.....this was your car being discussed.
My dad currently works in germany and its his car, it’s a omega mv6 its got 3.0 v6 on the back of the car and mv6 on the door, it’s got the fast BMW turbo engine in it. My dad said I cant drive the car but my escort van broke dowm amd my mum sais I can drive it but only on short jounerys and If im carefull.
Ive been driving the car and the its too expensive for me on the pocket, ive obnly down about 100 mile s noew and the tank is empty.
My mate drives the same car but his is a omega 2.5 CD also with the BMW fast turbo engine, hes been saying that he drives it on dual bio fuel and his been putting vegetable oil in it with no problems, I didn’t belive you could do this but after 2 weeks his running on this and he adds a bitb of petrol to make it runs better evertine he puts vegetable oil in it and it runs cool.
So we put some vetatable oil from Cosco and toped it up with some petroll, about 6 gallons vegetable and 1 gallon petrol, which my friend said was about right. The needle is now about the same on the tank as before (phell!) and the car drove great for about 2 miles but the slowed down and started to miss fire and no more power, then it stooped and wouldnt start.
We got the car back to my mates place by towing it, and my mates brother said its propbally crap oil we put init and it needs flushing out. We charged the battery And I bought some engine flush from Halfords and we put this in the engine, my mate sais you have to run the engine and take out the oil filter forn this to work which I did.
The engine wouldnot start but on the key turning the engine All the oil came out in a bowl and we had another falat battery. I got some more flush from Halfords and we did the same while jumping the battery until the engine flush come through, We put the oil filter back on the engine but it will stiil not start evan if you jump the battery.
Does any one now howmany times you have to flush the oil through, cos it starting to make funny nose now when you try and start the engine, my friend says best to get the car back home and get the brakedown man to fix it, but I don’t wont to get my mum introuble and my dads gona go apes**t if he find out.
Picked it up from another forum that I drop into sometimes.
Glad its not my car being talked about..........
