Hello,

Got an anoying problem with my Omega, and before I speak with a garage would appreciate some thoughts plz

Car was serviced and MOTed 2 weeks ago and all was fine.

But today it started to struggle and lack power when accelerating around the 40 to 60mph mark when the revs are about 3K+

You will put your foot down whilst at speed and the car will drop a gear and then it will hesitate and seem to struggle to accellerate perhaps between the 3K to 5K mark then at 5K power will be delivered as normal.

Poodling about normally and not accellerating aggresively it seems fine.

If anyone can suggest potential cause for this I would be grateful

Cheers
Diddy

PS whilst not under load the car revs fine

Check if plug wells are not full of oil...
