Title: HT Leads Question
Post by: Craig_R on 20 July 2006, 15:47:05: I am alittle stuck in buying some HT Leads The ones I am looking At Say the year only gos up to 1999 models Mine is a 2000 does this matter, Infact I phoned the company who makes them and the lady said we only list to 99 did they stop making the omega in 99 ? I said No it went on till 2003 so the car after 99 must have leads from somewhere :)

And All she kept asking is it a Coil Pack I said No its a 2.0L and it has a Dis Pack the 2.2 has a Coil Pack Hope I am right there :)

Anyway whould these Leads be Fine in My W reg 2000 2.0L 16v Omega ?

Post by: Craig_R on 20 July 2006, 16:34:12: yep about the same apart from having Alan Bolts it has tork bolts on the rocker cover and i have a LPG attached to the Throttle body as its a mixer system not an injection system.

Oh mine has a funny thing on the Air Pipe at the side like a block off of some discription i have not seen this on any other 2.0 liter engine on the forums wonder why its alittle different.

Post by: nixoro on 20 July 2006, 16:40:30: Dont actually know why its there I have something similar and its blocked off and does nothing obviously more visible from inside the pipe.

Does it turn round or is it fixed.

LPG looks good from what I can see of it.

Post by: Craig_R on 20 July 2006, 16:43:17: yep its moveable you can turn it

Post by: nixoro on 20 July 2006, 16:46:30: Wonder if its blocked off inside the pipe, not that I am suggesting removal.

Shall check mine after work.

Post by: Marks DTM Calib on 20 July 2006, 21:14:53: Its a resonance stub......(If you have done transmission theory you will know what I mean!)

The ones shown in the pic are for an 8 valve, dare I say, pop to halfords and get soem of thier Bosch ones... (they are not a perfect seal around the cam cover but are good leads)

Post by: Craig_R on 22 July 2006, 20:13:45: Marks DTM Calib I had a look at the bosch leads today are they any good ? i was alittle put off as they did not look like they would seal at all would this matter ? they were about 36 quid

Hi Mark

I havent .....so havent a clue....would you like to enlarge on what it does and why its there?
Ive wondered why thats there on mine, although mine doesnt turn or move its a molded part of the air pipe

Also whats that sensor between the MAF sensor and the airbox.....my 2.2 doesnt have that

Cheers

Post by: Marks DTM Calib on 23 July 2006, 09:50:58: The sensor between the MAF and air box is the air temp sensor (often built into the later MAF's).

The stub is basicaly a matching device used on transmission lines (or on this case an air system but, similar principles), it will flatten out the torque curve by absorbing air pulses from the engine.....

The Bosch leads are good, they dont seal very well with the cam cover but, that shouldn't cause to many problems as there is a cover over the top of them.
