Omega General Help / I'm fed up!! Tappet noise!!
« on: 28 March 2014, 12:51:17 »
Hi, I'm after a bit of advice please

I've just bought a really nice 2.6 v6, when I looked at it it had been standing and the tappets were noisy, my thoughts were that this was normal for hydraulics and they would quieten down with running, so I went away looked at one or two other cars and decided to plump for this one.

Anyway I picked it up yesterday and after about 10 miles the noise got louder!! I stopped, checked the oil,filthy but all there, and drove it home slowly, it sounds like a bag of spanners!! but all very top end so I assume the hydraulic lifters are knackered.

Before I start is there any advice, flushing wynns etc etc or should I just wade in and take it to bits?

Any comments (apart from scrap it) would be welcomed

Tom

Omega General Help / Misfire 3.0 MV6
« on: 03 March 2009, 22:16:32 »
Hi, I'm new to the forum and really like these cars but they are testing my patience!! I bought and elite estate at new year and the engine blew so I sold it and bought a BMW!! Hated that so I have bought an MV6. It ran great for about a week then started to misfire when it was on tickover, I cleaned the idle valve as suggested without success. Now the misfire has developed, over the last day or so it has misfired from cold and then cleared (except tickover) but now it is clearly down on at least one cyl, I bought some new plugs today and fitted 5, I couldn't get the cap off the rear l/h bank, some of the others were full of oil, so the cam box gasket is duff!!  It' still on 5? and rough as hell, anyone got any ideas of where to go next or get the cap off the back plug!!

Thanks

Omega General Help / Erratic tickover
« on: 24 February 2009, 12:09:05 »
Hi, guys, I'm new here, just bought an MV6 and the tickover is erratic at idle, it feels as though a plug is on it's way out, will it be that simple or should I look at other things as well?
