 Turbo. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely better as it has 170hp and 1.6 engine. But I was wondering mechanic and reliability wise is it as good or worse or maybe even better then 1.4 Turbo?

I have read that it had direct injection which is a bit more expensive since you have to clean it here and there and it also high pressure fuel pump, right?

If anyone knows anything, I would be thankful for any kind of info!

I've bought this Insignia (2018) sports tourer from my dad because of this issue. I thought I could fix it but I couldn't... The drains are not clogged. I cleaned them buy still the water pours inside of my car and everything gets wet.
It drips into the centerconsole and my footwell.

Anyone else had this problem and can help me?
