Opel Speedster

The Opel Speedster, also known Opel VX220 and Daewoo Speedster, was first introduced in 2000. This is a UK-built, midengined, targa-topped, 2 seated sports car from Opel. Available in both right-hand drive and lefthand drive, its top speed was 242 km/h with acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds. The car shared much in common with the Lotus Elise, yet Opel claimed few parts were interchangeable. Both cars are characterised by strong performance, and sharp handling. The Speedster utilizes an aluminium chassis tub that weighs only 72 kg (159 lb). The car also features bodywork made entirely of glass-reinforced plastic (GRP). The entire car weighs only 875 kg (1,929 lb), which made it 100 kg (220 lb) lighter than the similarly-sized Toyota MR2.

Opel Speedster FAQ's

How do I change a flat tire on an Opel Speedster?

To change a flat tire on an Opel Speedster, first, locate the spare tire, jack, and lug wrench. Loosen the lug nuts on the flat tire using the lug wrench, but do not remove them yet. Position the jack under the recommended jacking point and raise the vehicle until the flat tire is off the ground. Remove the lug nuts completely and take off the flat tire. Install the spare tire onto the wheel hub and tighten the lug nuts by hand. Lower the vehicle using the jack and then fully tighten the lug nuts using the lug wrench.

How do I change the oil in an Opel Speedster?

To change the oil in an Opel Speedster, you will need to locate the oil drain plug underneath the engine and remove it using a wrench. Once the plug is removed, allow the old oil to drain completely into a suitable container. Afterward, replace the drain plug and refill the engine with the recommended amount and type of oil specified in the Opel Speedster automotive repair manual.

How do I check the brake fluid level in an Opel Speedster?

To check the brake fluid level in an Opel Speedster, locate the brake fluid reservoir, which is usually located near the firewall on the driver's side of the engine compartment. The reservoir is typically transparent, allowing you to see the fluid level. Ensure that the vehicle is on a level surface and remove the reservoir cap. The fluid level should be between the minimum and maximum markings on the reservoir. If the level is low, add the recommended type of brake fluid as specified in the Opel Speedster automotive repair manual.

How do I replace the air filter in an Opel Speedster?

To replace the air filter in an Opel Speedster, open the hood and locate the air filter housing, which is usually a rectangular or cylindrical box. Undo the clips or screws holding the housing together and carefully remove the old air filter. Inspect the housing for any debris or dirt and clean it if necessary. Install the new air filter into the housing, ensuring that it fits securely, and then reassemble the air filter housing.

How often should I replace the spark plugs in an Opel Speedster?

It is recommended to replace the spark plugs in an Opel Speedster every 30,000 to 45,000 miles, or as specified in the Opel Speedster automotive repair manual. Regularly inspect the spark plugs for signs of wear, such as erosion or fouling, and replace them if necessary. Properly functioning spark plugs are essential for the efficient combustion of fuel and optimal engine performance.
