Hi my opel astra 1995 1,6 ECOTEC have a problem in acceleration when I press the accelerator to the bottom the car dont answer and still in the same speed and most of the time when I press the clucth to stop the car the engine shuts and I must return the gear to the second or third to start the engine again there is no body can solve this problem is there any solutions plz and I checked the sparks nothing wrong with it but the engine oil decreased and I have changed the bensin filter and the problem still the same thank you very much Im very sorry I dont find an opel astra expert so I chose a volkswagon expert very sorry Bassam

Test fuel pressure if below spec.get new pump

No one can answer this here....you have a mechanic with the car right in front of him and he has no idea what is wrong......sorry.

I recommend a trained mechanic to do this

So what is the problem? The new filter for a Z18XE screws directly on to the front of the engine block behind the radiator, and the oil drains out of the drain plug at the base of the sump. The Z18XER only differs in that the filter sits in a round black housing visible from the top right of the engine and is requires a 32mm spanner to remove the cover. The filter is different from that on the Z18XE

Sounds like water pump has given out. If you can slacken the belt that drives it and then run engine again briefly. If the noise is gone when you have done this it will be water pump for sure.

Hi want to know the head talk settings for 2007 1.8 opel astra ecoteck plz

until you know exactly what it is then the answer is YES.. The biggest effect will be low economy and performance. Have a compression test done to check for head gasket and valve problems. These 2 will eventually require the head off and major work done if left too long. First step is to have the fault codes read as it may be a simple plug, HT lead of if individual coils , a faulty coil. Check the distributor cap if it has one for cracks and carbon tracks between the HT points . Check for dirt on the outside causing a short in the HT circuit.. Check for vacuum leaks (lean mixture hotter than normal temp). Check brake booster hoses and hoses to the inside vent controls. Remember the engine is trying to tell you that it is not well and like yourself if you do nothing it will get sicker and be very expensive to fix.

will need the engine model number.... also what do you mean will not accelerate but running perfect ? has the engine become limited i.e only revs to 2000 or so. ???

Check your spark plug wiries.
