Title: Part number for GM Thermostat
Post by: PAULCDX on 20 July 2013, 11:54:32

Hi,

Can anyone help me with the VX part number for a Thermostat for my Omega 2.2 2003 please?

I've seen some pattern / OEM ones on ebay but unsure they will fit or are the correct ones. Perhaps I should buy genuine GM ?

Thanks in advance  ;)

Paul  :y

It nestles deep between the creamy bosom of the V6. :y

Not a ten minute job. :(


Ooops, Sorry. You have an Omega with two missing cylinders. ::) ::) ::) ;)

That is just the Thermostat itself Paul, however, they are very easy to fit in your existing body. QH is/was a a good pattern parts maker so there shouldn't be any problems there :y
