Front-wheel drive OPEL ASCONA models

Front-wheel drive Opel Ascona models appeared in August 1981 and replaced earlier rear-wheel drive models. At the same time, certain modifications to the body were made. Initially, front-wheel drive models were available as a two- or four-door Saloon or a 5-door Hatchback. In 1983, the 5-door Estate appeared.

On all models, the engine and transmission are transversely mounted. Initially, models were produced with an engine capacity of 1.3, 1.6 or 1.8 liters. In 1987, a 2.0 liter engine began to be installed on some models. The manual transmission can be 4- or 5-speed, automatic - 3-speed.

Two-door Opel Ascona Convertible (cabriolet) began production in October 1985.

Depending on the model, various finishing options for the machine and its equipment are possible.

The models under consideration should not present any particular problems for repairs at home. They have a simple design and good access to all service points.
