Common problems of the Opel Meriva B

Model: Vauxhall Meriva MK 2, Meriva B - Years 2010-2017

In this video we see what are the most common problems if you want to buy a used Opel Meriva B: The naturally aspirated model had 100 hp and was only available with a 5-speed manual gearbox, while the turbo model had 120 and 140 hp with 6-speed or automatic gearbox: both started from a 1.4 engine. The Diesel version had a 1.3 MultiJet TDI or the 1.7 CDTi Isuzu engine, later replaced by the 1.6 95/110 and 136 hp. The company also offers a 120 hp LPG version. As for the diesel version, it had a power loss due to the EGR valves that tended to get dirty a lot, and poor communication between the control units, with fault code 68; In general, there are vibrations and noises during acceleration and at idle. Sometimes the flywheel needs to be replaced. There are problems with the clutch on the manual gearbox, and in some versions it was necessary to intervene on the central locking system. A critical point for all Opel cars in general is the exhaust system, and a poor resistance of the paint.
