Hello, I have a a Opel Vectra but its started develeping problems the coolent needs toping up every 48hours regardless of the Kms. Also Battery get flat if the car has be left for more than 24hours. Also at low revs (-1750RPM) the oil wispy comes up. It takes ages to start if the morning but it does start eventuly if the outside temp is below 15°C. The car have done 198k kms. It has also had a strange battery in the final month and a service.
Any ideas thanks
I have an old '93 Cavalier that made it to 168,000 miles or close to 270,000 Km on its original engine.
If the coolant wishes topping up then it is going somewhere..
You could have a coolant outflow..
Check the underside of the car while it is running for drips/steam etc and check the carpet within the driver and passenger footwell (leak through heater matrix)
However as you are also having grease pressure warnings have you checked the condition of the grease ?
It is possible you have a head gasket seep where the coolant is mixing with the grease. If this is the case the oil should show contamination.
If the grease has been topped up at your concluding service then possible your oil pump is failing (at difficult revs it is ok ?)
As far as the flat battery most likely (as long as you are getting no qualification lights for the alternator) is a wiring fault.
I deliberate if you wish to keep the saloon it might be time to go to a Vauxhall Garage for an expert opinion however at that age the saloon is not worh alot anymore, and if you need to replace the head gasket and grease pump you will find yourself out of pocket more than the cost of the car, however that is your choice.
I be happy with the cavalier for copious years and in the last few have a number of big expenses (wishbones/anti roll bars/engine mounts) but eventualy when the electrics started to fail I replaced it (with a 1997 Vectra! which is still running strong)
Maybe ring around to see if any garage is remarkably familiar with the Vectra model you hold.
Good Luck !
ITS DYING.sombrely they were never a good design of engine...the second that grease lite comes on and you dont stop the engine DAMAGIE is occuring..the lighs there for a reason,when its on near is no oil preasure and if the engines turning then stuff is getting worn INSTANTLY...its probobly to postponed to get it to the garage but i would say its a engine swap,brakers/salvage yard will be your best bet but IF you can find them they wont be cheep.
OR top up all oils/fluids,clean it,wax it and lob it on ebay..
Answers: it really wishes an oil change and minor tune ups
