244 Opel Service, maintenanceDiesel fuel filter On the event of engine oil change, have
fuel filter checked for possible water
residue by a workshop.
Illumination of A indicates water in the
fuel filter 3.
Have fuel filter checked at shorter intervals
if the vehicle is subjected to extreme
operating conditions such as high humidity
(primarily in coastal areas), extremely high
or low outside temperatures and
substantially varying daytime and
night-time temperatures.
Coolant The coolant provid es anti-freeze
protection down to approx. -28 C. .
Picture no: 18148s.tif
Antifreeze and corrosion protection
Have the concentration of the radiator
contents tested by a workshop before
winter starts. The amount of
antifreezemust provide protection down to
approx. -28 C. A lower antifreeze
concentration will reduce the amount of
protection from fros t and corrosion. Add
antifreeze if necessary.
If coolant loss is topped up with water,
have concentration checked and add
antifreeze if necessary.
Caution
Only use approved anti-freeze.
Coolant additives used to give addi-
tional protection aga inst corrosion and
prevention against small leaks can lead
to functional problems. No liability is
accepted for damage caused by using
coolant additives.

Warning
Antifreeze is a danger to health; it must
therefore be kept in the original con-
tainer and out of the reach of children.

Protecting electronic components In order to prevent faults in electronic
components in the electrical system, never
connect or disconnect battery with engine
running or ignition switched on. Never start
engine with battery disconnected, e.g.
when starting using jump leads.
To avoid damaging th e vehicle, do not
make any modifications to the electrical
system, e. g. connecting additional
consumers or tampering with electronic
control units (chip tuning).
Laying the vehicle up for a long
period of time If the vehicle is to be laid up for several
months, the following work should be
undertaken to prevent damage:
z Wash and wax the vehicle 3228.
z Have the wax in the engine
compartment and underbody checked.
z Clean and preserve rubber seals.
z Change engine oil.
z Check antifreeze and corrosion
protection 3244.
z Check coolant level, add antifreeze if
necessary 3245.
z Drain the windscreen washer system.
z Increase tyre pressure to value given for
full load 3264. z
Park the vehicle in dry and well
ventilated place. Select first gear or
reverse gear, and with automatic
transmission 3 move selector lever to P.
Use chocks or something similar to
prevent vehicle from rolling.
z Do not apply hand brake.
z Disconnect the clamp from the negative
terminal of the vehicle battery.
Putting the vehicle back into
servicePerform the following work before
recommissioning the vehicle:
zConnect the clamp to the negative
terminal of the vehicle battery.
z Check tyre pressure 3264.
z Top up windscreen washer system 3248.
z Check engine oil level 3242.
z Check coolant level 3245.
z Fit the number plate if necessary.

Warning
Electronic ignition systems generate very
high voltages. Do not touch the ignition
system; high voltage can be fatal.
