Hi,

bought a 2.5TD omega auto estate(1999) last weekend. Drives very well (244K Km), first start of day on turn of key after glowing, later starts the glow light does not come on and requires a good touch on accelerator pedal.

There's no black smoke during or after start, not even under harsh accelaration.

The engine starts within 5 seconds of winding when warm, but when cold picks up within second.

My old audi did the same thing and it was normal on it (not sure about omega though).
When the engine is cold the heaters will come on to help aiding the start.
But if the engine isn't cold the heaters wont come on and the engine will need reving till it starts.
Once more it was normal on my old audi but not sure about the mig, think it is the same

try looking for a 'hot starting fix vauxhall omega' on ebay. I've been told this will sort your problem, I need one myself

it's item number: 370308699137

I would add a link but I don't know how

[hoofing it]

I wouldn't worry to much its a common problem with this engine both vaux and bmw
