Omega Owners Forum - Slipping Auto Box on a 2.0?

I know the Autoboxes tend to go on the early 2.5 Diesels, but there is one advertised locally as having a 'slipping' auto box, its in a '97 2.0 with 91k miles..... which seams odd, as i have rarely seen problems with 2.0 boxes. Could a simple oil change help things there? Its a private seller.....

Aug 2006 at 16:13 PS I took a 2.0 Auto to 142000 miles and problems were as such. 1) Selector switch went - got oil change at same time (around 100,000) 2) Got a little noisy while cornering and changes a bit jerky - I sold it I reckon oil was low because I had taken the radiator out wth out refilling the box

Aug 2006 at 16:15 Cheers martin, looks a tidy car. 7 Months MOT & new tyres, body work looks in good condition too. Only problem its a GLS but its a '97 model so being fairly new should get a good price.

Indeed depends where it is, and who wants it. But the slipping 2.0 Auto isn't on eBay

Err ish.. found it on AT whist researching estate prices, its 30 miles away from here according to AT, but it could easily be 40 Angry

Not really sure on it, as its a GLS and they tend to be harder to flog. Being a 97 which would be a P Reg, i doubt it would have air-con. Only the basics are listed.

Going to get rid of Proj B before buying another one now i think...
