Usual cambelt arguement
« on: 09 December 2006, 19:06:30 »
Just found this on an ebay ad

On 07-Dec-06 at 14:07:39 GMT, seller added the following information:

TO CONTINUE THE SAGA

Having checked with Network Q and Vauxhall technical data service in Luton:- Omegas upto and including 2002 models are listed in the manafacturers service schedule as best practice 4 years or 40,000 miles.Checking against my reg they confirmed that this one is a 2003 model which lists the service schedule best practice for the belt and pre-tensioners as 8 years or 80,000 miles.

Feel free to ring network Q yourself the warranty number is QGU3M 107381.  Telephone 0870 7527010.






Any thoughts?

I really would like opinions on this as I can see myself ending up with a newer omega sometime soon, and it could make the dfference between 2002/03

Whatever Vaux say I don't think I'd wanna risk a top end rebuild for the cost of a cambelt kit and a few hours work.

You're right, of course. But I just dont like engines being taken to bits, and possibly being put back together wrong, if there's really no need for it.

Different cambelt and tensioners in 2003 models? I don't think so!

If so you could buy them for pre 2003 facelift models.

LONG message sent to seller (with subtle plug for us!)

I would not want to see that beauty screwed up! Very very nice example.

I think the answer would be to find out if the 03 MY engine uses a different cambelt kit. If not its the same tensioner that can fail after 40k on the previous years engine.
