Hi all,
I just recently bought an ex GMH dual fuel Omega that's done 15,000k's and while I'm quite happy with it I have found that it's a bit noisy. I can't quite work out if it's the motor or the exhaust.
A friend of mine seems to think it's fitted with a sport exhaust or muffler but I would think that a bit strange being an ex GMH car. Another mate reckons it's the motor.
It's noisier than the 17 year old VR S that it replaced so it just seems odd to me that it would be considered normal. I never really noticed it during the test drive. It's quiet when cruising along, just noisy when powering from a stop or accelerating to overtake etc.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has one or has been in one and if that seems normal.
Mine's a 2010 model, factory fitted dual fuel.
Overall I'm happy with it. Full sized sedan with the power of a six and running costs of a four. Last fill cost me $36 and I'm getting over 600 k's per tank. The steering wheel is cheap and nasty though, worse than the old VR's. I think I'll change it for a leather SS wheel.
