Post by: omegadave66 on 09 July 2009, 17:25:20

anyone tried fitting a 2.5tdi auto into a facelift 03 omega which has at the moment a 2.6 v6 manual box. Is it possible, and are the wiring looms in place for the electrical connections etc.?

Same thoughts here ........ don't reckon it's worth all the inevitable hassle that's involved!

I already have the donor parts, but I was wondering if the loom was already in place or will I have to make one up for the bm 2.5 lump? I have already isolated the underbonnet loom for the engine which is in the donor vehicle. The 2.6 v6 which I have at the moment has developed oil pump problems and the big ends are rattling because of this.
