Hello, I drove an Omega 2.2 ED (9/2001, 29.500 km) sample. I liked the car very much and I would like to buy it. I still have a few questions to the Omega experts: 1. At 40-50 kmh you can hear “beat noise” (BUUBBUUBBUUB) from the tires, but the steering remains calm. Did the tires flatten and iron? The car is definitely standing at the dealer’s for a few months. Does a balanced tire help? Or is it possibly due to the brakes? 2. With very slow Fa The dealer said that this was normal with 235/45 R17 tyres with a rough profile. Is that true? 3. The steering wheel squeaks during steering movements until the stop. “Only” a processing error (leather squeaks)? 4. The car still has a factory warranty until 9/2003. Can we extend the warranty? Thank you in advance. Hopefully I don’t hear anything bad from you, I absolutely want to have the car. Xilef

Hello everyone, I don’t look through that anymore. when I bought this car two weeks ago I stayed on the motorway because of an alternator damage. that was near Kassel and I had to go to Hamburg. In Kassel an exchange alternator was installed. After installation of the alternator we found that the control light is still shining, but the battery was charged, well, so I came to Hamburg and after a few days the same as on the highway, I stayed there again this time I thought it was all just because of the battery so and therefore the control light was lit. I first went off and bought me a battery with the hope that the control light finally disappeared, but negative. After that I drove to the car self-help to peek what is really going on. And tataaa there was, the idiots in Kassel have connected the connection to D+ line wrongly, before joy I have you again properly screwed on battery again clamped, engine started, but without success the charging control light continued to glow!!! Now I am really desperate and don’t know any more. for the replacement alternator I flipped exactly 250€ in Kassel. Here costs a new exactly 313€ And the Austaus alternator I can no longer give back, since it should have no guarantee 🙁 ! at the moment the car runs because it has got a new battery but does not know to where d he would suffice 🙁 my question to you: – is maybe also the replacement alternator defective? – is perhaps still where else a mistake? – did someone else have the same problem? for your help I am very grateful MfG

Now I have it in writing: OPEL writes to me on request: “We are pleased that we can count you among the loyal customers of our company. We thank you very much for the trust we have placed in this place. All the more we regret that you have been annoyed and insecure about the future of the Opel Omega model. Regarding your request, we inform you that the production of the Opel Omega will be discontinued shortly. A successor model Unfortunately, there will not be any direct connection. Therefore, the vehicle will first be replaced by the models Signum and Vectra Caravan. Whether and when we offer a limousine similar to the Opel Omega, we unfortunately cannot inform you at this time. “Dear Mr. .., even if we cannot meet your personal wishes this time, we hope that you will give us again the chance in the future, you from the equipment offer a What do you think of this??? I find it a pity and think OPEL makes a big mistake.

a few days ago I bought an omega caravan 2.5td with cd equipment, bj.99, this car has xenon headlights and a hands-free device. great you will say, nice for you. but I have a problem. I don’t know if this car has e.g. Esp, tc or etc.. whether it has an automatic level control, whether the hands-free device has been installed factory-side bla bla bla… unfortunately I could not get the necessary information from the seller, was ordered at opel.de and google.de everything ransacked for product brochures or similar, so that I can inform myself about this year of construction, unfortunately in vain. however, did not have the opportunity to go friendly yet. does someone have a tip?

Hello again I need your tips/experiences again my Omega B Caravan DTI with Xenon now has water in one of the headlights. On the whole glass of the headlight hang right drops from the inside. It can’t be normal, since the other headlight has nothing??? Thank you for your answers.

hello to everyone! I am new in this forum, but I also see “blinder” already…. the problems with the “omnibus” are always the same 😉 but now what (at least for me) new: since a few days my omega x20xev (2l 16v) loses, besides the countless other problems, now also cool water as soon as the climate runs. this alone is already annoying enough in this weather, but yesterday when driving he also quickly got a good it water glass full of the cooking stuff on the feet “pilled”. and that in open flaps….*real enthusiasm climbs up* 😉 tomorrow so off to the friendly. he said after a short pressure test (with which he had flooded the driver’s footroom with it just as quickly) that the “heater” is defective… and depending on the defect can thus also “break” ?!? new part “moderate” 550 euro…installation 450 euro !!! my questions to you: maybe someone knows a “something” cheaper alternative ? or can you exchange the part villeicht yourself or repair (let) ? and ..where does the part actually sit exactly ? above the footroom I can only see the air channels, where ́s always running out. I still noticed that water in the engine room drips as soon as the climate runs. (by the driver side, near the water hose that go into the inner room) how does that work ??? there ́s maybe a kind of flow channel, or so ? or comes ́s vie That’s exactly why I hope that someone from you has an idea for it… 1000 bugs for it are easy for me to be too expensive for a 96`er… greeting alex

Hello friends of the well-kept motorsports. I’m thinking of going to the friendly with my Omega 2,0 16V Bj 3/98 and asking him for an update for the engine software. Does anyone of you know if it’s worth doing something for my year of construction, if there is such a thing and what it costs??? Since I don’t have any power at all and a slightly increased fuel consumption, you could add it, right? Thank you for your information!

Hi all, I have a question regarding cruise control: Vehicle: Omega B 3.0V6 Sport, BJ 1997, model year 98. Would like to retrofit a cruise control with my omi. I already have the turn signal lever with the corresponding switches. Wiring harness is also prepared, i.e. the 4-pole plug is on the steering stick lever and the plug for the control unit in the engine compartment is also available. Unfortunately I can not get the contact plug on the steering stick switch because there are 2 noses, which are in the same Now my question: May I unwrapping these (are cast out of Kunsstoff) or have one function. Inside each is a spiral made of metal, which in my opinion have no special function. I still have to install the actuator with the electronic gas train (used by an MV6). Can all this then work after Tech2 activation or are there problems? I am grateful for any tip. Greeting Omibilli

Hallöle municipality, my omi is bitching again and that is: I only noticed it the other day when I wanted to turn and the turn signal just didn’t go. Immediately stopped and looked left or right was no matter my omi just didn’t want to blink. Then I pressed Just for Fun on the warning blink button and Oppla went suddenly again. Also the blinking left to right went. Earlier I had the same problem again and it didn’t work again. (Neither to L or R) But after I went to the War The turn signal went again **grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr* Hilfeeeeeeee Thank you )

The observation: – In the cold state the idle runs sporadically magically unround. I also noticed a “easy shivering” of the Omi ́s. – In the warm state I still notice an unround idle. However, without the “sweaking”, but an even slight fluctuation between 400 and 500 revolutions. – After fast highway rides the idle is extremely unround. Sinks partly from 600 revolutions abruptly to almost 300 revolutions, so that I fear that he will go out In all cases I can also observe this whenever the speed drops, in the same rhythm also the lighting of my MID falls off. Must not add that my engine is “beautiful” oiled from the outside…but have neither oil loss, nor water in the oil and also no blue exhaust gases. But must say that the oil loss has been reduced so slowly. (Probably that it had something to do with this car previously about 3 months in winter and in the free standing only without being moved. u sein..schande) Power losses I can’t hear either and car also depends well on the gas. I’m helpless with the idle. Did anyone ever have this problem?
