I need a positive as well as a negative one from you. A well-known one of me would like to buy a different car soon. At the moment he drives Astra G Caravan 2.0 DTI. The next car should be bigger, a station wagon and a diesel. Price should be between 10,000 and 12,000euro. So for the choice of Vectra C Caravan 1.9 CDTI 150PS or Omega B Caravan 2.5DTI 150PS. Where are the advantages or disadvantages now? Both are at the same level in space. In my opinion, the rear drive is better suited. With the engines it looks similar. Drall flap problems have both engines. In the 1.9 case the turbochargers die quite often, with the 2.5 case a injection nozzle is often broken. With the gears both are quite problemless. What else to consider or what would be a purchase decision for you. Environmental plaque yellow or green please skip out, that is known.

Hello wanted to listen to what experiences you have had with the Omega as a tractor. My caravan 2,2dti would have to pull a horse trailer often. It is a tandem trailer with 2to zul. ges. Gew.

The problem: I start my Omega (2.0 16 V XEV20) and the battery control light lights up. Reversal meter, on-board computer no function. My idea was that the alternator was broken. The original is a Delco-Remy. I ordered an exchange machine from inexpensive light engines.de and had it installed today. Before that everything went normal and wonderful and now the control light for battery again shines and everything else is dead. Now I thought to put the controller on. I don’t find it or do I even know if it is interchangeable at all. According to the forum, this is probably only the case with a Bosch-LiMa. My replacement device is a Value-Tec 100A. I am now completely perplexed and especially dependent on my car. I would be very grateful for advice.

Evening, no, I’m already in the right forum….just want to know the opinion of my previous “supervisors” here….they certainly also know from Hab me today a car for the work. A Golf II GT, special edition, BJ. 91, verifiably back to the birth original 85000 KM, TÜV until 10.12, (the last Tüv was before 1600KM without defects), zero rust (seeming to be hollow-space-sealed, here and there the wax already ran out) or bumps, already converted to Eur o 3, I couldn’t find a single defect (except on unsightly gear bag), Really good condition inside as outside, 8 compartment matured, New summer tires on top BBS Alu`s (original), nix clattert nix rappelt….plus complete timing belt set with tension rollers and the clever book “now I help myself” included. Oh yes, exhaust is also new Although old, but top, slip 500 euros. Do I cheat, or did he give me the car as good as he did? Already the new tires come on 2 50 euros… and I would have needed them now with my great Astra… LG Markus

HI I have a question about the cooler of meimem Omi MV 6 Caravan. The cooler looks very narrow from the cooler boxes on the sides are twice as wide. The cooler of my former Senator B 3,0 i has filled the cooler boxes fully and he also had the double number of coolers. Can it be that I might have a wrong cooler in meimem Omi B ???? (possibly from the 4 cylinder ) because I had the problem in caravan operation last year that in the mountains ( passes ) the Temperature went over 100 ° and I could only block that in which I switched off air conditioning ; I never needed that with my senator!!!! Maybe someone has a good tip for me. ps Bin Kfz mechanic and could also make any things myself but I currently lack the idea. MFG Heinseni

Moin, I’ve improved a little… and given me an Omega. This morning I’ll pick him up, then on Monday there’s an appointment with the gas retrofitter. May the cracker be with me!! Photos of the gas conversion follow as soon as the car is back with me!!

Hello, since I inherited an Astra from opel in 2003 I am convinced and would like to buy a Opel Omega 1997 2.5l V6 Caravan the car has run 165,000km! Optic 1a but what should I pay attention to what are common mistakes, flaws, etc. How is the consumption? According to information for combined 10,5l but that seems to me quite little for nen 6 Zylinden! With kind regards D. Wilkenda’s honored object

Hi. A friend of mine has a Vectra combo with the X20XEV in it. Now he has a hole in the piston. Must have happened through the spark plug. I don’t know more exactly. The piston is not fixed but rotates still busy with, but just zero compression. My question, can you change the piston, repair it or should you look for a new engine? MfG Dennis

Since I am a new A OMi driver I have a problem with the operation of some shutters and buttons. Could someone help me ? The “S” button on the automatic circuit = Sport? City? The snowflakes button to the right of the circuit =? The reading lights, who do they go on? I thank you in advance…

Hello guys. I’ve been playing with the idea of buying my Omega station wagon for a while. Should a cheaper (as always) be used. Now my question(s) about you. What’s meaningful? The 85kw was a bit overwhelmed by the A-Omega. Since it has to be to pull, it’s more likely to start from the 100kw. Which engines are susceptible or where are the diseases? Apart from the rust, which probably had a permanent subscription at Opel, I read a lot about defective head seals or crackers. the six-cylinders, although the one of the performance is of course most likely to appeal to me. Did the diesels do something? Many questions, I know. But if anyone has any idea of these models, then probably her here. Thank you and best regards Ralf
