Some cars are petrol powered, some are diesel. Some have chains, some have belts, there's no connection between the two.  ;) ;) ;)

Think it only applies to the 2.5TD which is a BMW engine and therefore uses a timing chain.

This guy got his wires crossed with the previous post.
He was just saying that whatever engines from BMW were used in the Omega....would be Timing chains..

Which is correct, as the only engine used from BMW is the 2.5 td....which does indeed have a chain.
No need to make it more complicated.
