Have I missed something here? I know the many of the contributors on here have V6's. But they are also very helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to the 4 pot also.
So my question really should be is the belt change on a 4 pot that easy that it doesnt warrant a how2 or is it just that nobody has ever got round to doing one?
I saw the post regarding the DVD but they appear to be in short supply.
The parts arrived today for me to change my cambelt and a mechanic friend is coming ot help me this weekend, but he hasn't changed one on an Omega either and so any help going would be useful.
This post has probably crossed boards now so apologies to admin if that is the case. ::)

If the 2.2 is an old one, then I assume it will be the same as the 2.0L engine...
If its a new 2.2 engine, then it doesn't have a belt, its uses a chain that doesn't need chainging - however there was a problem with blocked oil jets that was causing them to snap! :o

Incorrect im afraid........all the 2.2's have a belt which does need changing at 40k..

All Omega 2.2 engines are belt driven, none have chains.

The 2.2 is a longer stroke version of the 2.0 with a different management setup.
Really easy job to do.

All 2.2's fitted to Omega's are belt, Vectra/VX220/Signum 2.2's are chain iic :-/

I have yes but not had a reply. I think there have been a few "non technical" problems.

Yes, just take your time, and don't forget to change the water pump at the same time.

I've got the Contitech kit and a QH pump just need to pick up some anti freeze. I take it the torque settings for the 2.0 are the same?
