Omega General Help / Re: 2.0 CDX Engine removal & Refitting

« on: 15 August 2013, 22:28:08 »

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..

Nice, looks very original and tidy 

Thanks, unfortunately I couldn't work out how to put pics on here, hence only being able to put the links up, looks well confusing reading how to actually put pics on here 

Just press the imagine button, instead of the link button 

Aha, just tried it and it worked, thanks mate...

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  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...

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.

Thanks mate, fingers crossed I think I have found one, it's a 2.0 out of a W registered Omega auto (same as mine) low mileage 68,000 rear end write off, it's coming in the next few days, here's the ad site I used  http://www.247spares.co.uk/?cc=1

I will post further once it arrives

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
