Omega General Help / Re: 3.2 V6 auto gearboxes vs High Mileage

« on: 06 November 2008, 07:13:31 »

So if the gearbox oil (Dextron III?) has been changed regularly, there's no reason for it to fail once you get into the heady heights of 6 figure mileage?

I'm just wondering what the average lifespan of an autobox is if it's properly maintained.

Omega General Help / 3.2 V6 auto gearboxes vs High Mileage

« on: 06 November 2008, 06:58:08 »

I know that as long as the oil, belts and tensioners are changed religiously, the 3.2 engine will run forever and a day... but what sort of mileage will the "average" autobox start to need attention through natural wear and tear?

Assuming that it hasn't been thraped or poorly maintained that is.

Am I right in thinking that the 3.2 autobox is a rebranded BMW unit? I'm sure I read that somewhere but I might be off my horse and on a donkey!

Just thought I'd drop in and say hello

My name's Rich, I'm 24, and I'm from South Cheshire.

I sold my 2005 Civic Type-R about 3 weeks ago and I have an Audi A4 2.7 TDi company car through work that I share with my dad. It's been a long time since I shared a car with my dad (I was 17 last time and it was a Ford Sierra

) and it's just not working out... too much like hard work!

I've told him he can have the Audi as I never really drive it that much anyway, and I'll get myself something else big, comfortable and fast. I had originally thought about an old Ford Scorpio 2.9 24v Cosworth, but it's so hard finding a good one. I'd never normally buy a Vauxhall as I'm a die hard Ford fanatic, but after test driving an Omega on a whim, I have to say I'm hooked!

So, hopefully before long, I'll be posting photos on here of a 3.2 Elite... once I've found one 8-)

I don't know any Obama jokes that I could post on here!
