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

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.

hotel21 Administrator Offline Posts: 12766 Doghouse Gender: Drives: into lamposts	Re: Hello all! Reply #19 - 06. Feb 2008 at 00:10 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....
