Hi

Hi, Just a quick hello and a cheeky brain pick!

I have just brought a 1994 (m reg) omega estate ellite 3lt v6 thingy Shocked

Couple of questions can you tell me when the timing belt would be due, its done 140k at the moment. Secondly has anyone had problems with the rear suspension, as a ride I found it to wallow a little, this could be down to me being used to hachbacks and there now being a full 147ft extra of car Grin or is there a know issues? Sorry back to the cab belt issue, Im reading there is a pully holding kit, is this a must or can it be done the old fashion way of a touch of paint markings? Third and last thing.... for now, my air con is not working, is there any faults known, or will it be a lack of gas.

Thanks for your time.
Pogo

Welcome to the forum Thumbs Up!

Cambelt 40K or every 4 years, whichever is sooner.

The other questions, you will get a better response if you post them under 'General Help'.

Hi,

Thanks for such a quick responce, thats a very short life for a cambelt. Im guessing its safe to say change it anyway and dont risk it.

Thanks again.

Howdoo, and welcome to OOF.  When you get a chance, get a few minutes to update your profile with location etc as it makes any questions you may have easier to answer and, as a bonus, there may be a cleverer member close by that could assist!   Thumbs Up!
