hi all new to site and need help I have an omega gls 2.2 and it has died on me was working fine went to fuel up then started making a noise as if it was dragging now it wont run can start the car fine put it in to gear but it will not move and it  makes a horrible noise I have been told either dual mass flywheel or clutch can any 1 help if it is dual mass then I have been told not worth fixing as more expensive thatn car is worth help would be appreciated I dont want to loose my car

Welcome OMG, where abouts are you? Perhaps add it to your profile.

Does it move at all if you try? Does it go into gear? Clutches are fairly easy on the 4pot, although the DMF's aren't cheap, maybe better finding one at a breakers.

[omg]

no doesnt move at all will go into gear and get the dip stage like at bite point but wont move just makes a hell of a noise like bolts in a tumble dryer :-/

99% it's the Dual Mass Flywheel! Try and find a breaker for a replacement.

Can you not get a conventional replacement flywheel as you can for some Ford's ?

[Elite Pete]

Try a company called Road Runners in Saltney, Chester. I picked one up for another member on here a while ago and they were quite cheap

[omg]

thanks will try them and see how i get on

thanks will have a look in to cost of fixing that way

roadrunners are not unreasonable price wise for works either.

fixed a broken timing chain issue on a vectra for the father in law lately, was impressed with them.

one of the blokes there used to work at the performance vauxhall place round the corner as well.

[omg]

hey all just thought i would update you i tried road runners they dont have 1 so no joy there have phoned a few breakers but as yet no luck im so missing my car but have to make the choice soon do i stick with it or cut my losses and look for a new car

[Dishevelled Den]

Sad news OMG I suppose it depends on what you car's worth to you and what you have to spend to get it back on the road against the cost of a replacement vehicle.

If you do replace the Omega you will be left with an immobile vehicle unless you can part exchange for your new car or break it for parts.

I would keep checking the breakers for the time being - you might take a different view.
