guys I may be changing my 2.2i cdx for a slightly newer 2.0i cd, the reason being mine has got a few miles on it now, still not sure weather to change or not, but my question is will I notice much loss of power, and will my fuel consumption be better or worse.

Any 2.0 Omega will be older than your 2.2  :-/

mine currently is a 2000plate on w, the one I am looking at is 2000plate on an x, it's mainly for the milage drop that I am considering.

If yours is a 2.2, its not a 2000 model

ime, the 2.2 seems noticibly torqier, and doesn't feel as 'stretched' as a 2.0

Hi jamie, what would mine be it's on a w plate, it's baged as a 2.2i and the log book shows 2.2i year 2000, it can't be any newer than a 2000plate. also forgot it is an opel not vauxhall omega.

Check VIN, what is number following the 69 (or 35) in middle of VIN?

Yup, thats a 2000MY.  Wonder if Opel fitted 2.2 earlier, iirc it came in with 2001MY (so midway through 2000)

**Edit - I'm talking rubbish, its the v6 dbw engines that came in at 2001, 2.2 came in in 2000

cheers jamie I was starting to panic, somthing was wrong, is the 20i better on fuel than my 2.2i or about the same.

Ive recently changed from a 1997 2.0ltr GLS to a 2002 2.2 CD and would say the 2.2 is a bit faster but fuel wise i havent noticed much of a difference to be honest .... suppose that depends on how you drive it though

same.

[jimmas]

cheers for reply's guys will base decision on mileage differance alone.

[TheBoy]

Whatever, the 2.0 will be older, though only by months...

How much cheaper is the 2.0?  I'd stay with the newer but higher mileage car

[jimmas]

hi the 2.0 is newer than my 2.2i by about 6months, mine is 2000 on w plate the one i'm considering is a 2000 on a x plate. and about 35000 miles less than mine.
