The Opel 2000 originally used circulating blower kit #FO-FDHB5-N, which has been replaced by #FO-HB9. We will be offering this kit in the near future, but can still replace the original blower with a high quality aftermarket replacement, which prevents you from having to replace your existing kit. Call us directly and we'll be happy to discuss your options.
After nearly a generation struggling for profits and market share in Europe, Opel and its sister brand in the United Kingdom, Vauxhall, have a chance to join a team that is gaining share, boosting profitability and amassing scale in the cutthroat European market.
More than metal and vehicle architecture, more than marketing and brand perception, more than nearly 20 years of continual restructuring and recurring carping in the German press, the cold, hard numbers tell the story.
Over 17 consecutive years between 2000 and 2016, the company said when it announced its deal with PSA earlier this month, GM lost a total of $22.5 billion in Europe. Its market share slipped nearly 35 percent to 5.7 percent, making it roughly 75 percent smaller across Europe than arch-rival Volkswagen AG.
Stemming losses enough to hold a middling market position that may or may not break even in any given year is hardly the stuff of an encouraging investment thesis. Barra and President Dan Ammann, a former Wall Street banker, appear to understand this with far more clarity than their predecessors.
In the first half of last year, the study said, the Ford brand in Europe booked 973 euros of profit per vehicle. Peugeot-Citron, the primary brands of PSA, collected 844 euros per vehicle. Opel, by comparison, pocketed 190 euros per vehicle.
Ugh. Numbers like that should persuade even the most die-hard GM booster inside Opel (to the extent there are very many) that continuing Detroit ownership is not likely to yield a materially different result.
The 2000 Opel Omega was part of the same Omega generation produced from 1994 - 2003. Omega's of this generation consist of the same major mechanical parts with only minor variations from year to year.
