Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / timing belt cover, front
« on: 04 April 2014, 10:57:16 »
Hi all, I'm looking for a timing belt cover for my 97 omega part number 90411610. Unable to post in the items wanted section as I do not have the required post count ( annoying ). Can't find this part anywhere, hope somebody can help. Cheers.

Had the same problem a few years ago, turned out to be an air lock not venting.

Took my motor into Kwik-fit up last week to take advantage of their free brake check. I had noticed a slight judder on my way home. So they had a good look around , and said they couldn't notice anything wrong, but suspected a warped disc. That will be £234, told him he was having a laugh. Took my car home and started the inspection myself. Took the wheels off removed pins from caliper and the brake pads fell out into four pieces . Changed pads for £20, What a shoddy outfit.

Exhaust manifold was blowing so started to investigate, removed heat shield, no cracks or signs of problems. But 7 of the 10 studs were loose, all re-tightened. Checked down pipe , took off 4 bolts , gasket showing soot where it was blowing, and 1 bolt had 2 locking washers where it was blowing. Installed new gasket and bolts job done total cost so far £8. £3.50 for bolts £4.50 for gasket.
Next job cam belt and water pump. Purchased GM parts online, Cam belt kit , belt, tensioner, pulley's £45, water pump, Continental £16.
Fitting the belt was no problem with the locking mechanism in place. Water pump removal was a right pig, think it was the original, it was full of corrosion around the rubber seal. That's the oily bits done. Next down to the local mechanics to sort out the tracking, two front tires badly worn on the insides . Two new tires £54 each, tracking £35. All in all a busy day.
Bit more info about my car, It is a 1997 Omega 2.0 16v. The previous owner was an elderly gent , Last 4 mot certs show he only did 3500 miles in it in the last 4 years. She now has 83,000 miles and is in excellent condition,bar the usual rust spots on rear doors. Just thought I would share this with you all.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / central locking not resetting.
« on: 29 October 2013, 11:59:10 »
Hi all this is my first post, so here goes. my central locking was not working , I found a remedy which said . move key to 2nd notch in ignition then press lock on remote fob. All doors locked then unlocked and . Excellent says I. The next day I had to perform this procedure again. It seems to reset fine , but when left over night I have to reset the remote fob. So relay or key fob at fault. Cheers Ps this is a 97 GLS
