I’ve got many problems on my OPEL GT and I’d like to give me some suggestions on what I can do- how can use my warranty on my GT!
Firstly I'd like to inform you that the technical experience here in Greece about GT is at least below zero!!!
Problems;
1) My car doesn't have anti-theft alarm as it supposed to have one when i ordered it
2) The dic oil life is reducing rapidly and now i have 7300km and 18% remaining life I’ve got to mention that that OPEL claims that Opel customers should change their oil at 15000km or 1 year
3) Various scrats and noises behind the driver and the co-driver side
4) Also a scrats is indicated when i pull up the hand-brake
5) A problem is indicated on the whole dashboard and the center console lighting...Imagine that the lighting falls so much low that extinguishes almost! see the video to understand me exactly(see on the 6 second) http://www.youtube.com/v/tYw6aowN7H8 the problem is indicated only in the car and not in the external lighting! also opel garage in my neighboor changed the alternator and no improvement at all
6) The roof slash in her right place and other times slash wrong
7) In the side of co-driver it makes so much heat
8) LIGHTS work immediately when you start the engine... should they?
9) On the steering wheel at the right side, the horn can't be pushed in order to fire up the horn
10) The brake does not have sense and as a result you can't brake in the first kilometers! After some efforts it begins to touch and it makes these first times something like bubbles when you push the pedal to brake.
Welcome to the forum nasos!
I don't know the answers to ALL of your questions but I'll hit the ones I do:
1. The anti-theft is not like what you may be thinking ... it is in the key fob and security system of the car. At least that is the way they make the USA cars.
5. Dash lighting is poor ... especially in the sunlight with the top down. Our complaints have been with regard to the radio.
6. Need a little more explanation on this one
7. The heat comes from the exhaust ... you can try pulling up the carpet and laying down some extra insulation.
8. Yes ... lights have an AUTO ON function ... if the Opel GT works the same as ours if you do not wish them to be on ... then flip your switch to the down position once ... that should take it off the AUTO ON function until the next time you start the car.
10. The GXP brakes have this issue also - from what I have read if you allow 30-60 seconds for the system to 'build' you should not have any problems.
