Omega General Help / Re: Timeing Belt/Kit
« on: 27 March 2022, 03:08:13 »
You need a kit with a water pump. A seized pump can throw the belt.

Omega General Help / Re: V6 exhaust to manifold gaskets
« on: 18 March 2022, 21:01:26 »
Do you mean the manifold to downpipe gasket? Vauxhall part #90499289, 1 per bank? Or did you mean the head(s) to manifold(s) gasket(s)?
Even the third party manifold to downpipe gasket(s) shouldn't fail so quick. Something else must be wrong.

Omega General Help / Re: EP90 Diff Oil
« on: 17 March 2022, 16:10:26 »
Haynes says that all 2.0 models, manual and automatic, use 3.90:1 diffs.
The 2.2 16v use 3.9:1 for manual and 4.22:1 for auto.
There should be a tag plate on your existing diff. There is a two character type code at the top right. The lower line on the plate states the ratio, in your case "39 : 10=3.90". At this age the tag plates are often lost.

Or try a nice classic metal can.
Probably none of the containers will have a long enough spout to get an angle to pour the oil into the filler hole.
A drone from the rear that varies with road speed is almost certainly a worn differential as opposed to the wheel bearings. A problem that afflicts all RWD Opels and Vauxhalls.

EPC indicates that the part number is 90468842. This site suggests that the screws are M12 x 62.

Omega General Help / Re: 3.2 exhaust system.
« on: 02 March 2022, 16:02:33 »
Seems to me that POLMOstrów (Polmo) in Poland is the only firm still manufacturing Omega exhausts. Parts have an embossed 'P' logo.
I believe one of the other members was recently able to get one from Auspuffteile.de here. I believe, but you should check, that kit 351 is a Saloon (Sedan) and kit 353 is an Estate (Kombi). They list shipping costs of €15 and 4 days to the UK.
You may have to pay VAT and a clearance fee. Shouldn't be any duty as it's under the limit of Ł135.00. You could ask.
They don't list Vauxhall parts separately so you're looking for Opel Omega B parts.
I had the 350 kit for a 2.5 some years ago. It was fine and shipped from Germany in less than a week. A perfect fit. Eternal car also supplied the Polmo parts.
One irritation with all of the exhausts, including Eternal Car, is that they have taken to cutting the downstream pipes near the centre boxes. They supply sleeves to join them back together. This is to reduce the length of the shipping carton and presumably the shipping cost. In principle this should not be a big deal however we found it's more difficult to get everything properly aligned without the use of a ramp.

Omega General Help / Re: Front brake caliper
« on: 28 February 2022, 11:18:49 »
This post seems to be what you need.
If anyone needs the front brake screws for the Lucas caliper I have found they are M8's, pitch is 1.25 (this is the coarser thread option), the total length is 41.5mm and the spanner size is 9mm. I couldn't find many people selling the right length but Big Red Ltd sell them on their website and on eBay - their part number is BRB880010.

Omega General Help / Re: Crank sensor x20xev
« on: 30 January 2022, 04:30:40 »Autodoc can usually obtain a genuine Bosch sensor via Germany.The sensor is for a four pot petrol so it has Siemens Simtec electronics. There won't be a Bosch original part. The Siemens part is 5WK90541 or 5WK90541Z. Usually the best way to buy a genuine Siemens part for an Opel is via VDO (Continental).
The X20XE engine was also used in Astras and Vectras so with a bit of luck third party sensors are more likely to work as there is a much bigger market. So hopefully the Hella part will be a success.
