I bought on the cheap a 95 Vauxhall Omega 2.5 V6 Auto, showing 90K
The engine is burning no oil though does leak a lot, particurally over one of the exhaust manifolds which is annoying.
The thing is the car has real useless performance, and can barely keep up with my mates '89 2 litre Carlton..
There is a bit of hesitation at low revs, and light throttle, though have put this down to a damaged spark lead, as can see arcing in the vicinity from time to time.
Anyone any ideas, I was thinking as the engine is covered in oil crankshaft position sensor or the like is may be playing up.

If it wasn't in need of serious repair, the previous owner either a) wouldn't have sold it or b) would have asked a much higher price.
If a deal looks too good to be true, it almost certainly is!

It needs a complete looking at ,you need to have connected to a GM anylyser to find some of the critical problems.These vehicles are notoriously a nightmare.

Proper service first with new plugs and leads then worry about the rest.

Well either would have been a start.

If you live in the south try calling DK Cars in Thatcham.
01635 863080
They are an independant who only do big Vx cars - they found a problem on my Omega that a main dealer couldn't fix.
