« on: 15 April 2014, 10:24:26 »
What water pump out of these 2 is the right one for my Omega 2.2 CD 2003 petrol manual and why?

Are you just doing pump !


The tab on the GM One (LEFT) is longer than the pattern part one from them, So you have to make sure you position it correctly(pic Below)  :y

No. I will be doing Conti Cambelt kit CT924K1 and the water pump from them. Is there anything else I should look out for or do when it's all apart?

I know I have an oil leak on the front but I'm not sure where its comming from.

You need the cams locking tool  :y And there are 3 allen key bolts to remove on the pump.Make sure your Tool is well seated inside the bolts before you apply pressure,Otherwise they will chew up. :y

Not all 2.2's have the marker in the block either to indicate what angle the pump should be  :(

Tunnie. Do you mean that dish shape thing on the black back plate.
And that is probably why the pattern part makers never made the tab on the pump the same length as the GM one  :y
