Title: Newbie hello.
Post by El_Swervo on 10. Sep 2007 at 12:25

Hello All!
I am here thanks to laidback 66( thank you!), and a previous visit to the Vx forum. Didnt know this sort of thing existed for "normal" cars! no offence intended, as I kinow the Omega is no normal car!
I have been looking for answers to my current problem of my sick 97 Omega V6 2.5cd estate that appears to have developed a somewhat noisy engine, actually it sounds like a dumper truck!
It sounds like its terminal, so I am looking for another as we (my wife and I ), love this car and its got us all through France twice and all round the Uk, 5 up, roofbox and all, with no problems, until now.
It seems my service intervals have been a bit slack! Time to change with the next one.
Looking forward to chattting and meeting other Omega owners, both depressed at the state of the current Wagon and exited about buying a new one.
Cheers,
El Swervo

Welcome to the forum. :)

If you can be a bit more specific with the problem on your current Omega and would like to post it in the 'General Help' section you may be surprised that you don't have to get a new car.

I am going to investigate the problem myself this week,as the garage it was recovered to were not specific-could be anything at the moment. I will however do as you say as soon as I have sussed it out!
It would be nice to fix it.
Thanks for your help and thank you for all the welcomes!

Hello Loo-Knee, good looking car from Elite Pete, but its got to be a wagon, thanks anyway. I will find out thius week if I need a new one.
As far as my car is concerned,Iam going to the garage that has my car in the morning to have a look for myself, to see what the damage is, I dont think they have a look at it at properly as yet, as they havn't turned a spanner to save me some money. I have managed to get my mits on a borroscope so should not have to take the heads off etc to see what has occured on the top end if anything.
will post on general help when I have the answers!
Again, thanks for the welcomes, the most I have had on ANY forum in less than a week!
