Apparently all the same, it's the same clutch used in the 2.6 / 3.2 and 3.0 and apparently 2.2 DTI.

My 3.2 estate had a gearbox from a DTI fitted, with the DTI clutch aswell. Seemingly it was exactly the same!

OK sorry chaps, I know it doesn't take much but I'm really confused

The consensus on here is that the 2.6/3.0 clutch kit is the same one that's fitted to the 2.2 DTi.

Yet - researching the parts on buypartsby website, only the 2.2 DTi one is the SAC (self adjusting clutch). The others just appear to be a normal clutch kit.

So - it can't possibly be the same clutch kit? As the 3.0 for example isn't self adjusting and doesn't need the tool?

Also - the buypartsby website specifically says that the 2.2DTi repset clutch kit they sell does NOT come with a release bearing! (unless you buy the "pro" one, which is over £100 more!!)

Yet - the 3.0 clutch kit listed does come with a bearing, and is just over £100.

I don't have a tool to evenly install the pressure plate on a self adjusting clutch.

Is there any good reason why I cannot or should not buy a clutch kit for a 3.0 litre model and just fit that? Would it cause any harm? The car will not be used for any towing at any point.

I'd really appreciate some opinions as I want to start the repairs ASAP

Wrong. Totally different part number on VX TC site
2.6/3.0 is 93185903
2.2DTI  is 93185906

No other Omega uses the 2.2DTI part number

Cheers Rob. Can you check if the flywheel is the same part please?

[JamesV6CDX]

And while your'e at it, please could you give me a part no for the release bearing on the 2.2 DTi, so I can see about getting one from VX if needsbe?

[RobG]

Only DMF listed is for the 2.2DTI #9201098

[JamesV6CDX]

Only DMF listed is for the 2.2DTI #9201098

And is that different to the V6 ones?

Unsure James. As said, TC site only lists the DMF for 2.2DTI

[VXL V6]

I'm told the DMF is very robust in these.

My line of thought is that if it's the same DMF as v6, I could get away with a 3.0 clutch kit

[serek]

V6 flywheel wont fit it to DTI !

you can try use clutch of V6 with dti flywheel
have both will check tomorrow in workshop if can be exhange

edit:

if you get stuck have tool here if you need to borrow

[05omegav6]

The repset pro also includes a 'free' slave cylinder for the extra cash... About £90 separately

[JamesV6CDX]

If you could please serek as I'm hoping to order the bits today

Just been looking up summat in the Vauxhall 2003 Omega sales brochure, and stumbled on this...

The petrol 2.2 (and presumably the 2.0) has a clutch diameter of 229mm.

The diesel 2.2 and the 2.6 (and presumably the 3.2) have a clutch diameter of 241mm.

The Dti and 2.2 have the same gearbox ratios. The 2.6 ratios are different.

All have different diff ratios too.
