Oil filler neck swivelling
« on: 30 March 2007, 15:06:05 »
My oil filler neck swivels round and pops out without any effort and at the cambelt party someone (I think it was Laidback) said there was a bolt which was supposed to hold it in place. I went to Vauxhall to get this bolt and I can't for the life of me work out where it goes or how it could possibly work, can anyone tell me?!

There is no bolt.  The filler should have a tab about 1 - 2" long at bottom with a hole in it.  This hole slips over one of the cam cover bolts...

Well I don't think I have anything like that on mine - will have to look later. Is this something that looks like it could easily break off?

Find someone breaking a car, such as JamesV6CDX, I'm sure he will do you a very good price.

You may possibly need to replace the black o ring, if yours looks hard...

The old Omega CD I had didnt have a filler tube the cap fitted straight onto the rocker cover. It was a absolute bugger to get oil into it without spilling it everwhere and I didn't know any different because this place didn't exist then :'(
