Also, remember in this case, that the maintaining dealer was Crownhill Vauxhall/Evans Halshaw in MK.  That factor alone stopped me considering it further, because their 'service' department is awful.

And good luck to Marks_DTM, as he has now got a car that has had the Crownhill treatment for a good proportion of its life ;)

Dont think it really matters which dealer you go to.....its very much hit and miss...sometimes one dealer can sort a 'complicated' prob out first time.....then same dealer carnt sort a 'simple' prob  :(

EDIT:

While we may not like certain garages and their alleged practices we cannot go and post comments which are libelous/slanderous on a public forum.

I have removed the offending posts.

I agree Dave, but I just have to say Acme Quick Fix Any Old How Garages for Omegas Plc leave a lot to be desired.

Point taken Jamie, but I know what you mean about talking BS.

I looked at a used citroen once, about 2 years ago. The salesman on the forecort was banging on that it would be so good because it had power steering.

I drove it, sat in it, and it blatently did NOT have power steering, it was heavy as anything!! He was insistent that it did have it when I asked, so I lifted the bonnet, and asked him to point out the steering pump or hydraulic pipes or fluid tank. He said that it wouldn't have one, because it was electric!

Electric power steering on a K reg Citroen diesel? I think not!!!!

Prime example of the balls some people will feed you.

03 v6's have a none ecentric bottom roller and the top casting that holds the tensioner and top roller is a different shape - but use the same rollers - i would still change them at 40k to be on the safe side!

I think the answer would be to find out if the 03 MY engine uses a different cambelt kit. If not its the same tensioner that can fail after 40k on the previous years engine.

Guys, what is the difference between these timing belt sets? 9201887 and 93172354. Apparently only the first one will fit to my engine (y32se) because of serial number, but what is the actual difference between those two sets?

I found this post on google :D didn't even read it from beginning. I saw someone chatting about them numbers so I thought someone will know? Also, the first number is cheaper, well, at least on ebay. There is 20 quid difference.

I also think the is a diference on partof the alloy tensioner.  But cant remember hy.

Marks_DTM or JamesV6CDX are probably the best members to advise.

Tensioner back plate and lower idler is different

However, the backplate can be re-used and either idler type can be used if you get stuck

I got caught out by this old thread as well :-[. If any body needs to know what the 3 kits look like for all V6 engines from 2.5 to 3.2 see pics below. The part numbers are SKF reference numbers NOT Vauxhall`s. :y

 





As you can see the rear tensioners are different in each kit. Hope this helps :y
