Title: Omega - Spares or Repair
Post by: Kate on 03 January 2011, 12:16:14
Having to sell my Omega MV6 due to not being able to find work.  1999 3.0 Auto Estate. Taxed until the end of January. Tested until 17th January.

Cambelt done 10000 miles ago. Black leather interior. Four new tyres. Needs crankshaft sensor.  Will need a wheel bearing doing for test. Has a couple of scratches due to vandalism. 150000 miles approx.

£400 or swap for something an unemployed person can afford to run.

I'm staying in London.  Sunderland is so depressing with all the chavs and poverty.

Also - as it needs a crank sensor, is it currently a none runner, or just playing up ?

No its not starting at the moment so I'm going to get a new sensor from Vauxhall and have a go at fitting it myself, then get it tested as I think it only needs a wheel bearing, then stick it on ebay.

Sounds like a plan, it will be worth a lot more running and with a years ticket. Crank sensor is a 10 minute job (if you follow the guide) although you will need a female torx bit of the correct size, if you dont already have one. :y

Tyres are made by Sunew and are 16".

That looks like Elite spec. Its got the Elite grill, and SatNav. But for some reason the alloys have been changed, as they are from the 'Reflection' special addition.

But looking at interior, and fact its wood not carbon. I'd say that was a 3.0 Elite with Sports pack (MV6 seats)

I bought two massive chunky armchairs off ebay a couple of months ago.  Huge they are! I went to collect them in the millennium falcon (that's what i call the mig). The seller said 'they would never fit in there I thought you'd bring a transit'.

They bloody did though!

I thought that as well, but if was an Elite then the sills and lower half of the rear bumper would be body colour, wouldn't they?

Its an MV6 and someone has specced sat nav and a CCRT700 when it was new ;)
Title: Re: Omega - Spares or Repair
Post by: Kate on 06 January 2011, 09:51:15
It says MV6 on the log book.

Post by: I_want_an_Omega on 06 January 2011, 15:19:56
Thought it was. Someone has added the Irmsher grille and Elite door cards. The MV6s with leather seats don't have leather door cards - they have cloth ones, so these have been added or it's a "misbuild" - which happens sometimes.

Can anyone tell me if this is the crankshaft sensor connector?

It certainly looks like it, it shoud be clipped in a bracket behind the plenum.

MFL Elite Irmscher grilles have a body coloured border to them that earlier cars don't have.

like this car .......http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1998-VAUXHALL-OMEGA-CDX-V6-AUTO-SILVER-/320639535814?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4aa79b0ac6#ht_1781wt_1139

This one has Andyb, if you look at picture 8 you will clearly see it has the irmscher front grille with the colour coded border to it.

 ...... and the link is  ::) ::) ::) ::) ;)

I suspect a car before MFL with an Irmscher has had it added at a later date, they're not exactly a new car any more are  they and could very well have been added to over its life.  :y :y
