V6 crankcase breather cleaning
« on: 05 January 2014, 08:09:22 »

Was hoping to do this using the Maintenance guide. However, ordered the necessary seals from Vauxhallworldparts.com and got a phonecall saying that part 90500983 o ring has gone up from about £1 to over £30 due to Vauxhall changing the part number! Anyone know where I can get the £1 seals. Not sure if I need 2 or 4. Mines a 3.2 2002. Alternatively can I carry out the overhaul and reuse the old seals?

Order them from any VX Dealer ,mate.

As said they are not always required as they are the 0 ring seals for the throttle body and extended section of the plastic breather chamber on a 3.2.

Seem to recall last time I bought from VX they were around £0=80 each..you will require 4 if you intend replacing them but a smear of vaseline or similar on the originals assuming they are not split,or damged by removal,will liven them up
