Question 1

What are the known problems of the Opel 1.2 Turbo shared with Peugeot?

Accepted Answer

Its timing belt runs in oil and can wear early, shedding debris that can block the oil pump's strainer and starve the engine. Check that the belt was inspected or replaced on schedule and that the specified oil was used.

Question 2

How much road tax does a petrol Opel pay in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

Its CO₂ figure × 0.6 × a band factor that rises with emissions, so a small Corsa pays much less than a large Insignia. A Hybrid is taxed the same way, on its own official CO₂ figure.

Question 3

What is the difference between an Opel Hybrid and a plug-in hybrid?

Accepted Answer

The Hybrid pairs the 1.2 Turbo with a 48-volt electric motor and a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and charges itself as it drives. A plug-in hybrid charges from the mains, covers some distance on electricity alone and usually pays only the €30 minimum road tax.

Question 4

Which petrol versions does the new Opel range offer?

Accepted Answer

The 1.2 Turbo with a manual, at 100 PS in the Corsa and Frontera and 136 PS in the Mokka, the Hybrid with 110 or 145 PS and an automatic in the Corsa, Frontera, Astra, Mokka and Grandland, and a 110 PS petrol in the Combo Life.
