Newbie Welcome Area / Greetings from a new Omega owner
« on: 11 April 2011, 11:53:28 »
Yo, Erd here. I am the new owner of a 2002 (52) 2.6 V6 auto CDX. Not what I would usually go for, but it was well looked after by it's now deceased previous owner - low mileage and pretty tidy. Plus I couldn't resist rear drive and the V6.
I've got no evidence the cambelt has ever been replaced so that is the first priority, oh, and no locking wheel nut key...
Regards,
Erd.

General Car Chat / V6 Timing belt - a job well done
« on: 18 April 2011, 22:18:19 »
A big thanks to Elite Pete who replaced the timing belt kit, waterpump and aux belt on my 2002 V6 Omega yesterday.
I'm very pleased with the work and the Omega advice.
The Mk1 escort was a bonus too.
What else can I say - awesome.

General Car Chat / Re: K&N Air Filters & fuel consumption?
« on: 11 April 2011, 17:39:27 »
Hi, symtoms of a knackered MAF sensor is similar to a misfire. If you unplug the connector on a faulty MAF sensor the engine will run better - at least that's how I diagnosed it on my VR6 mk3 golf.
Personally, I like the K&N filter, the standard air filters are no good if you get them wet - serves me right for driving through fords. I've had fewer MAF failures with a K&N vs paper element. New K&N's are factory oiled, so you only oil it at the service interval.
Not tried a K&N in an Omega yet.
Almost failed to mention - I used a direct replacement panel filter rather than the "performance" type
