Omega General Help / V6 oil level sensor
« on: 09 September 2025, 21:54:55 »
Is there a trick to getting the connector out of the sump? The Haynes says to remove the clip and "simply" push the connector through from the outside. I suspect that the thing's just gone a bit brittle after nearly thirty years and doesn't want to budge, but I thought I'd check first rather than go heavy on it.
The bit of the connector on the inside of the sump is all one piece, right? Before I go trying to undo it or anything ...

Oh, that's nicely done
Any particular paint to get such a nice finish on the intake plenum?

Omega General Help / Re: Plugging SAI manifold holes
« on: 10 August 2025, 11:15:39 »
A little late to the party having been away, but when I chopped out the SAI on my 3.0 I made up a few little blanking plates from some 4mm offcut, and just reused the original bolts with a smear of exhaust paste on the back. Perfectly functional. Replace the socket for the SAI valve with a 100 ohm resistor, as the ECU just wants to see some resistance on the line so it won't complain with a fault code.
For the EGR delete, I blanked off the each end and wired up a little cheater circuit. Unlike for the SAI delete, the ECU wants to see signals back within a happy range, so this just provides it with constant happiness https://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=149550.30#msg2008893

If it needs a new gasket, it's a 2x37mm. You're welcome to one - I can probably find the little packet of them in the garage, if necessary.

That's a cracking result
Failing to visualise the arrangement of the oil cooler in my head whilst sat in the office - would that simply be a male M18 x 1.5 at each end of the flexi?

1st Choice Car Spares in Accrington, as mentioned by @cam.in.head. Decent old-fashioned kinda place, but let down by the fella's total reluctance to make the stacked 2.6 Elite pickable and get some cash from it, versus wanting to sell me a different "good" engine, that had been extracted in the usual clinically sympathetic manner 
Well, at least it was a nice sunny afternoon ...

Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / WANTED : V6 non-runner/scrap engine
« on: 15 September 2024, 21:40:24 »
Evening folks,
I'm after a non-running V6 of any flavour to use for some mocking up on a project, so as to avoid taking apart my perfectly happy X30XE. Ideally still with ancillaries, even if they're questionable too, as it's the overall shape & positioning I want it for, rather than having aspirations of somehow rebuilding it. But hey, beggars/choosers, and all that...
If you've something sitting unloved in the corner of your shed (somewhere in the UK) and want the space back, let me know.
Cheers, Stu

The good Doctor is, of course, quicker and more correcter However, as I'd taken a pic out in the garage anyway, here it is for anyone who happens upon this in a Search some time down the line, with the two oxygen sensors being the only other thing on that stub of the V6 loom...
