Omega General Help / Re: 2.2 Cam Chain

« on: 28 October 2010, 21:52:17 »

Great thanks for the replies. I thought the 2.2 petrol was a chain!

Always found looking for cars such a ball ache. When I was looking for a Vectra a few years ago, all I heard was "Oh yeah it had a belt at 80k". Wrong interval and it didn't have the rollers/tensioners changed 

Cheers!

Omega General Help / 2.2 Cam Chain

« on: 28 October 2010, 13:20:36 »

Hi all,

My first post here, so hello!

I'm going to look at a 2002 Omega 2.2 this weekend. I used to have a Vectra and I'm not actually looking for an Omega, they appear to be pretty good value for money. Anyway, when I had the Vec, I heard of the Cam Chain snapping on the 2.2 because of a problem with oil not lubricating the chain. Anyone know any more info about this and if this is something I can look out for?

Also, anyone want to give me some tips so I don't buy a complete dog?

Cheers!
Dave
