No problem so far. And overnight, your Opel Rak E won't start more or has trouble starting. What is annoying is that we do not necessarily understand completely what the problem comes from. Since you necessarily missed your appointment, take the time to identify the problem. We will see in this file what will be the most common reasons and what to do for them identifier.
Your Opel Rak E battery is discharged
This is without a doubt the most common problem, and perhaps the easiest to fix. Your headlights of your Opel Rak E appear to have been on all night, the pilot in the passenger compartment of your car, or simply the keys on the ignition, etc. Anything that can consume electricity while the engine is off may be the root of the problem. However, this also happens as soon as the battery turns out to be much too old, or alternator. To check if the battery of your Opel Rak E is discharged there is a super affordable way. If it happens that the intensity of the headlights is low, that means it's a battery problem! However, if the headlights work very well, it means the problem is coming from somewhere else. To charge the battery, you most likely know how to do it, and you should always remember to have cable inside your trunk. It is still possible that the thimbles of the battery be oxidized. Then it is only necessary to open the hood and check if they are dirty. Then you can remove the material using a brush. In case it doesn't work, you will need to change the battery.
The starter on the Opel Rak E is worn out
This happens less often than a discharged battery, however it could still happen sometimes. To know what to do you need to know the role of a starter on your Opel Rak E. It is a kind of engine within the engine. Its role is different because it is completely electric. It is the latter which offers the possibility of starting the engine, and the electricity essential for its operation comes from the battery. To make it work it will sometimes be enough to strike several small strokes on its carcass so as to take off the coals and thus leave the electricity circulate.
The engine of your Opel Rak E is flooded
We don't wish you that. Sometimes it is still possible to start your Opel Rak E, however it also happens that the engine becomes irretrievably flooded. It's a thing that happens especially when it's cold. Generally, you will be able to understand this when we try to start and there is a strong gasoline smell. Sometimes it will be enough to wait about 20 minutes and the problem will be fixed. For petrol vehicles it is also possible to remove petrol at the level of spark plugs however this remains a manipulation not recommended for beginners mechanics.
Conclusion
If it happens that your Opel Rak E does not start, it could come from a electric problem and less frequently of a engine problem. You now have solutions to spot the problem, if despite all the latter persists, do not hesitate to go to a professional, they are paid for it after all! Be careful and have a good ride.
