Title: my omega mv6
Post by: woodenspatulas on 19 August 2007, 17:23:21

havent even had chance to clean it up yet. early signs show the oil cooler or head gaskets have failed. but apart from that it needs a good valet and a a little bit of rust treatment and she will be well on the way to looking half decent!

inside the seats are ok but the rear part of the centre consol needs attention as its hanging off. theres also a part under teh headlight control thats loose too. but for a 1998 car im happy, and i paid naff all for it too!! :D

its a vectra estate 2.0i sri estate that ive had for a few years and have modded pretty much everything but the engine.

im going to start stripping the v6 down to get to the oil cooler and try and clean out the coolant system. ive not worked on a v6 before but my girlfriend has done, in fact shes owned a omega before and was involved in changing the engine over so shes going to be a big help!! :)

My money is on the Oil Cooler......

Good luck with it.  I am on the lookout for an Elite with a failed cooler.

I really like the MV6 seat design - wish I had em in mine  - hope you sort the issue out matey. It's crackin when you get a bargain with a "written off" problem only to fix it and have an excellent car at the end  :y
