Post by Luke on 04. Feb 2008 at 23:44

Hi, I have recently purchased A 1996 2.5 v6 omega and since viewing this website I am to worried to drive it as its mileage is 135000 miles and I have no proof of A cam belt change. Definately at the top of the to-do list! Congratulations on A great site. :y

P.s. How do I get A cambelt dvd?

welcome luke

dont worry about the 135,000 miles if it's been maintained properly, its likely to be able to do the same amount again before it dies!

I would also be very carefull and try not to drive it untill the cam belt kit has been changed, 40,000 / 4 years. the problem is the tensioners are the part that fails but you cannot change the belt witout the rollers and viccy verser It is about £80 from vx on trade club card for the kit , please use gen vx parts as if it fails you are covered under parts warrenty.

Howdoo and welcome to OOF. Best place for Omega info on the web.

As said, 40k miles or 4 years for belt and tensioers. If it goes pop, it will cost...

Check assorted threads for info as to where and how to ensure costs are kept to a minimum.

Pull up a keyboard and feel free to join in the gags and banter in genchat and elsewhere.... :y
