Also if my engine is a 3.0 and my codes still says its a 2.5 would that explain why it is sluggish because the ecu needs to be updated.?????
and where can i get that done.

The plenum chamber is a 2.5 model. All Omegas are rear wheel drive.

Oh and the sluggishness could be because the multi-rams aren't working properly. If you have a search for "multiram" or "multi ram" there should be a guide somewhere that tells you how to test it.

All Omegas are RWD.

That picture is a 2.5 engine or a pre 1998 3.0l engine.

i am still confused because this could be an early 3.0 where is the engine number located so i can chech to see if its an x30xe or x25xe. its only because the garage said they changed but are not to sure either.

I would hope they are compitent enough to know what engine they fitted!

If yours is an auto, and they bolted on a 3.0l....  ....oh dear....


What makes you think it is a 3.0l then?

Dont know just for some reason i thought it was a 3.0 mine is a manual, I just wondered if there was the engine number stamped somewhere plus feels quite quick for a 2.5 my dads vectra 2.5 gsi was not as quick as this and mine has a drivers exhaust manifold blowing and is feeling sluggish.

Not aware of any database that allows looking up of engine number to find type.  On the diesels, there is a sticker, very conveniently put right at back so only visible with engine out. Not aware of any such sticker on petrol models.

I have seen a sticker on the right side of camcover on some though  Undecided
