This forum has made me love my Omega B 2.5 V6 It is a second user.
160k. What are the things that i need to change or do to have it going more years.
Do not mind spending some more on it. I am in Africa. Liberia to be precise.

do you have any service history?
-
No. Do you know that most of the Cars that come to Africa does not have Car Pass.
I do not but i bought same two years back. The only thing that gave up first was the Crank Sensor and HBV which i changed. Also Dis Pack and plugs.

so just check cambelt and water pump :y and keep driving :D

I'm guessing the 160,000 is kilometers ??? which is about 100,000 miles.
either way .. the cambelt/tensioners MUST be changed every 40000 miles (65000 Km)... if this isn't done you'll have a pile of scrap for an engine .. :(
Breathers/cam covers are the next important bits ... there are "how to s" in the Guides section

Coolant system MUST have a 50/50 mix of antifreeze/water ... as the antifreeze has corrosion inhibitors in it .. without that the engine rots internally ...
And the most important bit of all .. regular oil changes .. every 5000 miles to keep the engine sweet .. :)

Is the Cam Belt the same as the Timing Belt? I bought one but do not know if it is an original.
