2.0 DTi is a bit of rare beast for us UK Omega owners, only very, very very early ones had that engine, we get the 2.5 BMW lump then 2.2 DTi.

It might be worth going VectraB forums, as they would have more experiance of that engine

Crank sensor?

I doubt it gets cold enough in Ghana for glowplugs to be required.
