1998 Vauxhall Omega GLS (AC) 2.0 petrol from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Very comfy better MPG than V6!!
Faults:
Dash display needed replacing as most of the bulbs had blown and gauges not working.
Idle valve needed replacing due to poor idle.
Fuel gauge (in tank sensor replaced)
Camcover gasket leaking, replaced myself using haynes manual.
General Comments:
Very comfy car ideal for long distances. All the problems above were wrong with the car when I brought it. I did not notice any of them on test drive!! Realy comfy seats and driving position, the AC works realy well and its got all the electrics that you need. I have fitted 17" alloys to it with 225/45/17 tyres which has improved the handling, but the ride is still good. I have noticed some wheel vibration recently and have found (garage found!) that the N/S/F steering idler is worn to excess which is prob causing play and vibration. I am getting this replaced £53 for the part.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

A sure way to find that oil leak is to clean the underside of your car! Looking for a black cat in a room with the lights off can be tricky, if you understand the analogy.
