They are good engines, just let down by dodgy fuel pump electronics.

You must be thinking of the 1.7

Not on the 2.2Dti.

It can suffer pump internal seals and diagphram issues but most of these can be avoided if the fuel filter is changed regularly nad the water drained from it.

Is it not the same 2.2 diesel eco-tec lump (y22dth) as found in Vectra b's and c's?
They have an electronic control board mounted to the side of the pump, which itself is bolted to the block. The electronics suffer due to heat and vibration. It is a known issue on 2.0 and 2.2 diesel Vectra's...

Never causes any issues on the Omega.

In fact, past experience sudgests its only a significant issue on the 1.7's and is very often WRONGLY diagnosed as the cause on the 2.0 and 2.2 as a result.

I have seen loads sent for testing with NFF

The older 1.7 Isuzu lump is a good engine, the 1.7 G.M. unit, out around the same time, is not so good...

...same as most Vauxhall engines..

it only had a gearbox and clutch fitted at 270,000, so its done fantastic to get that far without them!!

[waspy]

It shows testament to that engine
Mine's only done 91,000, i've only done 11,000 in three years of ownership. I wonder how many years it'll take me to get to 347,000

Seen quite a few DTi Omegas with well over 250K on them, one went on Ebay with 478K recently.

This must be near me - tempting to go and have a look, wonder if I can find the address on Auto Trader...
