Omega Gallery / My black 2.6 CDX
« on: 10 April 2016, 16:02:52 »
Hi, I thought I'd start a proper topic for my car at some point.
It's a 2001 X 2.6 CDX (I think, going by the thread describing the trim levels, can't tell due to it being debadged) with a rather fruity exhaust fitted by the previous owner, plus some Elite alloys too.
I have a couple of questions to ask the people of this forum though,
- Automatic gearbox software. I saw mention of updating it in a thread, is there anybody in NE Scotland who can do it?
- It seems to have a little bit of camber on the rear wheels. I've been led to believe this is to do with some bushes in the rear suspension, any more pointers on this? Fairly confident doing some DIY on it, I used to own a 1999 Audi A4 Quattro and did a lot of suspension work on that sod myself!
- I've heard these engines like to sludge up their oil sometimes, so it's wise to take the sump off and have a look. Is it a nasty job on this or straightforward enough?
I intend to drive it to Buckinghamshire (500 miles each way) in late June, so want to get it properly fettled beforehand! Admittedly, I bought it in Northampton and drove it up here having done nothing to it, so meh!
