Mid way through doing mine mate, turning into a bit of a pig of a job. You sure it is not the downpipe to manifold seal?

TBH I wouldn't know, I got Kwik Fit to stick it on their ramp, they reckoned it was the gasket.

I would say its the rubber pipe connecting the SAI to the manifold

Definitely check your SAI pipe before deciding it's the gasket, then replacing it, like I did, like a dweeb! That wasn't pleasant!

as to what's next..... ??   got to be a crank sensor shortly i'd have thought......   they're almost considered a "consumable" on the omega....

Please, everyone, stop giving Kwick fitup business. No really.

...and if you do go there, don't believe a bloody word they say.


Although having said that, it might be the manifold gasket. It could be other things as well though, so check those first, and cirtainly don't let them do the work.

Pm Daz if your not diy'ing.

Thanks for the replies  , I had no intention of using Kwik Fit, just wanted to borrow the ramp , Elite Pete does my work for me.
