Omega General Help / Re: Air con question

« on: 02 August 2020, 14:05:15 »

Engine running, open the bonnet.

On the climate panel press ECO so that it shows on the display.

Under the bonnet, the centre of the aircon pulley (bottom right as you look at it) will be stopped.

Press ECO again so that it is gone from the display and look under the bonnet again. The centre of the pulley should be spinning if the aircon has enough gas to work.

The aircon side of things will work regardless of cabin temperature settings. Reading the manual is actually quite informative with regards to the climate control as it's a bit cleverer than the controls suggest

Victor Reinz will be fine, but you shouldn't need the inlet seals unless you are an animal removing everything.

If in doubt, get a top end seal kit

General Discussion Area / Re: Does Sweden have it right.

« on: 02 August 2020, 13:00:26 »

Apparently Sweden says they have 40 to 45 % herd immunity.  Some of their scientists are saying that it's not true, but their death rate is 561 per million which is lower than the UK.

'dangle berries'. In a word.

They've nearly twice as many cases as us currently.

We've tested twice as many people as there are in Sweden.

We have four times more BAME people here in percentage terms than they do, bearing in mind that our population is NINE times larger, so that's actually something like 8 million vs 40,000 BAME citizens who are automatically more susceptible. (We have ten times more BAME citizens than the ENTIRE population of Sweden)

And inspite of the resurgence, GLOBAL deaths are still out numbered 2:1 by people living in Birmingham.

Oh, and apparently the death rate in the US is under 500 per million, but they won't tell you that in the Guardian

45nm rings a bell... do you have a Haynes manual? worth getting if not as it has all the torque settings (along with step by step procedures for most jobs not covered by the extensive guides here)

The brackets screw on iirc, so easy enough to swap if it's an issue

Omega General Help / Re: Rear Window not working - Makes noise, but no action !

« on: 01 August 2020, 20:47:34 »

Door card self explanatory to remove, except two hidden screws... One in the depths of the armrest handle behind a cap and one behind the ashtray

Work the window up and down with the switch and liberallu whilst spraying silicon spray into the runners.

It's good practice to cycle all the windows/sunroof and doors once a month, if only to keep them working

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: NCDC 2015 Wiring

« on: 01 August 2020, 19:45:09 »

You need the extra loom for the CID, and technically a non computer wiper switch. (you might get away with simply unplugging the small plug where the stalk enters the column... It's only a couple of screws to remove the upper cover and you'll see the plug there)

It should otherwise work but wont display any nav information. For that you also need the GPS wiring.
