Hi I just wanted to present my experience with the Omega 3.0 12 V (177 hp) inline engine. My father had bought the 3.0 as a combination with 4-speed automatic. In my opinion the engine is really a cream piece !!! His buddy had bought the same car at the same time but with 5-speed manual gear. Both I believe were entered with 220 km/h in the papers. But according to the speedometer both were faster. With automatic: On straight distance approx. 260- 265 km/h !!! !!! according to Tacho (for me to this day hard to understand. ) With handshift: 245 km/h at approx. 6800 rpm in the limiter. The automatic turned even at 265 km/h only approx. 6200 rpm. Both had a fuel consumption of approx. 12 liters even with fast driving !!! Many modern 6-cylinders would be happy if they would consume so much with normal driving mode. My father then sold the car with approx. 100000 KM to a friend. And then again to another acquaintance. The last time I found out by chance, the car now has 385000 KM down and should not have any technical defects up to some rust spots on the body. That’s what I call engine construction !!! But please only the in-line engines !!!! I didn’t hear so much about the V engines. The Vectra I 500 2.5 V6 with 195 Irmscher PS from my buddy had already consumed after 50000 KM 1 liter of oil on 500 KM and was quite at the end !!! GRUß
