1994 Vauxhall Omega GLS review from UK and Ireland
"Like it despite some expensive problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
ABS packed up, had two sensors replaced, still left with a fault, suspect the ABS brain has gone terminal.
Speedo swings wildly up & down and once stopped operating totally.
Both above faults appear heat related since they both appear when the engine has 'warmed up'.
Driver's internal door handle trim falls off regularly.
Odds & sods bin beside the fuse panel falls open regularly, still figuring that one out.
General comments?
Despite all the above (which will probably result in me selling the car), I am fairly impressed with the car. I've had it for around 4 weeks and found it to be a very relaxed cruiser that does not make you feel like you've just driven 200 miles when you've just driven 200 miles.
Previous owner had replaced the radio cassette with new CD player, a vast improvement on usual Vauxhall systems, but it did show up that the original speakers are good value.
