Omega General Help / Immobiliser code.
« on: 13 February 2010, 15:29:39 »
Having spent an hour looking for my code card after changing the battery, and finding it I'm pleased to say, I wonder how the Immobiliser code is used. I don't need it, I hope, but it might be useful to know.

Omega General Help / Auto gear lever
« on: 09 February 2010, 17:48:32 »
Does anyone else find that after starting it is sometimes difficult to move the gear lever from park? I often have to release the brake pedal, and then try again, often 2 or 3 times. This is more likely to occur when starting from cold.

Omega General Help / Mini face lift panel hole
« on: 02 February 2010, 22:37:20 »
Just shows what an inquiring mind I have (not). But after 11 years I've never asked what the square hole is for above my climate panel. It probably tells me in my handbook, but I can't be bothered to go out to the car. I use it to keep tissues in, but I doubt this was GM's plan.
Any suggestions? Other than fag packets. :-?

Omega General Help / Td mpg
« on: 28 January 2010, 23:12:12 »
As everyone else with a Td seems to get very good mpg, it is time I started looking to improve mine. It has always returned about 27 on local drives, and 33 on a motorway. Same before and after chipping. Can anyone suggest a methodical way to check any relevant items to improve things. :-?

Has anyone used these? And do they cover the 2.5td? It does say all models, so it should.

Omega General Help / A different question, HELP!
« on: 17 January 2010, 15:37:40 »
'99 2.5td. I can see the tensioner to be adjusted/relaxed for the water pump removal, but the front belt does not appear to have a tensioner, just an idler below the LH (from front) belt driven unit (AC compressor?). Does this idler have to come off/be adjusted?
I am reluctant to take the belt off without knowing how it is tensioned/adjusted if required. But I would like to replace it along with the main belt and water pump.
Help please guys. :-/

Omega General Help / 1999 2.5td Drive belts
« on: 17 January 2010, 13:46:46 »
Hi guys, just changing my drive belts and water pump. Bionic & Charlie posted in threads that there is a maintenance guide to what needs to be slackened etc. Could somebody post the link to it please. I always have difficulty using the search facility, and cannot find this after 45mins searching.
TIA
PS Charlie also said that ALI had posted pics but again I can't find it. What am I doing wrong with the 'SEARCH'? :-?

Is there anything tricky, other than isolating the seat belt tensioning system, about removing a drivers seat?

Omega General Help / VX goodies extras
« on: 05 January 2010, 19:01:15 »
I was fascinated to read on another thread that to fit Cruise to a td only requires a stalk. Can anyone remember how much VX charged if not fitted as standard? IIRC the CDX & Elite were standard.

Omega General Help / Two things
« on: 04 January 2010, 11:22:38 »
1. Is the aux belt tensioner similar on the 2.5td, and with a similar failure rate? I'm changing the belts soon, and the water pump as a precaution, so I'm wondering whether to do the tensioner, if applicable.
2. I've forgotten the second, it'll come back later.
