Well after removing the air filter, cleaning the breather pipes my 2.0 CDX is still putting out blue smoke when hot, so it now appears as if it is my first fear of worn rings/engine wear, I have sourced another 2.0 engine which I am picking up tomorrow evening, does anybody know how difficult removing and fitting the new engine will be ?, and would it be easier to remove with the auto gearbox still attached to the engine ?, if anyone has done this job before I would really appreciate any advice..
Many thanks
Terry

To be honest not that hard but I have done a few in the past . First omega I did I labelled each connector up from number 1 on masking tape just to make it easier when 're fitting . Just move the wiring loom to one side uf u leave gearbox in car . Good luck plenty of help on here for you .

Four pot engine not that hard to remove.As said,label things,but also take pics which you can refer to if you get stuck.
Probably easier to lift the engine/box out together imo. :y

Hello everyone, the latest on my 2.0 CDXi Omega - Unfortunately it is not good news :( , last week I picked up a 85,000 mile replacement 2.0i engine, it came out of a manual Vectra but the Vauxhall fitter confirmed after checking that the engine details were the same that it would fit in an auto Omega, so with that information I bought the engine, today we begun the job of removing my old engine, once removed we begun fitting the ancillaries to the new engine, that was when we hit major problems, the sump was totally different and would not fit in my rear wheel drive Omega engine bay, so we removed the sump on both engines, we were met with horror :'( , the crank etc was different, so here we were with 2 engines in bits, my one with it's smoking engine and the new one that wouldn't fit in my car.... So now my poor old Omega is now sitting down the side of a garage with no chance of running any time soon (I have spoken with Steve the spares fella and although he was his usual helpful self he did not have a 2.0 litre engine that would fit into an automatic W registered (2000) 2.0 litre). So here I am asking "does anybody know where I can find myself a low mileage 2.0 Litre engine that will go straight into my Omega ?

Drop a 2.2 in and transfer the 2.0 ancillaries (sensors, camcover etc)

Thanks Rob - Will the 2.2 run okay with all my original 2.0 ancillaries, ECU on board computer etc ?

Yep
Yup I'd go 2.2 as well, little bit more torque. I'd keep an eye out for breakers here, then you know if the engine has come from a working donor :)

Thanks Tunnie, I'll keep on looking, would you mind letting me know if you hear of an engine that becomes available, just don't want my car to sit there and rot at the rear of a garage :(
Thanks for your help & advice

Finally a bit of good luck, I have found a low mileage (68,000) 2.0 litre engine out of a rear end write off Omega with exactly the same running gear as mine, same W reg as well, so this one will fit :y here's hoping eh.. it should be here in the next few days, I'll update once it arrives....
Thanks again to everyone who offered me their help and advice..
Terry
below is the link to the site I used to source the engine, it might just help somebody else in the future...

My new replacement 2.0i Omega engine arrived today, I must say it looks extremely clean :), as soon as I find the time I shall set about fitting into my Omega, will update further once fitted....

Happy days peeps, I now have my Omega back on the road, the new 68,000 mile engine went in last Friday (took a while), but she runs perfectly, quiet, smooth and back to running as an Omega should...
May I just say a massive thank you to anybody who offered me help/advice regarding my lovely reliable car, and I do mean reliable, she didn't pack up, I took the decision to fit another engine because the original one was struggling to pass the emissions test every year, so all now good...
Thanks again peeps
Terry.. :)
