I'm fairly confident that if it was a bearing faliure of any kind, it would make a craking noise but tend to make more of a screeching noise !

Surelt cant be that doomed or be that much of a coincidence that the coil pack might be on its way out and the tensioner bearing at the same time !!!

If it is tensioner bearing , its maybe not expect that the cars engine  be on this earth much longer RIP  :'(

Maybe a full set of cylinders, but a sandwich short of a pinic for spending all that money on fuel and spark plugs  ;D

In all fairness the v6 (esp 2.5) isn't much worse than 4 pots on fuel unless you boot it everywhere. Obviously, the 2.0/2.2 is a little better economy wise, cheaper to insure, esp for younger drivers, and a damn site easier to work on...

aHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i knew there was a reason for me owning a 2.2 !!!

I'm not as old as you  heheheheh ahahahahahha , cant afford the insurance !!!

Serioiusly, i had the opurtunity to change my car nearly a year ago now ( owing to the fact i tried syncronised car dancing and came of worse)

Always fancied an Omega, het paying insurance, so opted for a 2.2 !

When the next oppurtunity arrises, i will be going for a V6 version !

Kind of cutting my teeth on the Omega brand, and LOVING IT !

Still favour water or oil in the plug wells.....

2.2's dont do that  :o .....ur mixing the prob up with totally unreliable V6's AA  ;D

Sorry to disagree TD, it happened to mine if you remember, water in the plug wells.

Its fixed  :D

And it was 2.2 after all.....

It wasnt the coil pack.....nor water in the plug wells.....

But a knackered spark plug......the earth point on the plug had disapeared  :o

New plugs and started up.....no missing....lots of revs and still no missing....then crack crack noise  :-?

Let the revs drop and cracking noise went away....let it idle for a few mins....still ok....rev'd again and still ok.....and noise hasnt re-appeared  :)

Now if i was to guess what the odd noise was.....i reckon it was the bit of the plug that had disapeared...and into the cylinder  :( Hopefully no damage has been done......and the said bit has now been fired out down the exhaust.

I guess thats what happens when the plugs aint been changed for 2 years  ;)

Cheers

TD thats brilliant !!

Well done, for the diagnostics .

I should imagine the finger on the end of the plug isnt that hard, and the valves are harder !

As long as there isnt any tappet/valve noise now, you could well have got away with it !

I once dropped a spring washer down the inlet manifold of a Capri, ohhhh hahahahahhaha  you could hear it working its way back trough the engine and exhaust ! . I even managed to find it after wards and it was mashed to hell !!! Amazing what a few thousand hits on the valve assembly will do to a washer !

Just wonder why it was making such a noise !!! Was it really that loud !!!
