I hang my head in shame guys!  I used the ratchet to pull the tensioner across, how simple!

Cheers for your help!

The bolt that hold the tensioner pulley in place seems loose, it moves back and forward.

Omega General Help / Strange noise from Fan Belt Tensioners

« on: 07 August 2009, 13:26:11 »

Noticed a noise this morning coming from one of the fan belt tensionser on the front of the engine, it seems to only make the noise when a gear is selected or when the car is moving slowly.  Do these need replaced or can they be lubricated? 

If they need changed i might as well do the belt as well.

Any idea how much tensioners cost.

cheers

Omega General Help / Re: which v6 is fastest?

« on: 18 July 2009, 15:06:49 »

I had a 2000 Vectra 2.5 v6 sri (167bhp?) before i bought the omega, both cars standard.  The omega is faster 0-60 and top end but the vectra was a better handling car.
