hi,
i would like to say hello
today i picked up my first Omega, its a 1999 2.5 6v cdx Auto, its a lovely car and reminds me of my old granada's, i have moved from a Passat to this, just a few question if i may, What mpg can i expect if driven , also, its only got one keyfob and dont fancy handing overy £130 for another one from the dealers, What are my options for a spare, are they all the same if i find one thats identical on ebay, just need to change the blade? and what price should i pay, is there anywhere that can code it or is this only dealership job
i got the car off ebay, what a motor, its a beast. take a look i would like to see what you guys think

Looks like you've bought a good one there.

The cambelt changes should be every 40,000 miles or 4 years so yours could need changing soon.

just checked, the cam belt was changed on the 60,000 service.

Get it done yesterday .. its well overdue by 19000 miles ... you are lucky it is still going ......  

[hotel21]

if it was done at 60k and clock is now 119k, then thats LOTS of miles overdue.....

welcome to the site, by the way!!  

[tunnie]

[Martin_1962]

There is a cambelt meet in Telford soon, but it might be better to get it changed sooner.

Welcome BTW
