Omega General Help / 3.0 Cam Covers, how tight?

« on: 18 April 2008, 12:05:21 »

Should be replacing the cam cover gaskets this evening (if Vauxhall ever get my parts in).

Does anyone know what the torque settings (in NM) are for the gaskets?



Cheers folks

Omega General Help / Re: Ex-Police, LSD?

« on: 04 April 2008, 19:49:38 »

Oh, I know how to tell if they're LSD or not.
But it means jacking the back of the car up and turning a wheel. If both wheels turn the same direction then its an LSD.

But I take it there's no real easy way of doing it?

Anyone know if all the ex-police Omega's have an LSD?
Even the one's with traction control?



Thanks,

Just though I'd say hello.

Didn't know this place existed until I saw it in Total Vauxhall

Basically, I'm on the lookout for an MV6 and want to know a bit more info on them before going to see one. Thought this site would be the place to ask.
How much? What breaks? Rusts? etc.
Also, another thing that has been bothering me, do all MV6's come with an LSD?


Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Declan

Noticed a couple of these ecu chips for sale on ebay.

Just wanting to know if there's any truth in what they claim to be a 20+BHP increase in power.

Anyone ever bought one before?

Here's the links:

i have one fitted to my mv6 and it only cost £24 pounds and it definately makes a real difference at about 4-4.5 k when the second dual ram thingy opens mine really takes off and i have tried changed back to stock and noticed a fairly big  drop in power and it makes the car easier on fuel aswell which is no bad thing with the price of it these days, mine was from germany but not one of these sellers but i would expect that they are all the same, the one i bought was £45 or best offer and i offered £22+"2 postage and was delivered 3-4 days later no problems , anyway at that sort of money its worth the risk in my opinion

I'll maybe give it a go then.
Could you tell me the name of the seller you got it from?

Oh, and where abouts in N. Ireland you from? Im from Portstewart
