Hello,

Can anyone please help me i have been looking for ages for the car spec site, we have an omega v6 2.5 at mo and have seen a gorgeous 2.5 elite turbo diesel, but we want to know the weights etc etc.....

I have seen on here someone posted a site where you can get all cars specs and i cannot for the life of me find it and i have done various searches, and have to admit i am beat - never before has this happened to me but it has now........

if anyone knows the site name, i would be very grateful!!!!

We tried that one miggylou and to be honest it`s not great. We`ve got a Omega 2.6 V6 Estate and according to that site we can`t pull any of the Elddis crusaders.

According to a Diesel Car Magazine test in 1999 of an Omega Elite saloon with the 2.5 BMW engine, the KW is quoted as 1675kg.  From memory, the estate was over 1700kg.

The test can be found at:     www.dieselcar.com         look under "articles"

Opel and Elddis

The towing capability for the Opel Omega Stationwagon - 2.6 V6 (132 kW)
with a Elddis Crusader Storm:
24

Performance on levelled roads
Top speed
Usability highest gear
Acceleration and take over
Performance in mountainous regions
Drive off uphill
Driving on motorway slopes
Driving on steep roads



Verdict:

The caravan is a somewhat heavy for this car in accordance with a mix of European standards. However, according to the British Towing Code the percentage (loaded caravan / kerbweight tow car) is 100%.

The towing performances of this Opel with your Elddis are good.



More in detail:

Possible top speed in windless conditions and headwind force 3
Top speed in 3rd gear is 143 km/u (89 mph) and in headwind it will be 131 km/u (81 mph).
Top speed in 4th gear is 128 km/u (80 mph) and in headwind it will be 112 km/u (70 mph).
Top speed in 5th gear is 115 km/u (71 mph) and in headwind it will be 97 km/u (60 mph).


Acceleration (times are indicative)
0 - 80 km/u (0 - 50 mph) with caravan in 13.5 sec. (solo: 7 sec.)
0 - 100 km/u (0 - 62 mph) with caravan in 20.8 sec. (solo: 10 sec.)
0 - 120 km/u (0 - 75 mph) with caravan in 35.1 sec. (solo: 13.6 sec.)
Acceleration (flexibility)
70 - 90 km/u (44 - 56 mph) as fast as possible (through the gears) 5.1 sec.
70 - 90 km/u (44 - 56 mph) in 3rd gear 8.7 sec. Tractive power (pick-up) is reasonable to good.
70 - 90 km/u (44 - 56 mph) in 4th gear 17.2 sec. Tractive power (pick-up) is moderate.
70 - 90 km/u (44 - 56 mph) in 5th gear 30.4 sec. Tractive power (pick-up) is bad.

We have the 2.6 V6 Estate and it`s not the  Crusader Storm that we want as we know that`s way too much for our car. It`s the single Axle Aurora which comes out at 92% with Towsafe.
