Omega General Help / Re: Heater and blower working now on PFL MV6
« on: 11 January 2022, 17:38:20 »No it’s on the electronic 4 dial control panel for the a/c and heating - there’s 2 onhete that are a pig to do. The instrument panel itself is okAh, sorry, my bad.
Its been ages since I had to do a PFL climate panel, but I seem to remember the black plastic rear part unclips off, which gives full access? The hardest part, from memory, is removing the climate panel from the dash in the first place.
Especially if a previous owner has mangled the secret hidden release mechanism!

Omega General Help / Re: Boot getting damp
« on: 04 January 2022, 12:04:20 »
Had this on my MV6 and I eventually traced it to the external trim between the roof pillar and the rear wing - it did always feel quite loose.
Prised it off, removed the white plastic inserts from the pillar, cleaned and dried everything, put the inserts back in with a bed of sealant and filled the void in them with sealant too before clipping the trim back on. After a few warm days to dry out boot was dry as a bone.
The clue I had missed was rust on the underside of the gutter below both lower corners of the rear window - obviously only visible if you lie in the boot and look up at the channel beneath the rear window.

Vacuum pipe connection chart is here

The only vacuum pipe that goes onto the plenum is for the multi-ram valve at the very back. There is also the vacuum connection to the fuel pressure regulator which is underneath the plenum.

For the V6s (and probably other models too) Victor Reinz were one of the main OE manufacturers

What flavour?
Halogen reflector / halogen projector / xenon?
I have one halogen reflector from a '95 Elite but can't remember which side.

« on: 19 October 2021, 17:19:39 »Quite possibly
However, OP did say four knobs, so I took that as Electronic Climate Control
Yeah, the description...
It’s the pfl with the 4 round control buttons (1999 mini facelift) 👍
...could be either the early style rotary controls (vacuum actuated), or the MFL 4 cluster ECC

« on: 19 October 2021, 15:58:39 »If the battery has been disconnected or discharged it may be worth going through the reset procedure - with the ignition on, hold down Auto and Off for 10 seconds.That only works for face-lift climate equipped cars
You mean... and mini-facelift with electronic climate control... ?
OP has 1999 MV6, I had several such vintage, all had dual zone electronic climate control, possibly excluding ex-plod. I still have a spare set in the garage for some reason (picture below is not mine)

« on: 22 September 2021, 14:49:03 »Not sure you could actually fit the shaft if it was assembled with the flange against the high sideThanks for all tips, I think I start from rear discs as they are badly corroded and should be changed anyway due to MOT in Nov. -21. My prop shaft was off some years ago due to change of rear crank seal. I believe it is correctly fitted but could you explain how it should be; three bolts in gear and diff. If one of the three in diff side point down should one of the three point down also in hear side or what this fig is showing to me. Explanation needed please.In summary:
Each face of the donuts has three raised portions.
The bolts are inserted from the high side.
The low side sits against the flange (gearbox/diff/prop shaft).
The nut is always fitted to the rear of the flange, and not the donut.
Anyhoo, the original problem cannot be prop shaft related as it is apparent at road speeds not engine speeds...
So... In no particular order:
1. Tyres: correctly fitted and balanced?
2. Wheels: true and free from buckles?
3. Discs: True and actually round?* Not warped?
4. Hubs: faces clean? Bearings sound?
5. Drive shafts: play in the CVs?
*there's a reason genuine discs are more expensive... They tend to actually machine them with a degree of accuracy compared to £15 Amazon specials
My money's on this, it is perfectly possible to balance a buckled wheel but it will shake the car to pieces on the road. Had this with more than one pre-facelift MV6 (made of toffee) wheels.

I presume all the vacuum and wiring connectors that were undone for the cam cover change have been double-checked, could just be an air leak.
p.s. I'm not an expert on 2.2s by any means
