Tank vent valve defect symptoms Opel Adam from model year 2018
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
An Opel Adam from 2014 is experiencing issues such as the check engine light being on, loss of power, rough engine running, jerking during acceleration, stalling, and shuddering at idle. These symptoms suggest a potential defect in the tank ventilation system, possibly due to clogged or cracked hoses. The recommended solution is to have the hoses checked, cleaned, and possibly replaced at a workshop, as similar issues in other vehicles were resolved this way.

Hey, my Adam has 51687 km on it and was recently serviced. Your experiences sound similar to my problems. I'll probably have the hoses checked too. Thanks for the tip! Greetings!

Hey, that sounds like a really good idea to have the Adam checked for the hoses. With my Opel Adam (also 2014), I had exactly the same symptoms as you describe - check engine light, loss of power, unstable engine, etc. My mechanic also said at the time that blocked or cracked hoses are often to blame. In my case, this was actually confirmed. They cleaned the hoses in the workshop and replaced some of them, after which the car ran like clockwork again. It also cost me about 180 euros, but it was definitely the solution to the problem. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it can be fixed just as quickly on your Adam! Let me know how it goes when you've been to the workshop. Greetings!

Hey, thanks for the confirmation, that helps me. I'll have the workshop check out the hoses then. I hope that this is the only problem I have and that it can be fixed quickly. I'll let you know how it goes as soon as I've been to the workshop. Greetings!

Hey, I recently had similar problems with my Opel Corsa (2016). The symptoms were almost identical - check engine light on, uneven engine running and jerking. My mechanic then discovered that some hoses were clogged, which was the cause of the problems. I only have a little experience with cars, so I went to the garage. They cleaned and replaced the hoses, which cost me 175 euros. After that, the Corsa ran perfectly again. What exactly are the symptoms of your car and what year was it built? Maybe I can then give you a few more specific tips. Good luck!
