Hey, that sounds really reassuring that you had exactly the same problem and were able to solve it well. It would be really great if you could send me the contact details of your mechanic! Do you happen to remember how much the whole thing cost you? And did anything else come up afterwards, or did everything run smoothly afterwards? Thank you and best regards!

Hey, I'm glad it's helping you! Sure, I'll send you the contact details right over. Now, as for the cost, I had to fork out €360 for the whole thing. The fault in the crankcase ventilation was the culprit and this was fixed by my mechanic. In retrospect, everything went well, no further problems and my car is now running like a champ again. So, don't worry, your Opel will soon be running again! Greetings!

Hey, thanks for the quick help. I'm really reassured now and look forward to contacting your mechanic soon. And €360 doesn't sound cheap, but it seems like a reasonable amount for a proper repair. I'm just glad the problem didn't recur afterwards, that would have been my main concern. Your positive experience makes me feel a bit more relaxed about the whole thing. Thank you also for the offer of contact details. I'll get in touch if I have any further questions! Take care and best regards!

Hey, well, that sounds familiar. I somehow had the same symptoms with my Opel Astra (gasoline engine, built in 2012). The thing is, it was actually the crankcase ventilation. At first I thought it was something minor, but realized it was more serious. It can lead to engine damage if you don't fix it in time, so I would advise you not to take it lightly. And yes, it's important to find a reliable mechanic. The guy who fixed my Astra really knew his stuff. I can send you his contact details if you want. Stay calm, it will work out. Best regards!
