Which timing kit will I need
« on: 07 May 2013, 20:09:07 »
Hi
I'm about to change the timing belt on my Omega 3.2.

No-one seems to know which kit I need.

 The VIN is W0L0VBM6921046596 engine Y32SE number 08645562.

It has air con too

thanks in advance

If the backplate ID is different, swap over the backplate (but keep the new bearings/tensioner, obviously)

This is the one you need mate http://www.buypartsby.co.uk/details/VAUXHALL/OMEGA/3.2/2003/__/54/CT990K2/timing-belt-kit/ - these are Contitech kits (Vx oem supplier).  Used a few of these myself - never had any prolem with them.  HTH :y

great thanks for the advice dbug I'll order that one up.

Any recommendation on the timing lock kit. I live in France so won't be able to rent one so I'm looking for one for this one off job rather than a keeper, thanks

This is the type you need - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sealey-VSE130-Petrol-Engine-Setting-Locking-Kit-Saab-Vauxhall-Opel-V6-Belt-/320863290167?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4ab4f14337 - this is a bit pricey IMO - if you're not in a hurry wait and you should get one for around £50 :y

I'm 10 minutes from Cannes, like it a lot here. But apparently you had a nice day Monday there so don't be greedy, too much sun isn't good for you!

I need to do the job in about 3 weeks so maybe a cheaper set will come up thanks for the advice Dbug
