Vectra V6 Bosch plug leads - do they fit Omega V6?
« on: 23 August 2006, 22:26:39 »
The connectors will be the same, since both the plugs and DIS are the same on both cars. But I'm betting the leads are too short for the Omega. I know Magnecor list the same part for both Vectra and Omega V6, but most likely their leads are a little too long for the Vectra but still work fine. Bosch don't list anything for the Omega V6.

I want to replace my leads but I'm not paying £100+ for them, and the cheaper ones common on eBay are a bit of an unknown economy, not sure if they'll last. Bosch are good quality, but obviously no good if they don't fit!

Anyone know for sure?

Don't think autovaux are much cheaper unfortunately.

Bosch Vectra 2.5 V6 (1995-2000) part number is B 162.

Magnecor part number is 6049 (8mm leads) for both Vectra V6 and Omega 2.5/3.0 V6

Funny, that...

You can download the English version of the Bosch catalogue from:

http://aa.bosch.de/aa/en/kfz-teile/produktfinder/media/Zuendleitungen_en.pdf

And indeed, Vauxhall Omega B is only showing as 2.0i. But if look under Opel Omega B, you will see this:





So it's B 143 then - hope this helps....

(and just in case anyone was wondering why the 2.6/3.2 are not listed, this is because these engines have individual coil packs and hence no HT leads)

I bought some aftermarket ones from my local motor factor for £27 - they worked ok - some aftermarket ones are very soft and are hard to push onto the plugs - but i thought these were the nearest to VM ones. the only problem is they are not marked up with cylinder No's - so best to do this first as they are all indevidual leads.

Pretty sure he only does the magnecors, which are megabucks even at the discounted rate.

What the heck... I bought the Vectra leads, were going cheap so worth a look. If they don't fit I'll just flog 'em on, they're brand new of course so will be easy enough to sell.

Before I strip half the engine as is necessary to change leads on these ::) can anyone measure a set of OEM Omega leads to find out how long each one is between the plug end and the DIS end. I expect some of you guys have old sets lying around.

If it works out these do fit, it'll be a cheaper option for a set of leads that are at least as good as rip-off VX parts IMO.

Cheers.

Here we go, I've made the measurements if anyone wants to compare.





Measurement A for all leads is 40mm, measurement B for all leads is 30mm. The visible cable lengths (measurement B) are as follows:

1. 740mm
2. 645mm
3. 560mm
4. 455mm
5. 340mm
6. 340mm

If anyone could compare these with Omega V6 parts that would be ace.
