Omega General Help / Re: water leaking from front of engine

« on: 06 July 2010, 17:32:49 »

Well Bert werent that difficult on retrospect, IF you have a manual, took me a few hours though, had to get the proper tools, cost of this = new pump, £30 inc, Timing kit, £49, Auxilary drive belt £18, set of Torx sockets £12, set of allen Key sockets,£5.99,  Total cost £115, and some skinned knuckles, Ps got the parts from Vauxcentre , they advertise on ebay, but they arent far from ( ten minutes so I saved on the postage as I collected, ) Looking in the manual I bet its a far more difficlt job on a V6 though !

Hi , to my respondants,Thanks for your input, Ive sorted the problem now, new water pump fitted, new cam/timing belt kit idlers, and new  tension thingamyjig, new auxilary drive belt also. First time for me on a project on this vehicle and Im pretty chufffed , got the timing spot on, and it runs sweet, ( fingers crossed) !!  What a difficult job though, had to buy Torx sockets and allen key sockets etc, as I didnt have those but all done,  I down loaded an Omega service manual ( I think from this site? )  and that helped a deal, , SOooo   next time I can do some servicing myself!  Have a good week guys, an ladies oif there are any.

THanks Tunnie , I just been out to have a look again, seems like a difficult job and I aint a mechanic! So it seems a new cam belt and new pump , gonna be pricey!

Omega General Help / water leaking from front of engine

« on: 04 July 2010, 17:55:05 »

Hope somone can shed some light on this problem.
I can see water dripping from the cam shaft area on the front of the engine ( 2.0litre 16V 1998) model . But I cant actually see where its coming from, it seems to be dripping near the oil filter area , and running down onto the cam pulley. Are  there any water ways behind the plastic front housing behind the fan/cam belt?
Hoping its not the head gasket but I cant see much without removing the front plastic housing, anybody got any ideas? There are No leaks from anyhoses that I can see.

I had my GLS 2.0 16v Auto now for about 2 years  Had a Bmw before it got smashed up so I bought this Omega real cheap, so I had some wheels. Never realised what a great car they are. , Had No problems except a clean out of the idler control valve. Im so Impressed by the guys on this site,seeing some of the cars on here and their fantastic condition, and how you guys are real enthuiasts,  Im hooked on Omegas now, SOooooo, Im going to get myself a newer one, maybe a v6. in Gold, (the colour not the metal-lol) ,  been looking around and seen some real nice ones at good money, but I aint rushing into one, got to get some dosh first!!  Any way thanks to all you guys who have helped out and and posted replies.
