Hi all.

My Omega has been losing power as if running out of petrol, then after a couple of seconds the power comes back.

I have a coolant leak and have to keep topping it up. I'm not sure if the two problems are related.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure to be honest. I've only had the car for 5 months. Should I change that part anyway?

Saloon or estate and how much fuel is in it?

It's an estate with 3-4 gallons in it.

Would I be able to change the fuel filter myself or should I take it to the garage?

My health isn't too good at the moment though.

They can be a sod to change if all rusted up and the plastic clips just break.....hence mine is being done by my local garage this week....what model omega have you got now Kate

I've got 2000 2.5CD estate in blue. It's got parts such as the plenum off a 3.0 but I don't know why?

I'll leave the work to the garage then - been having problems with incredible pain in my legs and feet. I'm worried its a diabetic neuropathy so it's a bit scary.

Hi Kate..that little job can be straight forward or if original filter or may be a long time since being changed then because it gets all off the dust,dirt and wet can be more trouble than its worth,,so as you do not feel up to scratch then leave it to them and put your feet up and rest,,,hope you feel better soon,

Hi kate, not a mechanic, but are your  symtoms that the car surges and loss of power intermittent if so I have the same with my car and I possibly could save you spending time and money from replacing plugs, leads, filters ect, let me know.
