Front-wheel drive models OPEL ASCONA (Opel Ascona C)

Front-wheel drive Opel Ascona models appeared in August 1981 and replaced the 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 five-door Hatchback. In 1983, a five-door Estate was added.

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

The two-door Opel Ascona Convertible (cabriolet) began to be produced in October 1985.

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

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