Title: 2.6 V6 Estate LPG
Post by: Biggun on 13 April 2008, 23:34:22

I have chance to buy an Omega 51plate 2.6 V6 Auto estate cdx gas converted 70K
Can anyone tell me did Vauxhall supply this as a dual fuel or has it been converted later?
Any one got 1 running on LPG if so whats your fuel consuption like?
Have you had any problems with the head?
What are these like?
thanks
Mike

I looked at a dual fuel Astra a few years back, & I was told that if it had a seperat fuel 'gauge' ie row of leds etc it had been done after market. A Vauxhall supplied dual fuel used the dash gauge for both lpg & petrol.

A 2.6 will have been converted.........vx never did em as a dual fuel........probably expect 15mpg around town.....25mpg on a run......find out what type of conversion it is.........sequential is a better install  :y

Martin Imber has converted his 2.6 to lpg..........im sure he will let you know  :y

Well I got it, what a cracker, did 600 miles on saturday mainly motorway, used about £60 in gas and it ran perfectly, (Stefanelli sequencial system :-?) Which when converted is about 23mpg (gas) so about 46mpg  ;D

Couple of things with it, it is supposed to be a gls should it have cruise? and a 4 cd changer?

I have a V6 GLS.  Sadly no cruise control and no Autochanger in mine.

I think that the GLS will be the basic spec throuh out.

I thought that too but it looks like mine has a had a few "goodies" added ;D looking at the "tech specs" the only item missing is the leather interior it has everything else that the cdx has. ;D
