P.s St. Austell is a gorgeous place, been to Pentewan Sands quite a few times for our holidays :y

You could always speak to Derek @ GM6 who's a GM specialist in mostly straight six cars but is now branching out into the Omegas.
He's down in Sancreed, Nr Penzance so it is a bit of a treck for you, let me know if you want contact details
Cheers

I'm in Helston and could do it for you but I no longer have the locking kit as I sold it when my Omega went :'(
-
Vauxhall dealer told me it is 80K on these models, mine is 2001 too. I've just changed the belt, personally, because I was not sure if it had been replaced within schedule, won't bore you with the details...worrying though. The thing is that the old belt looked like new. Idlers and tensioners less so. All changed now. Too much of a risk not to. Has anyone noticed that in the latest Vauxhall genuine parts, the timing belt does not carry the timing marks/crankshaft marks! Made the change a little more tricky!

I'm going to Woolacomb in a few weeks ..... I could bring my kit! ;) ;) (need to see Ian_D first though ;))

You might think it's crap but that is not what they say, it may be 40K for earlier models and I've seen the belt that I took off mine. If you think it's crap then why don't you find out and help us save some money by giving the correct information....

40k or 4 years for all Vx cam belts. RobG is correct ......... the dealer is mis-informed/wrong
-
Best of luck to you then but times change.

He did, pity your dealer couldn't be bothered to. It's not the belts that let go it's the tensioners so your seeing the belt comment is irrelevant.
-

I'll echo the above, its 40k or 4 years, Vauxhall dropped it due to too many failures. Its not the belts that go, its the tensioners.
-
40k or 4 years on ALL Omegas. Your dealers wrong.
-
They are not, you just have another experience or view.

This one was very lucky

Ok chap whatever you say, you can lead a horse to water and all that. Oh and when you need a top end rebuild drop me a line or I could buy your car off you for breaking ;D ;D ;D
-
Always amazes me when people come on here for advice then when they get it start to argue that they know best.
Why bother? Just go with whatever your dealer has incorrectly told you but don't come bleating on here when your valves have a chat with the piston crowns, take it back to him. I'm sure he'll be more than helpful and the bill will be more than the car's worth.
-

What makes you so sure they are right? ::)
OOF has been running for nearly7 years now, we have seen countless belt failures, due to tensioners failing. (including later V6's) I have invoices from Vauxhall that at the bottom say, change belt every 40k/4 years on every petrol Omega.
Why don't you ring some other dealers? See what they say ;)

Even better, get your dealer to put it in writing that your Omega doesn't need a cambelt kit replacement until 80k or 8 years, I bet they decline ::)

Something tells me this chap may be short on help in the future ::)

Shame, but what is the point if you can't pass on your experience. All the best to you and thank's for the help in the past! Will not have any trouble in sorting it!

Not much point passing on the knowledge that your dealer is shite, we knew that from your first statement.
-
ok, sorry to have bothered you
-
well ive just been talking to parts department here 2min ago to see if my parts are in and i asked this very question..
and after tapping away on keybord he said..4 years or 40 000 ....so i think you need to ring a proper main dealer and not a pattern part one. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Maybe AndyC (the 4th poster on this thread) can put Allens mind at rest. He works for a Vauxhall dealership ;)

There are plenty of people passing on their experience. You could also argue that there's no point if people don't listen to it. (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/26795734/Smilies/bangshead.gif)
The Omega petrol engines were indeed originally specified with an 80K service interval for the cam belt and tensioners. GM were swamped with warranty repairs on the early engines where the tensioners failed to last this period by a wide margin and in response they issued a bulletin reducing the interval to 40k/4 years. Your dealer has simply not bothered to check this and is pulling a figure out of his head.
OK, so if you insist what your dealer says is gospel, that's fair enough. That aside, I would point out that we have significant independent experience with Omega petrol engines on this forum dating back many years. We have seen numerous cam belts fail where the 40k/4 years official service interval has not been adhered to and can categorically state that if yours lasts 80k you will have been very lucky. Most don't get much past the 40K interval. We have seen a not insignificant number that fail before even 40K.
Our experience is telling you that yours won't last 80k. A new belt and tensioner kit can be had for around £100 and it'll take an hour and a half to fit. Alternative is enough engine damage to write the car off. To paraphrase:
...you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

