Yes! I´m from sweden...It´s valve steam seals that I mean.- (ventiltätningar, in swedish)
A guy in the opelgroup in sweden, said that he had to install new valve steams in his 2001. And said that It was a known issue in this group, and it was seals of metal, glued, that wasn´t good?, As me It just was the 179hp engine?
One teori from a friend that had worked with different cars, many brands, and heavvy machines drove after me and had not seen any sot or oil smoke from the exhauste pipes double pipes
I had a problem, the former owner only drove in the city, and when I tested the engine, with some kickdowns´and drove 12 swedish mile, and low oil level was indicated.
t had consumed 0,9liters! But the guy with the city, and then a long ride was right, It takes no oil after that!
But I have heard that this valve steams could losend from the glue, and be direct costly, so I have to repair It before It occurs, oil distroyingthe motor!
You know whats correct!
Thank You!
