1988 Opel Kadett LS 3 door from Netherlands - Comments

The car is very reliable, but one time the engine was full of petrol due to a small error in the carburettor which was solved in no time.

Also the bottom of the car had some bad spots before I started to drive it.

This car is not a really quick car, but it isn't slow either; it's quicker than other 1300cc cars in its class. In spite of the fact that this engine only develops 60 HP, a well fitting gear-box delivers a lot of driving pleasure.

The handling of the car is really nice; it has a quite good traction, but above all it is very predictable. Due to this the car is all so really easy to correct.

But probably the strongest aspect of this German "legend" is the reliability; except the one time the engine was filled with petrol, the car has never let me down, not even in extreme cold or foggy weather.

I like your comments. I think that it is right.

I have also a Kadett, built in 1986. The engine is 1300 cc, but has 75 hp. I'd like to know something about the fuel consume of other similar cars. If you have such a car please send me information about it. The ask is for everybody who read it.

Thank you.

Hi!

I've just bought this car myself, Kadett 1.3 LS, 1988. I am looking for some on-line repair manuals that would be free for download as I cannot pay on-line from where I am...

Anybody knows some good links?

Thank you very much,