Hover over the number 2 on the little picture of the Omega.
http://yoc.whatcar.com/car-reviews/used/vauxhall/omega-saloon/full-review/23454-2
This site knows more than 90% of Vauxhall dealerships when it comes to the Omega. How do you think it's been running and helping out thousands of people for 7 years. If you'd rather believe a bunch of a couple of people in the Vauxhall dealership rather than the various people on this thread and it's also over the Internet in places as the above on link will show, then I'm sorry but there really isn't much point in you asking questions in the first place.
-
We are all in agreement as to the change interval,WHY?? because you are being told that this is the current policy in force at VX,your local dealer is WRONG,WRONG,WRONG!!! and like every one is saying you are courting disaster,but if you wont accept this advice then you obviously have issues with accepting what is THE TRUTH!! and yes I have three Omegas and have owned them for many years and yes the belts etc are changed at the recommended 4years/40.000 miles and this policy also extends to our 06 Astra. >:( ::)
-
Ok Kevin , I bow out, only experience and that's how it is for me.
Cheers
-
They are not, you just have another experience or view.
IF, big IF, you were to visit your dealer, tell him that you think he is wrong, and ask him, very nicely, to check his Tech Bulletins ... he will find that the interval was REDUCED from 8 years / 80,000 miles to 4 years / 40,000 miles .. due to the high number of failures......
but then of course .. you won't .. as you know best .. :)
-
I don't know best it is just my experience.
-
I don't know best it is just my experience.
-
no disrespect here Alan, but your getting some damn good advice here. if you dont want to listen then fair doo`s. you wont go far wrong with any advice on here, please dont make a meal out of it. OK ;)
-
I don't know best it is just my experience.
How is it an experience if it's what you've been told? Experience would be attempting to wait the 80,000 miles and it failing around 40,000 miles, which I, and I'm sure many other are confident (know) it would. 80,000 miles is the wrong interval completely, 40,000 is correct, and that's a fact. If the Vauxhall dealership had any sort of clue about the car, they'd know that as well. Ring Vauxhall UK.

Everyone,I should consider giving up on this one as it looks suspiciously like wind up :-\ >:(

he thought 80 000 too ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

It is not a wind up. I'll happily go my own way sorry if I've bothered you, shame though. Why is that current recommendations are incorrect, and I've never worked for any dealer in my life.
Sorry guys, I love the site and by the way my belt looked like new. I've not done any photo's but you don't really need them. I'm sorry If I wound you up.

They aren't ... the CURRENT RECOMMENDATIONS are : 4 years / 40,000 miles.
You are working from old/out-of-date/incorrect* *delete as applicable
information.
Just why, think before answering, would any of us spend the money changing the damned things at half its life ??? There is a very good reason why the interval was changed .... PREMATURE FAILURE ... of the bearings BTW .. not the belt .. so it might "look" good .. but.....
however .. as always ... your decision .. but why ask if you are gong to ignore the advice given ??? a tad pointless don't you think ?? :)
-
Ok guys, leave it with you

The tensioners usually let go first.
-
Just to reinforce what Andy (and everyone else) has said. I was in Underwoods Vauxhall Colchester parts dept. a couple of weeks ago and picked up a leaflet from the counter which gave official Vauxhall info on Cambelt/tensioner changes on all belt driven Vauxhall engines. It clearly states all petrol Omega engines interval is 40,000 miles or 4 years, whichever comes first.
I would return to your dealer and (as suggested) ask them to put it in writing,or recheck the (very wrong) info they have given you. ;)
-
Ok, sorry all, that's the information I had. I'm therefore beaton up and I'll leave you to it.
-
In other words,we appear to have wasted our time in trying to help you ::)
-
Not me actually
-
Not me actually
so it wasnt you that wanted the info?
why argue with good advice then. ???
-
Honestly, it wasn't me, just advising from experience, it's me that's been beaten up though
-
WTF??? >:( >:(
-
Honestly, it wasn't me, just advising from experience, it's me that's been beaten up though
No-one has been "beaten up" as you so (in)delicately put it ...
You gave out incorrect information .. that has been corrected .. if you can't take the heat ... EITHER give the right information at all times, or don't give any information at all ... because, rest assured, the experienced members of the forum will NOT let incorrect information be given .. especially when that could lead to a very expensive time

