No I believe it's split down the side of the cat itself.

Omega General Help / catalytic converter required
« on: 29 January 2015, 04:56:34 »
Hi all, I have recently aquired a 2.2 CD Omega on a 51 plate and it is in need of a catalytic converter, does anyone know where I can get one please? At the moment I would be happy with 2nd hand.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Thanks for the advice, haven't had a proper look under it yet but at first glance it looks to have split along the side of the cat itself.

Hi, bit of a re - introduction tbh. I signed up a while ago and introduced myself but not been on here much. Didn't have an Omega then but unfortunately due to my Dad having his licence revoked due to ill health he has given me his Omega. It's a 51 plate 2.2 CD auto in dark green. Needs some jobs done first though, main one being a catalytic converter, also a damn good clean.
Anyhoo, hope to spend more time on here asking questions and just generally looking around.
If anyone can help re the cat I'd be very grateful but otherwise I'll speak to you all soon.

Thank you chaps. Wish I hadn't joined up now cos there's far too many nice Omegas out there.

Ok although I'm not an Omega owner I do very much like these cars and would love a 3.0/3.2 Elite but, alas, my finances won't stretch to ownership of one at this present time sadly. That said I'm swear it'll not cost as much as my Vectra 2.2 CDX estate which is suffering running problems at the moment, poxy thing.
Anyway, may father has an Omega, he has a 51 plate, 2.2 cd but due to failing health issues he doesn't drive that much so I get to play with it occasionally, although at present it needs a cat as the current one is blowing badly. Any help on supplies there would be greatly appreciated.
Anyhoo, I'm off to look round the site a bit more so will speak to you guys later.
Just my poor attempt at humour, please don't think bad of me.

« on: 23 February 2014, 09:59:33 »Never had a 2.2 but believe they're still very capable cars.Welcome to the forum.Are you sure it's the cat that's blowing as I believe they have a flexi pipe[just before the cat?]which as I understand it has a habit of letting go,but a new bit can be obtained and welded in.
Hi, I was pretty sure until I read this but now I'm doubting myself, lol. I'll have to double check but I seem to remember looking at it and seeing the cat actually split but I'll check first. Could save a few pennies. Thank you.

Thank you I'll post a picture up when I get one. I'm hoping that once he's given up driving I'll get the opportunity to have it off him. I know it's not the engine or spec I would prefer but gotta start somewhere eh!
