not at the moment

Maybe you should stop fitting pattern parts to it   

why  havent done anything to it yet

[05omegav6]

i do love my old girl very much and if truth be told I'd hate to get rid of her. However i am quite jealous of there guys that never look after their car and have no trouble. . . Mainly VW drivers it seems :-(

Don't you believe it,Vw's aint that reliable

Agreed, my Seat Altea, which I bought new, was recovered 3 times in two years...piece of shyte

My ex plod Omega has by comparison, only been recovered twice, once for clutch failure, and once because I buried it into the back of a lorry on the M6,(would have driven it home if I hadn't mashed the radiator ).

VWs are poo, their only aim is to screw you for as much cash as possible at each service why else would you have to dismantle the front of the car to change the cambelt,four pot Audis, or have to remove the engine to change the timing gear, 3.0 V6 diesel. It wouldn't be so bad if the cars were a sensible price to begin with...


Rant over

[ozzycat]

i was till i detroyed mine sob

They are in a crap location, compared to 4 pots which are dead easy.

Couldn't agree more

Smd yours is in very good nic. Any omega owner needs to factor in wishbone and set up costs. And let's face it those tyres should have been changed long ago really, so your ahead there.

Any car will incur costs and need work. New cars are thrown together with little attention to set up from new, newer cars cost more to buy in the first place, so yours is a bargain and needs little work, as only the wishbones and set up are a real issue.

Rust is unfortunate, but much better than the inferior pre face lift.

Oh, and am I happy with mine? Yes, very. For now.

Try a 4 pot, you don't even need to jack it up

Except its jacked up to get sump plug out, and drain tray under.

I'm perfectly happy with my 1998 MV6, bar a rear bush issue that I need to look at.

Spoke too soon. Develooped a horrible creak from front suspension/steering. Bugger.

The only issue, which is disturbing me and assumedly won't be solved soon a little idle problem on LPG mode that caused by an age-old mixer system is fitted. Nowadays I'm about on finding a proper sequential kit and thinking of fitting some extra instruments that are missed sometimes eg fuel pressure gauge. Possibly mine is oldest iron here that is still running. Must admit I had - and I'll have of course - some problem with Miggy but nothing that would have been impossible to solve. Having Trade Card I can buy genuine parts for quite friendly price so I can't see why should be unhappy.

Thanks Chris. Yes I suppose it could have needed a whole bunch of other stuff so can't complain really.
