03 Omega 3.2 Elite
« on: 14 February 2010, 19:24:02 »
Can anyone tell me what the part number is for a new thermostat for my car PLEASE. I am going to go to Southern Vauxhall in the morning and get a new one and get a local back street mechanic to fit it for me.
Surely the timing belt will be ok till I return from France?

For the stat there are two types, one with thick flange, one with thin, believe either will do, if its thick make sure it comes with bolts as yours will most likey have thin one.

Make sure you get the 2 o-rings for the coolant transfer pipe as well.

Timing belt? Sorry but my mind reading protocol is offline today, when was it last changed?

Stat is a long job, budget for at least 5 hours at mechanics rates

Your best bet is to contact JamesV6 ... he's far better than any "back street" merchant .. if he can fit you in around his other work ..

What written assurance can you trust in the paperwork that you received with the car to say that its been changed as per?  Even then, things do go wrong sometimes....

We had proof on the 3.0 we bought, came from a very nice couple who owned it for 5 years. But still, did not trust it. For the sake of £150, its worth making sure.

I am prepared to pay for the belt and water pump to be done but I know no-one who can do the job. I have asked Loo Knee and James V6 and they are too busy till the weekend or middle of next week.
I am NOT trying to save a few quid by not getting it done.
I have paperwork that says it was done in august last, but I do not believe it.

In that case, do it again.  Question then is, who/where/when.....?

Diane,

Change the tone, you are starting to come over as patronising
