Phoned VX about Steering Box Part Numbers to see if they were the same through the range which they are apart from the elite with has variable effort.
So for a normal one for mine no Variable effort Vx wanted wait for it 644 + VAT so thats about £756 I think and no thats not including getting it installed
Oh and they want your old one also and you dont get any money back for it
I actually Laughed at the guy and said i go to the scrapper for one but thanks for telling me they are the same through the range and the guy said no problems they are alittle expensive

they are a little expensive
Understatement of the year there I think!
I thought that the variable effort (or speed sensitive) steering was fitted to all V6 models and the 2.5TD models.
Sorry to hear of your woes with the steering by the way.
-
Hummm can anyone Verify that all V6's have a variable effort steering box as you just cant take it as 100% when someone in Vauxhall tells you something.
The Guy at Vauxhall said only the Elites havew the Variable Effort Boxes and all the other Omegas steering boxes have the same part number thats prefacelifts facelifts saloon and estates
Does anyone have a TC Book to check the Part Numbers ?

This Just gets stranger and stranger Phoned another VX shop in Harrow this time a new story
ALL OMEGAs are Variable Effort All Steering Boxes are the same on all models depending on Chassis numbers
And The Price has changed to
£1087 +vat which Makes [size=28]£1274[/size] yep you read it right lol they just make these prices up
Did get a part number of 24460153
-
Its crazy how they think people will fork out that much for a part..... for that money you could buy another omega or 2, get the bits you need from it/em then break the rest and make some money back.
-
The 6 cylinder models have the electronically adjustable steering, 4 pots don't. It is not model specific, but engine specific.
-
Not That I dont Beleive you TB but i have taken a photo of the steering box plate it should have the Part number on it i think its 9227772 but cant be sure
Can anyone with a V6 and 4 pot tell me what it says on their steering Box Plate PLEASE :)
I know one thing it does not have the number the guy at VX gave me as a part number
the numbers are
8073 955 112
9 227 772
06624 0600

The letters are nothing to do with reg, its the letter 7 digits from the end of VIN.

That makes mine a 2003 model, then. First registered 30/10/02 so I guess the model years came out before the real year end?
If they're numbered sequentially mine's only no. 246 out of that year...

Yes, the model year tends to start just over halfway through previous year

Or was the exercise just for the fun of it!!
-

James Thinks It might be the Steering Box I have has a knock in the steering and bad vibration when driving at any speed and I cant find where its coming from everything changed that it could of been kind of leave the steering Column and steering box i guess, i am going to have a good old hunt again but I am just getting all the info i need if it is the Box that needs changing

Hi there,
Have you tried to adjust the grub screw on the steering box, as you might be pulling it out anyway, adjusted mine to get rid of play in the steering wheel, I don’t know if this will stop any clanking though. If you do adjust it make sure that the engine is not running and the wheels are pointing forward, turn the screw an eighth of a turn at a time.
Good Luck.
Lyn
