Please has anyone got a working 3.2V6 dual ram intake solenoid valve 90466214? it is not desperate in that the car still runs, but I'd like it to run better :) And it will be easier to fit now, whilst the car is all in bits. Thanks.

I'll check, but think all my Omega spares went to chrisgixer.  I'll take a peek at lunchtime....

Thanks for looking, I had everything from 3.2 that I broke, but that part must have either been knackered or mistakenly binned in a recent move... ::)
They seem to be listed as the same part as fitted to various Saabs etc. and ebay has some from Lithuania and Germany...but I was hoping to get something here more quickly than that will take.

They get brittle with age, so a new one is the way forward...

Yes I thought that, and found that SAABits.com in Devon can get them from Sweden in a couple of weeks for £26.78 incl postage, which I know is more than most people spend on an Omega in a year...but I thought I'd splash out!  Apparently there are now 492 left in stock over there amongst the pine trees so I hope no one is tempted by the "last one left" ebay listing from Germany for £45 like I nearly was!

Any new one you buy is still going to be several years old. It won't have been subjected to underbonnet temperatures etc, so it's probably going to be a better bet than a used one.


One supplier of NOS brake parts for classic cars I've used said when I placed the order: The master cylinder is genuine in the box Girling. But it's forty years old, so we strongly recommend you use the new seal kit that we supply with it
