Can anyone help please, I have recently bought a 2.2 omega but it does not have a service book with it, I have been told that it has had the cam belt changed but I would like to know what to look for, also the service intervals for this vehicle how often are they.
First saloon I have had for many years seems great after years of 4x4's, fuel economy is great.

Many thanks

Cambelts need to be done every 40k miles,service intervals i think are every 20k but should be done evry year if you're not doing 20k per year.

Cambelt is 40k/4yr (no matter what garage/book says). Important.

Stated service interval is 20k, but thats a ludicrous thing to keep fleet managers happy.  Best thing you can do is give it fresh oil every 4k or so, and air/fuel filters every 2 yrs. Coolant every 2 years.

Thanks for that, just come up to 70k, the belt looks fine but I think i will get the oil and filters changed, getting 30mpg overall so happy with that.

It's not usually the belt that lets go, it's the tensioner. Look around this section, there is another thread on this subject.

Or the water pump on a 2.2, as it's driven by the cam belt.

Auto addict, looks like you pull a tin tent with your omega, how do you find it, it will be our first trip towing with ours over the new year period.

Doesn't pull too bad, quickly drops down the auto box on hills though.

Thanks for that ,I will let you know how it goes when I get back, not many hills where i live and we go Norfolk way most of the time these days, the days of long hauls to S France are gone.
