1987 Opel Ascona review from Czech Republic
"Powerful, comfortable and economic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 125.000 km wrong aquatic pump (leaked)
At 160.000 km rope of clutch was broken.
At age of 14 years heating of rare glass stops work.
From 120.000 km step by step I changed breaks (front and back disks, plates) exhoust (middle, back), back dumpers.
General comments?
Excellent engine - very powerful, quiet and economical.
Very gog and economical gearbox - at 3000 rpm runs 140 km/h.
Low consumption of gas (on long distances consumption 6,5 liters - even in constant speed 140-150 km/h on highways and in mountains)
Very good space, comfort and variability of 5 door hatchback, which is not uselessly big.
