Omega General Help / Re: Top hose
« on: 18 October 2022, 19:59:15 »
Apologies for sticking my nose in....but the talk of top hoses got me thinking about needing a new one at any time, bearing mind I have three cars to increase the chance of needing any sort of hoses for the V6's. And I was wondering whether Silicone would be a feasible alternative to the stupidly expensive second hand rubbish on Fleabay. I have found a company called Merlin Motorsports in Wiltshire who say that they can make to a given pattern, and was wondering whether the V6 engines generate too much heat for Silicone hoses :-\

I guess if he wants to take the risk, then I may well do the deal. If they are a correct fit then he should be happy with what I'm asking for them....which is only a small percentage of the total cost of the refurb. ::)

Thanks Al, but I can confirm that the pipes for the 3.2 and possibly the rest of the V6 range are completely different to the 2.2 system and the 2.0....much learned through my cock up and financial loss in getting the wrong set refurbished :-[ I am trying to sell that set to a member on here that wants them for his 2.0, and I'm not confident that they are compatible with his car. :-\

Omega General Help / A/C pipes.

Quick question...can anyone tell me if there is a difference in the fitment between the A/C pipes on the 2.0 and the 2.2. TIA :y

Should brighten up the engine bay up a bit, which with all nasty pre owned junk that's being punted around on fleabay at stupid prices,there's no comparison. :)

Thanks for the original Autovaux tip off, but they emailed me just now, saying that they don't stock them anymore. So Rock Auto was the right choice in this case, and I think that if I get stuck again I think they are well worth a shot, bearing in mind that the Catera was a 3.0,and that may help a bit for my 3.0 MV6 for the odd part, but not a lot for my 3.2's. :y

 Just to clear up the point on the price, they add UK VAT plus their own delivery charge making the bottom line a bit hefty :o But there's no point in chasing your backside here, for possibly a non existent part, life's to short ;)

Yes.....had AC Delco or another make copy. The AC Delco was knocking on the door of £100, so I cheaped out for the copy  ;)

Thanks for the advice, I think that I looked at Autovaux, and they were showing out of stock at the moment. I might well look for a used one. Although that in itself may only be a short term option, new would really be the way to go. These cars are getting a bit of problem on some parts as the numbers diminish, it's not really a viable option to manufacture for the small market that would need them. :y

Just checking....AutoVaux has new OE expansion tanks for £53, but no sensor fitment. So I guess when push comes to shove, then as long as the non sensor tank does its job, there's still the temp gauge to keep an eye on things OR just carry on with the old one and spend the money on Thatchers blood orange and sit in the garden and do nothing  8) :y

To be honest, I only found the problem yesterday and after faffing around with the errant float, I sort  of decided on replacing the tank. So hence the wanted post but without thinking about the fitting of a replacement tank. I'll have to look up the how to in the help section. So not sure about your query....but I'm sure that when I come across the problem...I'll break it! ::) ;)

Had a game of pin the donut down with the float in the expansion tank, but no luck. So had a look on fleabay, and there are some new ones available in Germany but...£26.00 apiece and £34.00 postage, and  that's a no from me! So has anybody got one kicking around and for sale? it's just that coolant level warning is getting on my wick >:(  TIA :y
