Dont be tempted to part with your omegas for pennies. Even though I dont have one nowadays, mine was one of the best cars I ever owned. I just wish they weren't so bloody maintenance hungry or I'd have another tomorrow.


I bought my 3.2 Elite at just over a year old and at 13k miles - other than regular servicing (much more often than the 20k interval) it has cost little to service - only once letting me down; last year when i needed a crank sensor.

Had mine 7 years - a lot of work done under warranty - because of problems in first 3 years VX extended the warranty to 5 years.

Was basically going fine and just routine servicing, brakes etc but colour display failed in 2007 and that demanded resourcefulness and this forum purely because of the pathetic inability of VX to repair CIDs for £200 wanting to charge you £1500 for new unit. Bought CID off German ebay at finish.

VX themselves screwed up a cam belt change and had to fit a new V^ 3.2 engine.

I have  really been happy overall with Omega and the Irmscher kit has helped it avoifd a too dated look. The drive is fantastic but worthless as a trade in £2k tops I suppose. This forum is really helping me keep costs down including dealing with VX dealers who to a large extent make so many errors in diagnosis and repair that you have to have 2nd and 3rd opinions to deal with it.

Could not agree more as they seem to be aging extremely well with most new car designs not radically different than the Omega :D :D ;)
