2.2 Timing Belt change
« on: 15 October 2009, 06:08:49 »
Hi, just (yesterday) took delivery of my 02 2.2 auto Omega. It is off the road at present as I'm gonna do a full sevice and renew the timing belt/rollers/water pump etc.

There doesn't seem to be a Haines manual for this engine but one for the earlier 2.0

2 questions: will the 2.0 information in the Haines book do for the 2.2? and better still is there a 'how to' do this job on this forum? Forgive me if I've missed it.

I'm a competent home mechanic but need to know if I need any special tools etc before I start.

Thanks for any help.

2.2 is a stroked 2.0, so 2.0 manual covers it.

Need a £5 locking wedge.  Change waterpump at same time, and ensure its a full cambelt kit rathr than belt only

additionally, there is a 4 cyl cambelt dvd in the OOF shop. Its not great (the v6 one is excellent), but for sake of £3, might prove useful

I wouldn't bother with the 2.0 DVD, it was late, rushed, and not close up enough.

It was more of a case of just filming me fit one, rather than a how-to....

Actually, I didn't realise the shop was selling it, I think it should be withdrawn

Thanks for all your info guys.

I'll probs invest in a Haynes manual, even though its for the pre-facelift.

Do any of you recommend Autovaux for you parts? They seem reasonable. Do the parts seem to be good quality? Do you think I may be able to get the lock tool from them?

Any recommendations appreciated as I'm not used to Vauxhalls.

I would no longer recommend autovaux - they have a habit of telling you its a genuine part (or a part made by a GM supplier), but its not the same quality as a genuine part.