That pic Pete posted..... is that melted belt on the tensioner I presume. And as a side note when a cambelt and/or tensioners go and the pistons bend valves is it possible they could bend but be imperceptable to the eye or will they be clearly bent as in big cube's pic?
Finally... Allen, I think you could get on well here..... you sound like a nut job ;D

Stuff this!! I'm off to buy a boy racer styleee Corsa as this ones doing my head in >:( >:( >:(

That pic Pete posted..... is that melted belt on the tensioner I presume. .....
It'll be the plastic cage inside the bearing that holds the actual balls in place that's melted due to excessive heat due to lack of lubrication. :y

The irony is, with the exception of offers of help from AndyB, AndyC & HenryD (that's spooky), after four pages we still haven't answered the OP's question ;D, which was 'But Does Anybody On Here Do Cambelt Changes Near St.Austell Cornwall Please'. The poor OP is still waiting for an answer, but at least he's in no doubt as to what mileage to change it at. ;)

I've just re-read all this thread.
Allen25 was not the original poster but answered the OP with his 8/80k comment.
Which is wrong.
He (Allen25) then continued to defend his comment much to the chagrin of the experience and knowledge of VX dealer shedules on here.
Allen25 eventually realised that he better 'fess up that he was playing with the membership and had made an error in doing so.
Fair play for the admission. :y
Lets leave it there then and stop continuing with the spanking when he has already said 'enough'?
ta..... :) :y

Anyone with the knowledge and the kit able to help the OP??

Thank God for small mercies,just about to give up the will to live! :y
-
you know what they say ken...never argue with an idiot...as they will always beat you with experience but for the record pomfreys out in teynham claim it 4 years/40,000 for cambelt replacement it in great big 10 inch letter on a sign advertising the fact....some people just can't be helpped
-
I do have the kit and it is not near, but it is here in Worcestershire. Thanks for the saviour I don't know how it's exploded like this but I will definately take it up with Vauxhall. If I get a reply you will be informed. Phew!

ok, sorry if i offended. :y

Hello All Sorry To Ask Question First Day in Before Getting To Know Some Of You But Does Anybody On Here Do Cambelt Changes Near St.Austell Cornwall Please For Omega 2.6 V6 CD Model 2001 104k On Clock Last Done 83k Many Thanks Mike :y
Entertaining. Hope you get your help. :y
-
:-\ uum well five pages of when cam belt should be done and i allready know as i worked for wards vauxhall for nine years and find this quite funny thanks guys for the soaps it was good fun me and wife read every comment from start some heated at that lol.
well again the point being that yes it used to be untill the update to vauxhall manufacturing warrentys started flawing due to so many tensioner (not belts) failed before the stated dates of 80.000 but due to so many failed tensioners it was confirmed to ALL genuine vauxhall dealers that all advice for 16v and 24v engines and priorty to V6 engines must be serviced at 40.000 or 4yrs if car has been well maintained to vauxhalls advice in service intervals.
thankyou to the people that know on here i wont name any members but i can tell a lot of you have the knowledge and some dont and a limited few wish to make pointless defence with lack of knowledge in motor industry but when it came down to the point the addmin was right the question was not "when" as i know what the intervals are...and its a job that be done...however i whould do myself but i have kidney stones and prostate problems at moment and want somebody asap in or near cornwall to do the job for me i have the belt kit so just a skilled body that knows exactly what there doing as i can do it myself if was able in 45mins many thanks to you guys in the know but the whole topic went south and five pages later no help as such....mike
-
Hope you get someone experienced to do your cambelt & tensioners mate - cannot believe it took 5 pages to change the "experience" of an inexperienced newbie who wouldn't let go!! ??? ??? >:( FFS :(

