Omega Electrical and Audio Help / DRL relay

« on: 05 July 2007, 23:57:40 »

Hi,
Does anyone know exactly where the daytime running light relay is?
I think it is on A pillar in the passenger side (from a left hand drive). Is it hard to reach?
I put a fuse in the DRL socket (in the fusebox), but only the position lamps turn on. I don't know what can that mean.

I want to enable these lights, because here in Chile the DRL are mandatory since 1st June on the interurban roads (including motorways). I think that it is best to have the lights running automatically all the time in order to avoid stupid tickets.

Omega General Help / Another coolant leaking problem

« on: 19 November 2007, 01:34:51 »

I everyone,

I'm having a very wierd coolant leakage. Like I said in a post from other thread, I've coolant in the crankcase breather lines. The symptom is that the coolant acumulates before the butterflies (throttle body) and in the breather tubes.
I really don't have a clue of what is causing this. I don't have water in the oil neither oil in the water. I first thought that the coolant could come from the coolant line in the throttle body, but I couldn't feel any leakage there.
Does anyone know if in the breather box behind the engine is a coolant line?
Any other Idea?

Thanks in advance

Omega General Help / Rear suspension noise

« on: 09 July 2007, 20:56:12 »

Hi,
I have a really anoying noise coming form the back of the car (the noise is stronger in the right side). It is like a fast "tack, tack, tack, etc...". The shocks are Bilstein (OE quality) new. I used to have a similar noise in the front. That were the links to the anti-roll bar, but I don't know if they also fail in the rear. The noise fades out a lot when the car is "warm".
Could it be the Shocks? or maybe something in the diff.? I think that these are the only things that can "warm up" back there (oil in the shocks and diff).

Any clue?

Thanks

Hi all, I'm Alvaro from Viņa del Mar, Chile.
I've got a 1997 Opel Omega MV6. Excellent car, sadly is the maintenance expensive, but I think I can get good advices form this community  .
I will soon post  a pic of my car, but it seems that I need to upload it to a server before posting it here.
