A friend in need
« on: 03 December 2008, 11:28:43 »
Hi, I'm new to the world of Vauxhall (always fancied a Senator), but a friend of mine has an omega (R reg 2.0 16v) with a failed head gasket and no money this close to christmas, so a friend indeed (ME!!) said I would help...first mistake!
Went to a breakers yard and bought a 2.0 16v from an N reg...second mistake!
These engine look the same at first glance but sump/ oil pick up/ balancer shafts all diferent! Can I use the old style engine? or is there an equivalent engine in a vectra or something?
I would really like to get this car back to her before christmas so any help and advice would be appreciated.. Thanks Pete
