Well fitted a genuine part from my local main dealer, cleared the fault codes
Oh also changed the thermostat, whoever designed that needs a good talking too
It’s now running really smoothly with no more problems, just hope this one lasts
Thanks for advice guys

So far the best main dealer price is £52 + vat, but they do reconize that there is two types which is a good sign

My frends son also works for a main dealer so just see if he can get a better deal

Yeh may get a spare just in case,
I have keep it away as much a possible from the exhausts, which are heat wrapped and if anything further away than they would have been on the Omega  (it’s in a Triumph TR7 Convertible)
Thanks

I will have another look at it,
Then I think I will go genuine (the Siemens one that’s failed was not of eBay but a online motor factors) this was meant to be  genuine but now I am not to shure

And go armed with the Reg, Vin and Engine numbers.
I am going to be keeping this car for a long time so don’t want to be doing this again

Thanks Guys
Back to work tonight, so its going to be next week before I can look at again, I will take it out and check its gone in right, pretty sure it has.
 My worry is if I buy a genuine one, can you trust the dealer to give you the correct part looks like even they are not too sure.
Amazing how something which should be so simple just isn’t

Hi thanks

Yes the complete wiring loom and ecu were transferred but after reading the link http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=96562.0
And considering that is one of the last 2.5 then I would have maybe expected to see a Bosh part not the Siemens which has failed again, and if what’s said in the article is to be believed then the main agents can’t get it right
You see my problem

 Thanks
Yes mine was a W Reg and Yes it’s a Ebay Siemens type but  the wiring is a real mix that’s why I am thinking it should be the later Bosh type
I was hoping someone has a similar model year and may know

That’s what  I was thinking, the car was facelift just before they went to 2.6 so its in no man’s land in a lot  of areas

It’s a long story but the car the engine when hot would not go above 3000 revs, I replaced like for like, a Siemens unit, this cleared the problem
It looked like it had been changed before, maybe twice the old cables were just cut off
Its done about 500 miles and now when it gets hot it keeps cutting out and saying no signal(but not putting the dash light on} I clear the code then 5 minutes later it comes back
Now I have read that putting the wrong type in, they may run for a while and then cause problems
( I have swopped engines but that’s another story )

Can anybody tell me which crank sensor should be fitted to my 2.5 v6,it a W Reg facelift car
Is it the Siemens or the Bosch ?
The reason I am asking is I believe I may have been fitted with the wrong one
Thanks

I've had a couple of V8 SD1's, Including a Vitesse and its all down the exhaust But v6 give you a good 20 Bhp more, probably better MPG than the old 2.0 The v8 is great engine but its very old outdated and drinks petrol for fun