::) ;D I love this forum to bits ;D ;D ;D :y

Max, we(Mrs G and I) are doing a charity walk accross the Seven bridge on Sunday for CF. If your ok with it, and theres enough mileage left on the srvice interval, meet me In the south car park and I'll do your cam belt there.
Forecast for the morning is horrific though. :'(. Which is absolutely bloody typical. ;D
Afternoon "should" be ok though.
If I do the work, and your happy, all I ask is a suitable contribution of your choice to the charity. How's that?
Failing that, AndyB's offer sounds too good to miss. :y

What people forget to realise is you all know the Cambelt Change is 4 years or 40,000 miles bevause you have either heard it on here or been told.
Now being fair I have heard it several times myself when people (none forum members) have insisted on the 80,000 miles interval, because they have been told this buy their regular garage etc... If you have being going to the same garage or a trusted mate who your convinced knows what he is talking about tells you "yes 80,000 mile intervals on that mate" then do you expect the guy to say any different?
There could be ten people on here giving info to a new member, four of which have given totally wrong answers to the OP's question. How does the OP know who's answer is right?
A friend of mine has known a " mechanic" for years and taken his car to him. The other week he told me that this "mechanic" had told him he needed this £15 bottle of stuff that will prevent his car from getting water leaks or head gasket problems. So he bought it from him and poured it into his perfect water system......
Hope that makes sense.. :)

Nah, if I had a heart I'd drive down there all the way. I'd love the journey, if the traffic behaves, In my omega through that part of the world.
...but unfortunately it's too late now, as the guy who usually lends me his locking Kit is not available now. :( we won't have time to pick up and still make the start time of the walk.
Over to AndyB. :)
I think with newer members that want to help, and I think he was genuinely trying to help, that there's an element of not wanting to look daft in front of everyone. So stick to guns instead of research the actual correct situation. As Daz says, Allan's mechanic might(for arguments sake) have been absolutely correct about a number of other things, but just hot this one wrong.
But two seconds on Google would reveal the answer i suspect. Although if the info came from a dealer, I think that gives a clue as to the quality level dealers have sunk too.
As a note to newer members this place, historically, is littered with poor advice from dealers. Service intervals on,
Oil changes
Auto box fluid
Cam belt intervals
Spark plug life
ALL PROVEN TO BE INCORRECT FROM VAUXHALL... so what chance do the back street guys have? they can't possibly know every piece of service info from every manufacturer ever to exist, just on the off chance that particular car rolls up at their door.
There is info in FAQ on oof recomended service interval v what vauxhall say. The difference is startling. Why? Story is, Vauxhall wanted to impress fleet managers with cheap and longer service intervals re other manufacturers, to improve sales.
Non of that BS is relevant to us. Any sensible owner will be keen to know that their car will last as long as possible, and oof is an ideal oppertunity to focus all that on one model. Something no other organisation is capable of to this level of honesty.

You can't go wrong with James, he's a top bloke, he did mine a few months back and it made a hell of a difference :y

Hi all,
I accept everything everyone has said. My Vauxhall service schedule sheets differ from all the advice from members (I accept everything you all say including that Vauxhall changed their position, I accept your combined experience). I've got away with my service interval on the timing belt change, so I'll make a point of changing the belt again in 40,000 miles. I absolutely love the car and the last thing I want to do is encourage anyone else to break theirs.

Alls well that ends well i say. seems all are happy now. :y

Hi Guys,
Sorry to drag this dusty one out, but I am really trying to contact MaxPolished and now see that he is a guest?
Does anyone have any contact details for him? If so, obvs. I wouldn't ask for them to be given to me, but would you be prepared to pass on mine?
Cheers
James
