Omega B, Omega facelift?
« on: 29 September 2008, 21:56:44 »

Hi there,
I am new to the forum so sorry if I appear to be less than knowledgeable about omegas. Have just bought a  2.5 estate reg in  march 2000. On requesting info on parts, have been asked if its an Omega B. the other one is, is it a facelift model. How can I tell?
regards :-[

All Vauxhall Omegas are Omega-Bs.

Withing Omega-B (1994 - 2003), you have
pre minifacelift (1994-1997)
minifacelift (1998-1999)
facelift (2000-2003)

Vauxhall/Opel used letters for their model designation. While UK had a Vauxhall Carlton, those in Continental Europe called theirs an Opel Omega A. So when GM had a bit of a tidy up of European names they dropped names like Kadett, Ascona & Nova etc hence the next Omega was the B
