Helo everyone :), I just got myself a 1999 Omega V6 2.5l CD and love it, its my second Omega and I am well and trully hooked. I bought the car with a missfire and after changing the leads plugs and rocker cover gasket it is still there. I have sourced a 3 litre V6 dis pack and wondered if it will be suitable. After reading the forums I am aware there are 3 different DIS packs but if this one is the same manufacturer as the one that is on the car will it be ok even tho its from a 3 litre V6?
-
Not sure I know the answer to this one though there are many experts here who will be able to help, just to say welcome and keep watching this space..

OK, I have looked into this, and according to the Vauxhall Trade Club catalogue, there are three type of DIS packs for the V6:
2.5/3.0 Early models P/N 90444184
2.5/3.0 Interim models P/N 90511450
2.5/3.0 Later models P/N 90541062
As far as I am aware the differences are in the mounting brackets and connectors shape, but they are the SAME for 2.5/3.0, so if the 3.0 DIS pack that you have seems to be of the same size and shape as the one on your 2.5 then it should be OK.
Keep in mind through that misfires throw raw petrol at the cats which will damage them so don’t drive around with the misfire – try to get it sorted ASAP before continuing to use the car.

Also, if you do need a new DIS pack, they are expensive from Vx, and best bought on eBay for around £80 of from breakers (a new one will be a safer bet though).
This one is the Later model, if this is the one you need then you can look it up on eBay under the Vx P/N 90541062 or the Bosch P/N 0221 503 017:

Thanks for the welcome and the quick replys :) I have arranged for a mechanic friend to replace it later this week and have actually bought 2 from ebay both being different to make sure I have a chance of having the correct one but knowing my luck I will have the 3rd different type one :(. I will just put the one I dont use back on ebay. He quoted me 30 quid which seems really cheap considering that from what I read it is a pig of a job to fit >:(. I bought both DIS packs used but paid 32 quid for one and 45 quid including shipping for the second both including shipping so seems pretty cheap to me as long as they work which the sellers say they both do :), fingers crossed :P

About the missfire I am suffering from, I have also read it may be a vaccum leak/air leak that can cause it. I have noticed that the heating wont direct to the floor well when turning the dial in fact it wont change from the windscreen, is this likely to be a leaking or disconnected vaccum hose and could it cause the missfire?.

I am not sure this could be causing your misfire but its got to be worth checking
There is a maintenance guide on the Vacuum pipe system for the V6

No new Omega there, and I think we've stripped the others ;)
What MID? ::)

MID who said anything about a MID? ;D
There are a few bits left there, but not much now :( - Couple of 4 pots with some engine bits, facelifted one with some interior pannels which could be saved. Although that may have all gone.
I do miss going around there, its like a sweet shop really. You see so much you want to play with and eat... well ermm not eat... you know what i mean!
And quite often you walk out with things in your pocket, how careless! ::)

I was in there a few weeks ago looking for bits of door for the Rover (long story), no 25s, and the Omegas looked very sorry for themselves....

I learnt so much about my car in that holiday, mother was very impressed to!
I remember going down to a V6 there after I accidently sheared off one of the oil cooler bolts on your first project car. I was so impressed with myself that i went down there and stripped an engine right down to the oil cooler on my own for the first time! Felt dead chuffed as a walked away from that car!
Although remember i slashed my arm open on your car when we were working on the DIS? Bit long scratch!!? Its still healing!!! Looks like a have a scar! :o - Gunna tell the ladies it was when i had a fight with a guy with a knife and i put my arm up to protect my girlfriend... heheheh

Satisfying, isn't it. It was amazing to see your confidence with the car go from zero to experienced in space of few weeks. I was impressed...

Has your mum forgiven me yet?

I manged to keep it hidden for a while, but then she noticed. She was a bit shocked! - She also commented on how i began driving faster after we starting fixing up cars ;D
Cheers for that, i had trouble taking a wheel of to begin with... still do actually ;D - Although i don't like doing jobs underneath the car, handbrake cable for one + the weather was nasty. Taught me a lesson, should have done it in the summer! - I'll prob re-do it myself after uni.
