Omega General Help / Re: Omega Tyre Choice (not too expensive)

« on: 14 June 2008, 18:22:46 »

I got 4 Wanli got em cheapo read bad reports about em since (doh) but have had no probs with em so far done about 2k, supposedly there noisey but cant say I noticed as hearing aid switched off LOL ! Treads are abit like Uniroyal Rainsport but 1/2 the price.......... 8-)

I got 4 newish Wanli tyres on mine too and I haven't had problems with them, even on very wet roundabouts

When I got my Mig it had four new wanli's fitted the are good on the dry but awful in the wet unless you like driving sideways The two on the front actually started to delaminate there tread after 12k miles

Mine don't seem to give me problems wet or dry. May be a different "model" or made elsewhere.... could be many reasons why the difference.

Your not trying hard enough

I meant while driving as one should. I deliberately turned TC off once to see what the fuss about RWD was all about. T'was fun

Omega General Help / Re: SAI system...

Is there a fuse for the SAI I can remove for the time being, until I can get under it to remove the system?

TheBoy, do you mean the EGR solenoid?

No, the solenoid if for SAI. Sits near rad/battery, has vac pipes going to it. If you follow pipes from SAI pump, you'll see it

Yes I know what you mean now, found it. I'll leave that plugged in

Thanks for the replies. I asume I can "unscrew" the pipes from the manifolds and blank them with a short bolt with the same thread. What are the thread sizes I should get hold of?

Omega General Help / SAI system...

I'm having abit of trouble with the SAI, can I remove this system completely and will it affect anything once removed?

I am thinking that with all the pipework for this out the way, cambelt changes might be a little easier :-)

Hello all

Just bought a decent Omega 2.5 v6 Reflection.  I've been into vauxhalls for a while but this is my first Omega. Must say I'm pretty impressed with it, so nice to drive
