Evening guys, anyone help me with my self leveling headlights, they never worked when i had the car and its a pretty pointless system, as for the prices of replacements :/ anyone know if you can convert them to manual? So i can control the height from the headlamp switch? Its a 2002 2.6 mv6, cheers

Omega General Help / 3.2 timing and belt tensoon
« on: 24 August 2019, 17:32:20 »
evening everyone, hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this issue im having, i brought a timing kit from gates for my 3.2 v6, and found out there are 3 diff types, the type i have is the one with a short backplate and come's with 3 tensioner pully's, i would add pics but i have no idea how  :( the haynes manual only shows the tension sequence for the 2.5/3.0, does anyone know if the belt tension sequence (and amount of tension) is the same for all the kits? no matter the location of the idler pulley ? as mine is higher than the one in the Haynes book, hope that makes sense, cheers

Omega General Help / 2.6 , which cams are better for low end?
« on: 03 January 2019, 13:59:53 »
Afternoon, does anyone know cam set up in a 2.6 is better for low end performance increase? I currently have a 2.6 with the original cams in, ( not sure what they are though)
Read up alot of stipulation on what cams to put in, G+A  or G+G, i have 4xG cams already, although im slightly concerned as 2 of the g cams where from my 3.2 and the other 2 i purchased i have no idea what engine they came from. Would the best setup for low end be G+A cams? And does the 2.6 already have A cams in? Cheers!

Omega General Help / Diesel gearbox on a 3.2
« on: 27 August 2018, 10:20:55 »
Hey, I've just recently acquired a 3.2 lump for a future conversion (needs gaskets changed and painting) currently have a 2.6 at the moment and the gearbox would melt under the 3.2, but was wondering if a 2.5td gearbox bolts onto the 3.2 lump, not sure if its been done before, i know there alot stronger and the gearing ratio is better any help would be appreciated  ;D

Omega General Help / Oil catcher tank?
« on: 19 June 2018, 08:10:12 »
Heya guys, got my self a oil catcher tank, but just trying to figure out the best route for it, would it be inline from the crank case breather pipe into the tank and then back into into the plenum rails? Getting annoyed with oil residue going back into the induction (stupid idea vauxhall)  ;D cheers!

Omega General Help / 2.6 mv6 intermittent starting problem.
« on: 30 May 2018, 14:32:04 »
Hey all, currently having a problem with my 2.6 omega estate, this group has been a godsend since purchasing my first omega, any queries or problems I've had i have found answer to on this forum, but this one has stumped me. Its recently been failing to start, sometimes it will and sometimes it will just turn over, no fault codes appear when it fails to start, but if i leave it for a while and go back it will randomly fire up fine, ive changed the crank sensor for a genuine one from Vauxhall (£81  :'( ) checked all of the vacuum lines, fuel pump etc etc, battery is brand new, recently had a service, so have written all of the basic problems out. Im worried to drive her now as forking out for constant low loaders is hurting my wallet  :D atm ive got someone repairing my key as it won't re-sync with the car after a battery change, he did diagnose a faulty transponder ring, but I'm a slightly sceptical as the EML has never flashed me when its failed to start, any ideas or help would be highly appreciated, i don't want to get rid of her but i can't live with this as a common fault, thankyou  :)
