Opel Adam (2012) no longer starts: Possible causes and experiences with mechanics
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A 2012 Opel Adam is having starting problems, with the engine stalling and a warning light appearing on the speedometer. A faulty water sensor is suspected. A similar issue in an Opel Corsa was resolved by repairing a faulty cable connection to the temperature sensor, which had disrupted the electronics. It is advised to have the car inspected and repaired immediately to prevent further damage and costs.

Hey, thanks for your input! Your experience sounds really helpful. Can you perhaps remember how expensive the whole thing was for you at the time? And have there been any further problems since then, or did everything run smoothly again afterwards? I'm grateful for any information!

Hey, sure, no problem! Repairing the cable connection cost me €365 at the time. That was a lot of money, but the problem has been over ever since. The malfunction of the water sensor was then fixed and I had no more problems. So, keep at it and get it repaired quickly, otherwise it will only get more expensive. Best regards and keep your chin up!

Thank you very much for your support, that helps me enormously! I will take the car to the garage as soon as possible and have the problem checked. The price you mentioned sounds reasonable given the circumstances. Hopefully everything will run smoothly again afterwards. Let's stay in touch! Take care and thanks again!

Hello, I know the problem well, I had similar symptoms with my Opel Corsa, built in 2015. In my case, it was the cable connection to the sensor that was defective. During the inspection, they found a corrupted connector on my temperature sensor, which messed up the entire electronics. I was really glad that it was only the cable connection and not the whole sensor. Could have been worse, could have damaged the engine. So yes, it does sound kind of serious. Remember, get it checked and repaired quickly. Good luck, buddy!
