omega 2.5 6 cyl bmw engine run about
 

just bought this today for a run around for a coulple of months when I do some upgrading to the nissan :lol1:

whats the score with them, only bought it for the bm engine as I liked my old 330

probably get it chipped, zorst, 17's oh I need a front bumper:rolleyes:

any websites worth viewing?

The craic is: its crap. Dont expect anything like SE performance, as its massively de-tuned. (I assume that youre talking about the diesel, because the V6 isnt a BMW engine?)

I know its crap but a cheap diesel run around it is :sleep:

anybody with useful comments :wonder:

Now that people have seen you come the c*nt with me, further helpful comments are unlikely. Bell-end.

have you always been such a prick, get a life dick head :lol:

and if you think I was giving you a hard time in my second post, you must be joking:freak3:

you should see me when I have a go :o

Oh no! The scary man is going to fight with me on the internet!

so your from sheffield, attend any of the local meet, we should meet up :lol1:

Omega (Commodore)/Monaro, Carlton/Senator/Manta/Monza Related Infomation Required / Provided - Vauxhall Owners Network

yeah maybe, I'm getting it dropped off tomorrow so will see :wonder:

all I wanted was a cheap run around for a few months, then I'll probably scrap the heap :lol:

cheers for the link, will take a look :)

This one thread can just about sum up post-2004 Scoobynet :D

Omegas are nice enough mate but after the beemer i was expecting more of the same and it was a right let down. still they are a right lot cheaper than Beemers mine had been thrapped I think but it was poor. its a bit early to be kicking off isnt it?

yeah youre right, remember the good old days :freak3: ;)

I had a 330d for over a year, quality car:luxhello:

for abit of spare change it will have to do, as long as it does 30mpg I'm happy:)

that prick it really gets me going when a **** replys with "its ****" thanks for nothing, I could do without such **** comments tbh :rolleyes:

If it does 30mpg I will have it off you mate! :)

wow are they that bad, got around 50mpg in the bm with a modified ecu :cool:

will take it on a run to say sheffield and report back.........

are you also on the cage fighting circuit

If they are de-tuned then surely it can't be too difficulty to un-de-tune them back up to higher power levels.

The BMW engine its based on was only 143bhp in the 5-series, before it was dropped to 130bhp for the Omega.

The Omegas with this engine remind me of the 405 mi16..... Donar cars :p

The engines are noisey when cold, I think its the timing chain mainly....
I have a BM 325tds and I still like driving it after 2 years, My boss has an Omega and claimed it was really fast (for an old diesel), then he sold it and bought a 525tds and realised the difference in performance.

If the mileage is fairly sensible and the engine ok, don't scrap it a landy/range rover garage will have the engine, my local one buys cars as a whole to rip the engines out for Range Rovers. if look after the do clock up the miles well, mines on 260k without showing signs of dying yet, if the omega engines as restricted they will be less stressed so will go on longer if looked after.

Love it, in a BMW its wonderful, the minute it gets put in something else it may as well be an old Perkins taxi engine, even detuned it should still be pretty much the same engine.

Love the manly banter over an old Vauxhall, well done lads !

thanks, at last there appears someone talking sense :luxhello:

after someone wrote off my car tonight, the omega will have to be my daily driver :rolleyes:

stuffed myself full of painkillers and drank 6 cans to curb the pain :freak3:

Ouch Mike, at least you are in one piece!

Will trawl Fleabay for omegas otherwise i am thinking a Pug 306TD or such like:)

just need to mot it now and stick a tow bar under it :o

right off to leeds to get a gtr :norty:
