Omega General Help / Re: 2.6 Oil Sump - gasket or not?

« on: 02 April 2020, 18:02:00 »

It's in Haynes

Waste of time doing that to the upper seal.

Better off lifting the engine six inches and resealing it properly as per the lower sump... Although, it's not my car

I would love to do it right given I had more time, it's not a terrible leak, just a sweat. Mainly wanted to get sump off, clean it out, fix dent, paint it and check the pick up, which was spotless.

Don't have haynes for omega so will just have to go with low teens NM.

Yes defo no gasket, i've just removed it, also slid a bit of sealer up the side of the upper pan where it seems to be leaking, cleaned it all out, sprayed some brake cleaner to remove deposits and applied sealer, the proper stuff.

Also anyone know the torque settings for the sump, imagining around low teens 15nm or similar?

Omega General Help / 2.6 Oil Sump - gasket or not?

« on: 02 April 2020, 11:43:05 »

I've read there is no gasket for the sump on the 2.6 so got the appropriate sealer -  93165267. Having a look at diagram this morning it certainly looks like there is a gasket, for the bottom pan and the top plate as well? Can anyone confirm as I want to take both the sump and the upper plate off to seal as I have leak. Diagram here shows gasket no 17 for top, and 26 for bottom pan.

If you've no one to help, lift corner of bonnet above headlight then jam something in like a small screwdriver just to hold pressure upwards, then it should pop.

Don't use copper slip on them  it is an antiseize rather than a lubricant.
Ideally, you need a heat resistant lubricant for the sliders due to the heat that can be generated ftom the brakes. I personally apply a very light smear of a CV joint grease on the slider pins before reassembly - works perfectly for me when overhauling this type of caliper.

Wouldn't ever use copperslip on moving part. If I've not got CV grease to hand just use normal grease.

When you freed off the sliding calipers, were the boots intact and did you lubricate the sliders - if so what did you use? A firmer than normal pedal could be related to the sliding caliper sticking again. Worth checking first before bleeding or dismantling the master cylinder.

Quite sure the boot was intact, I think it had just fallen off it's lip somehow, just the top one. I used some standard grease to lube them up. I'll give it a double check tomorrow.

Omega General Help / Brakes crap again

« on: 26 September 2019, 08:07:25 »

Hi

So a couple of months ago I changed the fluid, replaced back discs pads, gave the rear pistons a freeing off, not that they were seized per say, mainly gave them a bit of movement to keep them free moving - the old inny outy!. I also found the slider on F/N/S caliper a bit stuck so freed that off and checked other side, which was ok. After this the brakes had a nice sharp bite to them, for a couple of weeks, then one day it went back to how they were before i.e pedal goes quite far down before bite and more of a shove to stop.

I have noticed on very rare occasion they are back to being good i.e. firm pedal. Could it be air still in the system. I used a ezi-bleed to change fluid.

Cheers
Andrew

Omega General Help / Diff Oil Seal 2.6 v6

« on: 25 September 2019, 09:30:49 »

Hi

I'm looking about the site for part number for the diff pinion oil seal. I'm seeing this number bandied about 24435952, see that also here

No 3: https://vauxhall.7zap.com/en/car/v94/m/3/4-1/?detail=24435952#3

However I seen the link to vauxhall car parts for that parrt no. and it says only for the Omega 2.0 > 2.2.

https://www.vauxhall-car-parts.co.uk/acatalog/24435952---Vauxhall-Rear-Axle-Pinion-Oil-Seal.html

Is it a different number for the v6 facelift?

Cheers

Andrew

All fixed, they'd replaced condenser and the pipes from that to compressor. Dealer said it was a strange one, they'd never seen anything like that before on one of these models. Initially they'd went to fix the seals at the pipes in the compressor then said that it was still leaking at condenser, would it be rude of me to think they bust something in the process of taking the pipes out?

They initially said it was defo a warranty job, but then had to take pics to send to "their insurance company" leading me to think they done some damage while trying to repair the original problem.

Well none of that matters. You've got your car back in working order. 

Didn't even have to open my toolbox - result!
