So I need to do fatherT's cambelt, just wondering who everyone is using these days? After the kit for a 2.2, along with waterpump :)
Buypartsbuy? :-\
-
Never bothered looking...
-
Went GM last time, but the waterpump did not last long if you remember....
-
cheapest safe option will be buypartsby belt kit and dealer pump
For a 2.2 I'd probably just swallow the cost and go to a dealer :y

Was thinking that, just with my 2.2, the waterpump started making horrible noises after about 10k, think it was just a faulty :(

Contitech & gates kits can be found on ebay. Iirc I paid just under £100 for my last one,although that was a couple of years ago.

I hope a 2.2 cambelt kit would be way less than £100... ...esp as my last V6 one was less than £70 delivered (Contiech) ::)

I saw mention of father T,s car (skipped the rest of the post ;D) and vaguely remembered it being 3.0, so assumed V6. ::) ;D

No, it's his mum's that the 3.0. His dad has a 2.2. Tunnie himself has a 2.2 and a 3.2. Thats a shitload of Omegas :y

Add into that a Nissan and a BMW GS, it makes for one full driveway!
Its like a brainteaser sometimes, what needs to be moved to get one on the road ;D

Your Mum has a 3.0 and your Dad a 2.2? We know who's in charge there ;) ;) :y.

Dad got 2.2 as a company car brand spankers, annoying at the time the new emission based tax for company cars came in. Made the V6 vastly more expensive at the time :(
Once we knew loads more about Omegas, we knew the spec and engine to get, as we got the Estate long time after we got 2.2 :)

£169.00 from Andy Clears did one last month with RobG. :y :y

I got mine from buypartsby in March.
The tensioner was the wrong one (no problem - used the original back plate with new tensioner) and the water pump developed a nasty squeek almost immediately.
It's still bloody squeeking when cold now!
