Opel Combo – collective page for the Corsa-based panel van, three- and four-cylinder engines from 44 to 96 kW, CDTI turbodiesels, gross weights from 1.5 to 2.5 tonnes
The Combo is Opel's compact, Corsa-based panel van for trades and courier services, built across several generations since the early 1990s. The model codes in the register – such as C-VAN Y1.7DTH or Z13DT – combine body code, displacement and engine-letter designation; CDTI denotes the direct-injection turbodiesel that replaced the older indirect-injection diesel units from the late 1990s onward. The series shares its platform and drivetrains with the corresponding generation of the Corsa.

The register lists 64 versions here with 44 to 96 kW from three- and four-cylinder engines, 1,199 to 1,956 cm³ displacement, kerb weights of 970 to 1,575 kg, gross vehicle weights of 1,470 to 2,510 kg, lengths of 4,230 to 4,753 mm and widths of 1,600 to 1,850 mm.
As a compact panel van, the Combo competes with the Citroën Berlingo, Peugeot Partner, VW Caddy and Fiat Doblo, serving mainly small trade businesses and courier and delivery services in urban traffic.
On a used example, check for corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, the condition of the dual-mass flywheel and turbocharger on the CDTI engines, and wear on the sliding-door mechanism; on older indirect-injection diesels, check the injection pump and glow-plug system. Spare parts are readily available through Opel's wide network as well as via Corsa parts.
