took a trip up to Stoke to see Daz for cam belt change and other things,  left my car to Dr. Daz who sorted it out ,cam belt, water pump aux. belt cam cover gaskets etc.  my car must have appreciated it as it purred home..... I can only thank Daz  and throughly recommend him to any person reading this who need ANYTHING done to an Omega,he looks like an expert to me.......

Omega General Help / cam belt

« on: 21 February 2011, 16:32:20 »

hi, I have a 2.6 auto, and looking through the service book a naew cam belt was fitted in August 07 and have learned from this forum,this needs to be checked and /or replaced in 4 years or 40,000 miles, well I havent done anywhere near the miles but the 4 years is approaching I have a price of about£375 for replacemant, can any members enlighten me if this important enough to spend this money, I only do about 8000miles a year  what would be the consequences if I didnt have it done and it went wrong? (I would add that the belt was changed in 2007, before I bought the car so am not clued up on the proceedure.... many thanks

I feel I can answer this as I had my cam belt changed only yesterday by Daz, It cost be about half what I too was quoted by a vauxhall dealer I travelled 200 miles to dazs place on recommendation from other members of this forum and I can assure you I was not disappointed there are one or two mechanics on the forum that do these jobs,  and I am sure will do the job well and cheaper,   I watched Daz do the job and  my belief is that he is an expert.  I cant say more than that......

thanks Kevin, I did a rough check by calulating the miles I travelled and the fuel I used I put in £56.00 of petrol done 180 miles and had left in the tank roughly the same as when I filled up.  I worked this out as approx. 30p a mile towing. do you think this is reasonable?

Omega General Help / MPG?

« on: 18 April 2008, 18:18:29 »

HI, after successfuly towing with my 2.6auto the one problem i found was my MPG. It is normally around 24.6 it stayed the same while towing 197 miles, Is this what members mean to have a tech2 to update my comp. asI think my MPG towing would be around 16/18MPG,  My local Vaux garage have the Tech 2 facility, any members know how much this would cost,, many thanks
