Was looking at one omega yesterday but not sure what to think of it.
The car has some issues and not sure should I buy it or not.
Here are the issuses bellow.
Car has done 240k km.
Issue 1:
Seller claims it never had an accident, the car has some scuffs and dents but it seems strange.
There are two reasons I say this, first one the car has standard headlights but is NCDR2015 which seems strange to me,
and the seond one it has small rust marks on the trunk door and rear pillars on the same place on both sides (somewhere on the 2/3 from the bottom of the trunk lid, it is n estate.
Issue 2:
Engine light is on, owner says it is due to LPG and has been on for as long as he had it but I've had a mig with LPG and never had the engine light on.
Also car seems to be a bit slow by my opinion. It is 2.2 petrol. Engine runs very nice by the sound of it but it seems somehow it is down on power.
I had 2.2 before but this one seems slower regardless of the petrol or lpg beiing fed to it.
Don't have odb2 so cannot check it.
Issue 3:
Drivers seat is teared and inclined. The seating area has a tear in the left side, and the backrest is inclined to the right more and cannot be moved.
Like someone tried to move it and it inclined only to the right side.
Also the seat moves up and down electrically but the backrest moves manually (this seems strange to me but it could be that they did make seats like these??)
Issue 4:
Car has several leaks
Cam cover leak which is normal or usual cause here no mechanic knows how to sort it out.
Oil leak on oil pan gasket but it should not be a problem.
I've also found oil on several other places, connection of engine and gearbox,
some black thing which seats behind and close to abs unit have no idea what it is (it has several bolts on it) It had oil on top of it.
Also there was some oil or something underneath the one of the cam rollers (the one in the middle of the engine)
And some liquid residue on the bottom plastic cover that extends from the fron bumper on the drivers side (UK passenger side)
This is under the aircon lines and the aircon doesn't work.
Can anyone shed some light on these leaks and possible solutions or should I simply walk away from this one.
and now we have to wait for the lawyers to do the paperwork as there is no will.
