  • FOH – the never ending story

    Quotation: Original written by Axcell I knew it! I am certainly not a stubborn dog and go in there very friendly. With the screws with nuts for the spring legs it started already. “Which?” sitting actually only below. But we still got regulated. The self-securing screws for the brake carrier were then already too much. “Brem carrier? I don’t know!” The self-securing nuts for the two track rod heads on axle carriers were then already too much . I have to know the size, M12, M14 or whatever. On demand, if there are differences with the X20XEV, he said yes. Even with vehicle registration no progress. Then I said: I best come back with all the screws. Did he mean: Do not bring the screws with you, measure them!What does FOH mean? Friendly Opel dealer or friend without brain? Did everything photographed, measured, put a table and then go tomorrow with the My car still likes bucks. Greetings Axcell Greetings Axcell

  • Ask a completely different question…..ebay

    sorry but I am at the moment forgiven because I have never had problems with ebay before. all this started on 29.3.2004 when I bought something at ebay again. the whole thing made + shipping 70€ off. so in the week I’m happy to go to the bank and transferred it. then I waited and waited. the provider then said it could be that something happened because he puts the stuff on the internet and another person then brings it to the post un d that he makes me a replacement pack. that’s now already 2 weeks ago. today he wrote me back that I had pech and that’s just ebay. in any case I’ll prove that I kept it. he also said that he got the money. and if I had got the pack, I would have had to sign something in the post that I got it but it wasn’t like that. so I have proof for the transfer and for that I didn’t get anything. now the question arises what I can do and how I get my money back (at least one part). would really be CLASS of you if you could help me with it. sorry that I’m annoying you with it. but I have noticed that some people here also often have something to do with ebay and that might help me. mfg Roland

  • Opel Omega B – the last crap

    Hi guys! sorry because of my opinion, but I’m totally behind it. I’ve already driven a car, but the omega b is the last one. I bought an omega b build year 98 with almost 90000 km about 6 months ago. the car made a very good impression so far. sporty tuned with dvd player + 4 screens, navi, standing heating and and and and. the car was offered to me via an opel dealer. short time later the whole angry started with this hell-maschine. only d first the car was offered to me via an opel dealer. as well known empty running problem. then it clapped in the engine room. further the car started to drag and squeak while braking to the left. now all of a sudden the glove compartment does not open and and and and and. it are all almost only petty things, but I had such a cram with no other car. since one thinks that one buys oneself a decent car (9/98 – 90tkm, 2.0 16v with complete equipment) and then such things. so I am absolutely mad at such a car. my neck is size r like the consumption of the ollen box. sorry, but I had to get rid of my annoyance. maybe you find a reason why I shouldn’t drive this thing to the wall, should I try it again with the omega? so I’m absolutely tired!!!! gruss DB7

  • Marder……I’m going to be a murderer!!

    Hey guys, last night on the BAB I experienced another Omega-Odysee. I wanted to give my omi after 250km normal Fhart again the spores, when with 200 things suddenly the temperature warning lamp lights up. Quickly out to the next parking lot and look. Was already already a puddle under the bonnet. Coolant. Drip, drip. Water refilled (thanks to the brummi driver!), water remained in, engine nevertheless immediately overheated again. So ADAC called and the Omi gle This morning then at the friendly…..Diagnosis: 3 heating lines knabbert from the marten. Cost for 3 new hoses, a new termostat incl. installation 380 Euros. And I get the omi at the earliest Monday! Great! I really get the vomit. And that despite Marderpiepser and Klostein in the engine room. I only hope that the whole thing didn’t cause further damage to the engine. *hoff* Beautiful weekend @all, Markus

  • Passenger airbag triggered by itself

    hello! it may not fit 100% into the vectra forum, but it is a fundamental question. the following scenario: a well-known one of me pre-annealed her omega td caravan, bj. 01/98 and when the ignition key was turned on, the driver’s airbag came out. the vehicle has of course confessed. the vehicle was immediately brought to the friendly after this action. there you behave very cautiously. my question: how would you proceed? does an airbag not have to be an autole Is there a culture for such cases, if yes, where? who can help here? thank you inge ..also interesting the presentation, if, for example, a possible enthusiast would have tied up the shoe at this moment….

  • Car dealers

    Moin, since I bought an old lady, my faithful Vectra, who accompanied me for 317,000 km, has to give way. So I advertised him on some internet platforms, e.g. Autoscout. The car is of course a found food for the flying dealers, the cars to the Orient, or the Eastern Block. Most of them I have hidden due to their price ideas. Now one of the supposedly largest car importers of Austria has registered. Curiously enough, they did not have Fir They even want to buy the car in advance and have it picked up by a freight forwarder. What should I think of such offers? Has anyone ever gained experience with such “importers”? Write me your opinion about it. Thank you Kai

  • Speed variations 2.5 td

    I have to get rid of my problem. motor running in the stand warning flasher is turned on motr speed takes about 100 – 150 rpm with the turn on of the lights off, when the lights are off the speed comes back to where it should go. sometimes the speed goes down so far and up that the whole car shakes. it comes even worse! with the switched on air conditioning can not be parked any more, as soon as in the low speed over the clutch is kicked the speed also goes into the cellar sometimes the engine dies off and the battery symbol lights up, restart and again everything in the lot. so I don’t kapiers. I find it crass like the motor buzzes when the warning flasher is turned on or I press the window lifter or I turn the steering wheel mis to hit… oh man, as if I didn’t have enough problems with the omega. am curious about your directions and inspirations! gruss support

  • How to eliminate cigarette stench??

    Hello Junx, now that it’s getting a little more pleasant out there that you can ride a bike and a motorbike, my Omega has a little bit of peace in front of me again and is mostly only standing in the garage. If I get in after a day or two, I’d like to get out of the car right away… .. It went well over the winter, but now that the temperature rises, the really disgusting cigarettes “scent” come back to wear. What can I do about it / leave it? I don’t think of miracle trees What, because they don’t fight the cause, but stink even more pathetic. I have cleaned the leather completely with leather care products and sealed it again – so I think that the cause lies rather in the carpets, in the sky and possibly the soft plastics. Does anyone have experience with the “Febreeze” (however that is written) against cigarette smoke? Is that still true? Don’t find it in the usual supermarkets any more. Get rid of smoke? If this goes on all summer, then I will drive Omega again when the temp. sinks below 15°C again! Am open to many suggestions – actually the professional flushings (I believe with some oxygen mixture) are what, or is that just money bag tailoring?? Thank you & greetings from the Taunus… 😉

  • deeper with level and cold start smoke

    Hi, I’ve asked 2 little questions, I’ve already been looking for nothing to do with the omi…. 1.how about laying deeper if there’s a level regulation in it??????? can you reprogram it or do I have to turn it off (does that work so easily???) or there are special springs for level??? 2. when my omi is cold and I start it, first comes a small blue cloud, not much!! and just so the first turn around. motor runs absulut clean and round, no loss of performance can be seen. I tried it today and it’s enough to let the engine run for 3 minutes, if you turn it off and leave it standing for 5 minutes and then turn it on again, there’s nothing to see… what can that be?? it can be because the car was previously driven by a woman and 90% city traffic, thus never seen high speeds, so that it has to be driven in the first place, because it also has the impression that it has already become less t since I have it, don’t think I’m imagining it or can it lie on the oil??? that it’s too thin (0w40 fullsyn. by castrol) thank you greet Alex
