Opel Meriva Service Repair Workshop Manuals

Opel, the German automobile manufacturer began making the Opel Meriva in 2003 and ended production in 2017. Over the course of its 14-year production, Opel released two different generations of the Meriva. Owners of the Meriva as well as technicians that work on Opel vehicles can refer to an Opel Meriva workshop manual to keep their vehicles in good shape.

This front-engine, front wheel drive vehicle had five doors and was offered in both a mini MPV and compact MPV.

The first generation of the Opel Meriva was called the Meriva A and it was in production from 2003 until 2010. Opel based it on the third generation of the Opel Corsa C. The interior of the Opel Meriva was flexible and marketed as FlexSpace. The five seat vehicle had two rows but the second could slide forward or back. It also had the ability to be flattened into the floor which allowed for more space.

The Meriva A was offered in a number of different engine types ranging from a 1.4 L (petrol) all the way to a 1.8 L (turbocharged petrol). Opel also released a diesel engine too that had a 1.3 L engine. The Meriva was offered in two different manual versions and one automatic. Opel enthusiasts appreciated the options.

In 2010, the Meriva B was released which was in production until 2017. The second generation of the Opel Meriva was given some additional length which allowed for some extension in size. With a revised suspension layout, it was also given a floorplan similar to a seven-seater vehicle. Unlike the first generation Meriva, the second did not have as many engine options but rather the standard 1.4 L (petrol) and (turbo), as well as two diesel options. Some notable upgrades included the rear-hinged rear doors as well as a panoramic sunroof on top trim packages.

While the Opel Meriva only had a production run of 14 years, one can still find these vehicles today. They are scatted all over the world but mostly can be found in South American countries such as Brazil. Throughout its 14 year run, there were a number of facelifts that the Meriva received which was seen as advantageous to the automotive world.
