Opel Kadett 1984 – 1991 Haynes Service and Repair Manual

The Opel Kadett repair manual is supplied with hundreds of detailed photos so that the reader can master the text as quickly as possible and follow the instructions for using, maintaining or repairing his four-wheel partner exactly. There are consistent descriptions of preventive procedures within the framework of technical maintenance, their regulations, and features of implementation with various tools and materials.

In the final chapter of the manual presents all the Opel Kadett wiring diagrams, which are part of a detailed chapter on the car’s electrical equipment. As a rule, the technical literature is acquired by people who are ready for independent actions with the car – diagnostics and repair of Opel Kadett, because repairing the car with their own hands gives new opportunities, spares the driver’s nerves, saves his finances and time. You can also discuss the exact stages of the upcoming repair with the master of the service center, to be sure of the expediency of the repair and the exact cost of services.

The second generation Opel Kadett is available with four petrol engines: 1.2 litre OHV and 1.3, 1.6 and 1.8 litre OHC. The 1.8 litre versions are fitted with fuel injection. A 1.6 diesel engine is also available, but is not dealt with in this manual. Both OHV and OHC engines are well proven designs and, provided regular maintenance is carried out, are unlikely to give trouble. The Estate is only fitted with the 1.3 or 1.6 engine. A Van is available, and with the exception of the version which has leaf spring rear suspension, closely resembles the passenger car range. Transmission and running gear follow established Opel front-wheel-drive practice. Manual transmission is either four or five-speed; automatic transmission is available on most models. These are attractive, comfortable, well-equipped vehicles, requiring minimal maintenance, with most service and repair tasks being straightforward.
