  • New Holden as Omega Successor

    While Opel has been waiting for a decent omega successor for years, Australian GM daughter Holden is allowed to develop and build a new mid-size saloon including a new rear drive platform. What has come out of this can be seen quite well here:http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j70/norbs_photos/4.jpg http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j70/norbs_photos/1.jpg http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j70/norbs_photos/9.jpg While the old Holden Commodore even more or less a relabelled Omega, this new model was completely developed at Holden in Australia. Why didn’t they just make a joint project out of it that could also have benefited Opel? Give the car an Opel grill, decent engines and fair prices and zack would have Opel again a chic and especially sporty saloon of the upper middle class.

  • Repairs OMEGA 2.0l 16V

    Would like to give an overview of what happens to such a LOPEZ product in 8 years and 140,000km. The price difference to the Mercedes or BMW has been compensated relatively quickly by the expensive repairs from the OMI, so the missing image is no alternative and is my last OPEL. It certainly did not lie at the OPEL staff, which OPEL soche built in the “upper class”. 1.) Engine stutters and goes off. After starting emergency program active. Nocke 2.) Engine switches back to emergency program. Crankshaft sensor defective. 3.) Light noise at the rear axle wheel bearings defective and replaced 4.) Omega all lights from on-road alternator defective. 5.) Engine speed fluctuates around 1000-2000 and sometimes goes off idle. Idle switch replaced 6.) In the deepest winter the heater does not work. Heat exchangers in the dashboard replaced, very expensive and expensive like all As that occur at the OMEGA Air conditioning failed in the hot summer compressor and capacitor exchanged 8.)Already again point 1 after 6 years camshaft sensor 9.)Lighter jerking between 2000-3000 rpm and when accelerating short interruption at 3000U/min ignition cable exchanged 10.) Exhaust manifold leaks planned and sealed 11.) In winter in great cold, the lock of the driver’s door closes only when inside temperature is present in the car. n and much more are added to an Omega driver over short or long to the normal inspection costs and wear parts such as water pump, timing belts, exhaust, brakes, clutch…. Too bad he is not rusted already after 8 years.

  • Honest opinion of you

    Moin, So it’s about BMW 525 i Bj 90 vs Calibra V6 Bj 96 (Meiner)…..everyday a buddy of mine had a friend driving this said BMW 525 i (original condition) now this good man meant that he could cut off my calli without any problems and demanded me out of it. I didn’t consider it because I don’t have such a childish thing in mind….nun but still my question would he really have put me away? I think it could have just come out for me…gr and the high weight of the BMW 1570 Kg to 1350 Kg (my) what do you think about it would interest me. Gruss Holle
