Small amounts of some wax. Not enough for real protection.

I am sure that metal embossed plates would not be made for the simple reason that a new set of plates could potentially be used to change the identity of a car chassis. Yes, this is correct, but for restoration purposes it should be an exact replica of these plates. In Germany there is a company wh...

Is there a company in UK which embosses new VIN plates and equipment plates? We have a car here, where both plates are missing and if you order a new VIN plate at the dealer you'll get just on of these sticker tags.

It's not their fault of course, we've all got lives to lead, kids to feed, mortgages to pay ect. and Cavalier numbers continue to fall. I think these are the main reasons. Cavalier will be 30 years old next year. It's the course of time that interests in this model decrease. And young people aren't...

Problem is, When the keg is in the ignition and turned on the lights in the instrument panel are on but the car wont start and nothing else seems to be working inside the car. If i pull the keys out of the ignition and turn the headlight switch on it brings the instrument lights on. I would check t...

If it has two wires on it, then it is a single speed fan. If it has three wires, then it is a 2 speed fan. If you mean the connector of temp sensor in radiator then this is not the full truth. ;) If you have a facelifted C20NE without air condition you got three wires but the fan is single speed. T...

Electric sunroof and non illuminated sun visors are not that unusual. In Germany CDX and V6 has electric sunroof as standard, but only MY1995 got the illuminated visors. I was surprised as I saw my 1994 CDX without them and checked the equipment lists in the brochures which confirmed that. In 1994 j...

There are no lights in the rear doors. These are just reflectors.

For reprogramming you just need an OP-COM (or anything similar). Easily done with laptop by yourself. :) On Vectra B there is no connection between central lock module and multitimer which controls central closure. It's hard wired between central lock controle module and window lifters (brown-black)...

You got the old ABS system with its ECU installed at the seat called "ABS 2S". This system has no diagnostic function. Maybe you find someone who still has a KM-566 diagnostic unit. This will do the search for errors a lot more easier. http://opel-infos.de/pictures/km-566.jpg If you haven'...

You got the digital variant, I got the analogue one

It's starts with a "T".

P.S. If you need the operators manual, I got a pdf.

I think, I got a twin...

One more part - even in Germany hard to get:

Or you post your equipment plate (the laquered one). With some of the codes you can find out original trim level.

1.6 with A/C? Really?

This thing is a vibration damper.

Thanks Tobias do you have a photo of it? Errr, eeehmmm, not really. :D If you follow the pipe from bulkhead to compressor on the RH side in director of travel there is a connector right at the bulkhead. I can take pictures next week if wanted. Yeah, I think some people are waiting to see some... :D

Looks really nice!

New data per email today:
As per January 1st 2017 just 58 Vectra A Hatch with X20XEV are still on German streets...

The first connection is that you posted above. The other one is near the lower bulkhead.

In Germany only 25% of all Vectra A were a hatch. In UK the hatch figure is 75%. Yes, you are right, the saloon is the more wanted model. There is no difference between UK and Germany. :D Turbo is Turbo... :roll: Many people are restoring Turbos or GSi but there are some more models. And in two or m...

More text than pictures: This "project" started back in May 2013 when I bought a Vectra CDX 2.0 16V. It was an Ebay auction showing a Vectra Hatch in Rioja stated with engine failure. Features were really good : A/C, leather, anti theft alarm, check control and the rest standard on CDX. So...

What the ...? I really bought the 16V back in 2013 already. As times goes by....

Familiar phrase in Germany:
Much month left after the end of the money.
