guys I may be changing my 2.2i cdx for a slightly newer 2.0i cd, the reason being mine has got a few miles on it now, still not sure weather to change or not, but my question is will I notice much loss of power, and will my fuel consumption be better or worse.
-
Any 2.0 Omega will be older than your 2.2 :-/
-
mine currently is a 2000plate on w, the one I am looking at is 2000plate on an x, it's mainly for the milage drop that I am considering.

If yours is a 2.2, its not a 2000 model ;)
ime, the 2.2 seems noticibly torqier, and doesn't feel as 'stretched' as a 2.0

Hi jamie, what would mine be it's on a w plate, it's baged as a 2.2i and the log book shows 2.2i year 2000, it can't be any newer than a 2000plate. also forgot it is an opel not vauxhall omega.

Check VIN, what is number following the 69 (or 35) in middle of VIN?

Yup, thats a 2000MY. Wonder if Opel fitted 2.2 earlier, iirc it came in with 2001MY (so midway through 2000)
**Edit - I'm talking rubbish, its the v6 dbw engines that came in at 2001, 2.2 came in in 2000 :-[

cheers jamie I was starting to panic, somthing was wrong, is the 20i better on fuel than my 2.2i or about the same.

Ive recently changed from a 1997 2.0ltr GLS to a 2002 2.2 CD and would say the 2.2 is a bit faster but fuel wise i havent noticed much of a difference to be honest .... suppose that depends on how you drive it though ;)

same.
-
cheers for reply's guys will base decision on mileage differance alone.
-
Whatever, the 2.0 will be older, though only by months...
-
How much cheaper is the 2.0? I'd stay with the newer but higher mileage car
-
hi the 2.0 is newer than my 2.2i by about 6months, mine is 2000 on w plate the one i'm considering is a 2000 on a x plate. and about 35000 miles less than mine.

;D ;D
You should know... you slag my 2.2 off enough!
Big fat X on my reg plate ;)
Driven 2.0 Autos... & 2.2 Autos (mines a manual)
2.2's defo have more low down torque. From what i understand its just a 'stroked' 2.0, but its a quite noticable.

Not when you get out of a 3.0 :P ::)

The 2.0 is older - didn't sell because it had been replaced by the 2.2.
Just spent a long time in a field somewhere

right, thanks for that martin I had not realised that, but in hindsight it makes sense, I guess it is weather the mileage drop is worth the sideways downgrade.

People get hung up on millage too much.
Mines on 111.5k now, it runs better - smoother, faster, quieter than when i bought it at 84k.
Its how a car is maintained. Replacing it with a car with 30k less miles, does not make it any better IMO.
-
yes I agree with what your saying tunnie, the car I am considering has 85000 on it with full main dealer history mine has 125000 with full history but not all main dealer, I do approx 600 miles a week currently so my reasonin g was I would be able to pull back to a lesser mileage which would buy me another 12-18 months.
-
I guess I am just trying to justify changing it, but maybe the general concensus is I should keep it, there is currently nothing wrong with it, and it runs fine, never missis a beat, I thought maybe fuel consumption might be slightly better and mileage may be a buying point.

people love to hear main dealer history :o
but i say what dealer did ? if they just changed the oil and oil filter...
i dont care about that history...good garge with orginal parts make better history .(for me)
((600 mile a week )) i would go for 3 liter car
something like E class 320 CDI i ve seen one with 287000 mile
start like new ... run for ever
-
funny you should mention that had a new company c220cdi back in 2001 as I worked for mercs then, blew the engine at 34000, as in top of piston seperated, would agree generally good cars for mileage but not without there problems.
