The engine is considered reliable and all its problems are related to natural wear and tear. Most Opel owners on forums complain about ignition system failures. The second most popular issue is the failure of various sensors. Hydraulic lifters may make noise due to low-quality oil on high mileage. The timing belt lasts approximately 50-60 thousand km, however, if it breaks, the valves do not bend.
