Just got the DIS pack off my 1996 Omega in order to replace it and upon looking at the part number it's the pack that ends in 017. I was under the impression this pack was used on later Omegas rather than the early ones. From the look of the torx screws holding it in i'd say someone has had it out before.
Also is there any way of testing the coil packs, I don't expect there is but it would put my mind at rest before I go and shell out on a new one.

apparantly you can measure the resitance across the coils but not sure of values bud !! marksdtm is the man to talk to !! ;)

You can measure across the secondaries of each of the individual coils (HT terminals for cylinders 1-4, 2-5 and 3-6 I believe) and they should be a few K ohms at a guess. More importantly, if one is different to the others it might point to a failure.
The primaries can be measured too. They'll be low. 1 or 2 ohms at a guess, assuming the pack doesn't have a built in electronic ignitor. Might be worth a look at the wiring diagrams for the pinouts. I had one on a different car where the primaries on one coil were double the resistance of the others. I guess the coil was double wound and one winding had failed. Coil would work, but with a misfire under load.
They can break down at high voltage with no signs of failure using the low voltage from a multimeter though.

Can you double check that part no? :-/
Ive got listed for a 2.5/3.0
90444184.........early models
90511450........interim models
90541062........later models

TD, you are talking about the Vx number... he is talking about the Bosch number... this post is in continuation to this one:
