Is one-touch still working from within the car? If not, reset all windows in the usual way.

If it is, its liable that your keyfob battery or buttons aren't sustaining a good connection for the 3s for the process to start.

Do they open if you hold the unlock for 3s?

Last thing to try, using the mechanical key in the drivers door lock, if you hold it in the locked position for 3s, do they start to close then?

Nothing works, either in car one touch or using key in lock, windows don't move.

EDIT: Just reset each window by holding the button for respective window up for a few seconds you hear a click from the door, done this with ignition on.
 

Seems ok now.

Thanks

02 2.6 Omega (What else!)

Nothing major, just wondering why when I press the lock button in and hold that the windows don't go up as they used to do, even my old cavy does this, with the key held in lock though.

Only change to locks/key is a new key fob plastic bit, and the battery holder repaired by that guy on here.

Cheers

As for changing the belt itself, it seemed no matter what I did, if I got the 3-4 cams bang on and rotated the crank through 720°, it then threw the 1-2 cams out. Line 1-2 up and it then threw 3-4 out. I played cat & mouse with the damn things all afternoon going back & forth, but just couldn't get them happy. It was only a smidge advanced, but in the real world a smidge is actually a couple of degrees and I just couldn't get it to go back. The belt was straight, but I'd obviously missed something.


So I left it till the next morning, stripped the belt off and went back to square one. Nick and LC's clear instructions heeded, and it only took a couple of tweaks of the rollers to have everything lined up.  :y  Just to be sure, I then took the crank through a further 10 revolutions and this is how they lined up (which I was rather glad of, as I knew I'd have to report back here either way) ...




Whn I done the belt on my y26 first time I'd ever done a multicam belt, used to cavaliers and single belt mainly from my days in the trade, I followed the video (CD) on here and it seemed to work really well first time. 2nd time I done it, I was like this back and forth and couldn't get it right. I don't know how many times I started again, belt off again, but I eventually figured out the crank lock wasn't sitting right on the water pump, and every time I adjusted one bit, another bit went out. Glad I persevered as I got it bang on once fixed crank lock.

Could've easily said "That'll do it" and buttoned it up, but it's a really worthwhile learning curve to get it exactly right and follow instructions to a T.

Omega General Help / Re: Lambda 1&2 Spare Numbers for V6 Y26SE
« on: 15 July 2022, 07:22:01 »
I have several of each of these lambda sensors, some boxed GM and some Bosch.
 - 9195606 (Opel 855362), Bosch 0258006176 but also 0258006020 - 632mm in length with ident tag AH
I have three GM boxed of these - two have the 1st Bosch no. on the box, the third has the 2nd Bosch no on the box.

- 9199469 (Opel 855385), Bosch 0258006346 - 750mm in length with ident tag BG.

9195606 is the easier to find sensor, but 9199469's are available under the Bosch part no if you dig around. Be mindful that many sites list the 9199469 using the AH generic photo, so I would ask the seller to confirm the tag ident code and the Bosch no. on the body before buying.
Personally, I would check what is on your car at present, and make your choice using the Bosch no. etched into the body and the identifying tag, checking the cable length.

Thanks, will need to check the lengths of the cables on mine to be sure, some of the listings it seems the numbers are tallying up the but the lengths dont. I'm planning to do the sensors in a month or two so will have a look then. I bought another bosch one thinking it was for mine but when I researched the number again, I found it was actually for a Corsa 1.2 lol. I do have the Bosch 0258006176 one so that's a start.

OK, thanks yes, what I need is sensor 1, I am afraid that it is sensor 2 if "rear" means that. Then 9195606 would be the one I need?

http://oemcats.com/oem-parts/9199469.html this is according to link for "rear exhaust pipe"

I have a bosch 0258 006 176 with AH tag on it, which ties into vx part no 9195606 and is listed as for front, from what I am reading. Only thing I'm wondering is it says the length should be 850mm but mne is 630mm. Anyone confirm the lengths of front and back ones?

I think everyone is getting ahead of themselves and they'll have to drag Boris out of No10 kicking and screaming!  ;D

At last count, 37 members of his Government have now resigned, with those within his party predicting he will “go tonight”.  There is no way he can fill those vacancies as few want to now be associated with him to that level. So effectively Boris has no Government left to lead.

I reckon when Boris goes they should ask him to turn the lights off in No.10 as no one will be left inside😅!!

Larry the cat is holding out!

Oh ffs. 🤣 does anyone know where I can get v6 cam covers?

Someone can confirm for certain but I'm sure it was another model that had the metal covers, the vectra or another one.

… if anyone knows part number that would be brilliant 👍👍👍👍

I got these 2 both for the 2.6 though, so 2.5 maybe different:

90376209
90458540

Just listed for Omega, no engine listed so maybe the same:

Just started stripping out all the stuff to do the following jobs:

Engine:
Timing belt
Rocker gaskets
Oil cooler

underneath:
poly bushes for the arms
Ball joints (Refurbish arms basically)

Decided to give the oil cooler job a go, never done it before so wanted to see how it all came apart and give it the once over while there. Utter pain in the pants getting those oil cooler > block pipes off, I managed to get it with normal 19mm spanner, but only just, very limited movement and had to remove the crank sensor for space.

The big nut. closest to front, that holds the plate onto the oil cooler also stripped thread on the way off and had to grab it with a pair of parrot grips to yank it off. looking at the cooler it looks clean enough on the outside but I can only see glimmers of light through it. I've got 2 new ones so may as well replace it while it's out. The sealant on the plate was looking a bit disheveled so get that sealed up properly again.

Stripped all the belt out as well and locked up the engine ready for the new belt. Funny that the tensioner had 2 big indents right round it, couldn't see where that came from. The tensioners all feel nice and tight as does the water pump, but you can see the dust from the belt all over the back casing.

Still to strip the arms out to replace the bushes with polys and the ball joints. I'm going to find perfect bushes and ball joints I just know it!

Plenty to keep me going!

I've got a set of Nexen tyres on the front, appreantly they are standard fit to Audis according to the tyre guy, which is a load of bullplop, but they seem ok - China's best!:

Audi cooperates with top tyre manufacturers such as Bridgestone, Toyo, Dunlop or Goodyear.

Take it the battery is ok? I know it cranks over but have heard of duff batteries having just enough to churn it over but not enough to run all the gubbins, causing wizardry in the leccy system, had a similar issue and that was on an old 95 cavy with simple multec injection.

Omega General Help / Re: oil breather housing removal
« on: 28 May 2022, 15:21:52 »
Last time I pushed a wee thin screwdriver down the small breather hole, that was it, didn't feel any blockage, tbh I didn't even know at the time there was a breather box in there. I was changing oil anyway so anything that fell down would hopefully have been discarded.

Will have a closer look and check next oil change. Got my elite breathers to do soon, so will check it more thorughly on that one as well.

Cheers
