Opel manufacturer position
Opel is not sold new through a mainstream NZ distributor today; examples may appear as private imports or former Australian-delivered vehicles. Petrol and diesel Stellantis architectures need fast drainage after misfuel.
Fuel system notes
- Shares PSA/Stellantis pump modules with Peugeot and Citroën cousins.
- AdBlue on SCR diesels — separate filler from diesel.
- Confirm LHD/RHD and market spec before assuming tank capacity.

Not through a current NZ-new Opel range — treat as import or ex-AU vehicle and follow Stellantis service data for the platform.
Petrol in an Opel diesel import?
