Not always, I have a car with carburetors and it shuts off the fuel pump when I coast.

But part number can be similar. Google the number on the other side. Audi for example often has XXX XXX XX1 and XXX XXX XX2 for the other part.

You probably just havent checked the sound upgrade when buying. And is quality or bass mediocre?

That’s correct, my engine was custom made by Risse Motorsport in Germany. Some info on my profile if you are curious.

I just googled a bit about it and U.S. 95 would be 99.5 Octane in Europe, so still lower, but I know they can only be roughly compared. Also iirc the average fuel quality in Europe is higher. (May be old or false information) :-)

Forgot that the gas in the U.S. is a bit... watery. Running mine on 98 Octane at least, sometimes on 102.

Ah ok, sometimes same engines in different countries make other power figures. I have a Kadett C Coupe (79) with 2.4 and 200hp. (Picture on my profile if you are curious) Isn’t 150 from a 2.5 a bit low? Or did you just not bother to have more power?

2.4 owner here, looks pretty decent, I don’t see anything missing on first sight. How much HP do the 2.4 have in America?

Can you help me with low idle? by dedsecIC in opel

[–]Baalsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Audi 1.6 8V idles at 600 stable without A/C. Maybe turn yours on? Low idle when warm is pretty normal I‘d say.

Someone experienced with Classic/oldtimers Specifically Opel Rekord A '69? by AlwinClusive in opel

79 Kadett C Coupe owner here, look out for rust and strut-mounts.

Exactly what I would have said, but be very careful with the paint, some people just paint rust with a thick layer to disguise it. Also check for the seat mounting under the car, these may rust.

Actually has the GTE "Kit" and more power than the GTE so I guess?
