Brilliant, thank you all for your help!
I will have a go at servicing it.

Where would I get the bits from?

Omega General Help / Alternator query

« on: 23 February 2008, 20:37:07 »

Can someone please tell me what alternator I have in my 1996 2.5 omega gls?
Is it 100 or 120 amp?
And is there any difference with the vectra ones, are they interchangable with the omega?
Part numbers would be very helpful

I have a noisy bearing but have been told to replace the whole unit as the extra heat from the damaged bearing will destroy the unit. Is this true, if so how much should a new one cost?
I would be grateful for any help!

Omega General Help / difficulty changing my v6 cambelt!

« on: 16 February 2008, 10:40:43 »

Hi, I am attempting to change my cambelt but have hit difficulty.
I put the crank locking tool on and rotate the engine for it to lock on the waterpump. All the cam markings go past the markings on the case by about 1 centimetre.
Am I doing something wrong?
The locking tool seems to only go on one way.

If anyone can help I would be very grateful
Cheers, Luke

Hi, I have recently purchased A 1996 2.5 v6 omega and since viewing this website I am to worried to drive it as its mileage is 135000 miles and I have no proof of A cam belt change. Definately at the top of the to-do list! Congratulations on A great site.

P.s. How do I get A cambelt dvd?
