Omega General Help / Re: changing v6 oil cooler pipes

« on: 02 February 2007, 18:16:13 »

Hi thanks for the info.
Heard the name of a crows foot spanner but not sure what it looks like. Is Crows foot the make?
Was told about the clip last night by a helpful bloke at the nearby vauxhall dealer and will give it a try, cheers about the tip with the wiring.

Omega General Help / changing v6 oil cooler pipes

« on: 30 January 2007, 21:58:55 »

Hi all,
Got a 3.0 v6 ex old bill estate and been trying to do the oil cooler change job. Due to problems undoing the nuts on the pipes by the oil filter started to cut the pipes so i could get a socket over the nuts to get them off. Then managed to free them off with a combination of three types off spanners so i could get the angles required. I'm not sure how close i am to cutting through the pipes so don't want to chance them. Is it possible to change them with the engine in the car and if so are there any tricks changing them. Any help would be gratefully recieved.
Brilliant forum with lots of very helpfull advice.
Chers

Hi bought a 50 quid   1995 cd 2.5 v6 manual estate ebay special for towing my rally car, although up to the vast sum of 300 quid but now its on the road mot'd.

Drives really nicely but fuel comumptions a bit of a fright compared to my 2.0 i6v astra sport estate.

Heard lots about using acetone in the fuel, anybody done this with a v6 and using who's fuel ?

Dad runs a 2.5 cdx saloon, lovely car but got a ticking noise from the engine, haven't been abkle to get down to him lately to check out but wondered if any likely suspects other than sticky tappets ?
