Omega General Help / Is This Really The End Of My Omega?
« on: 16 April 2018, 08:48:31 »
Hi All,
l'm a newbie and have written a bit about my Omega history in the Newbie Welcome Area section.
l have a 2.6 V6 24v Auto Elite 2003 which had some recent work done including both engine heads removed and skimmed and new cambelt kit. l was told that the water pump was okay, so it was not replaced. Problems are still developing with the car and it's too complex a situation to take it back.
When l turn over the engine a knocking noise comes from the top of it. Also water is leaking from the water pump. The AA say it is most likely the camshaft that is causing the problem and in effect the car is a write off. Another person has said similar. Can this work be done and at what cost? Is it worth it? The car has lots of new parts and new Michelin Sports tyres all round. The other biting question is, if l really have to get rid of this car, are there any other trusted Omegas out there at all for sale? Even an Estate?
Any help and advice will be most welcome. Thank you.
