Hello every one.
Right here in Saudi arabia, Omega goes under Opel's branding. apparently, GM adopted alot of Vaxhull's development. You see Opel vectra, Opel Omega, Opel astra etc.
the GM dealer here is pritty bad specially with the Opel section. once you come in with your car, its about 500 US$ average. most of the time, nothing solved. Spare parts are high and basically the car is considered a curse if you own it, Specially that sometimes the weather reaches 54C over here.
sorry for teh long introduction. right now, i know an Omega owner friend of mine that got him self another car and is willing to sell his Omega. the car is a 2001 Opel Omega 3.0 V6 and he offered it to me really cheap. Then he warned me that the car has been having overheating problems since it passed its warranty period and some times, the heat meter tops red line. I would love to have this car if i could find a solution for the over heating issue. otherwise, i'm a student at college and its not really worth it.
before i posted here, i've searched and read 2 posts about the same issue but for different engines. the post that mentioned the eprson who locked his radio
and the other that pointed out the fuse location (neat picture it helps!)
what i need to ask right now is:- " what am i looking for? what am i checking? is there a list of things i should look for? priority? "
and thanks. i really love the way you people have provided information to owners about this issue. and it assured me that i'm in the right place!
