Hi mate and welcome to the forum
Your cambelt & tensioners need changing every 4 years or 40,000 mile intervals which ever is the sooner

P.s St. Austell is a gorgeous place, been to Pentewan Sands quite a few times for our holidays

You could always speak to Derek @ GM6 who's a GM specialist in mostly straight six cars but is now branching out into the Omegas.

He's down in Sancreed, Nr Penzance so it is a bit of a treck for you, let me know if you want contact details

Cheers

I'm in Helston and could do it for you but I no longer have the locking kit as I sold it when my Omega went

Vauxhall dealer told me it is 80K on these models, mine is 2001 too. I've just changed the belt, personally, because I was not sure if it had been replaced within schedule, won't bore you with the details...worrying though. The thing is that the old belt looked like new. Idlers and tensioners less so. All changed now. Too much of a risk not to. Has anyone noticed that in the latest Vauxhall genuine parts, the timing belt does not carry the timing marks/crankshaft marks! Made the change a little more tricky!

I'm going to Woolacomb in a few weeks ..... I could bring my kit!  (need to see Ian_D first though  )

You might think it's crap but that is not what they say, it may be 40K for earlier models and I've seen the belt that I took off mine. If you think it's crap then why don't you find out and help us save some money by giving the correct information....

40k or 4 years for all Vx cam belts. RobG is correct ......... the dealer is mis-informed/wrong

[allen25]

Best of luck to you then but times change.

He did, pity your dealer couldn't be bothered to. It's not the belts that let go it's the tensioners so your seeing the belt comment is irrelevant.

I'll echo the above, its 40k or 4 years, Vauxhall dropped it due to too many failures. Its not the belts that go, its the tensioners.

[Elite Pete]

40k or 4 years on ALL Omegas. Your dealers wrong.

[allen25]

They are not, you just have another experience or view.
