Question 1

How much more road tax does a diesel Opel pay in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

Half as much again as a petrol Opel with the same CO₂ figure, because the diesel fuel factor is 0.9 instead of 0.6. On long commutes, the diesel's lower consumption can still outweigh that.

Question 2

What should I check on a used Opel 1.5 Diesel?

Accepted Answer

That the AdBlue system shows no warning: faults in its tank and pump are a known weak point of the 1.5 shared with Peugeot and Citroën. Left unrepaired, the fault starts a countdown after which the engine will not restart.

Question 3

Is a used Opel diesel a good choice for short trips?

Accepted Answer

Less so: on short runs the particulate filter cannot regenerate, and a clogged filter may need cleaning or replacing. A diesel Opel suits long commutes, motorway driving and towing.

Question 4

Which new Opel models are still sold with a diesel engine?

Accepted Answer

The Astra Sports Tourer with a 130 PS diesel and an automatic, the Combo Life with 100 or 130 PS, manual or automatic, and the Zafira with 180 PS and an automatic. The Astra hatchback and Opel's SUVs come without a diesel in the current range.
