General Car Chat / Re: 2012 mundano oil and fuel filter change
« on: 06 February 2023, 15:48:54 »On my 2008 2.2 TDCi the fuel filter is at the front o/s and as you say is a plastic container thingy.
I always fill the new filter with diesel before fitting and then it will start and self bleed.
That's what I was suspecting thanks, that it is up front rather than underneath.

For scam/phising emails, the email marketing software knows you've interacted with an email so I just hover over the sender to see if it's cloaked email adress, then if it is just leave it without opening it or moving it to spam, after a couple of weeks just delete it, by that times the spammer will have moved to a new campaign of spamming people, as they continually create new sender email addresses to spam from.

General Car Chat / 2012 mundano oil and fuel filter change
« on: 06 February 2023, 13:52:20 »
Hi All
Got an oil and filter change to do on a mate's mondeo diesel and had a look at it the other day noticed you need a 27mm shallow socket to get the top of the oil filter cover off, the oil filter is a paper filter insert, and is situated on the front of the block, slighty to the left of the downpipe as you look at the front of the car, could get a 1/2" socket on it but not with ratchet on it as well. I think it needs to be 3/4" drive as it's a bit of a tight fit for a 1/2" ratchet.
Not had a look at the fuel filter yet, watched a video on the tube about this and it seems the filter is under the back near the tank, and you have to manually bleed the feed to the pump once you've changed it (There's no primer apparently - who designed that
). However looking at his it looks like there is some sort of filter container thing on drivers side just under the big plastic cover on the engine.
Anyone know for certain if the filter is indeed at the back or can it be in the engine bay in these as well depending on year/model etc?
Thanks

« on: 06 February 2023, 13:42:26 »The pipe doesn't come with the black plastic fitting shown on the ebay listing
Hi Dave
Where does that fitment on the end of the pipe go or does that come off, is there a push on clip on the in tank pipe or is i tjubillee clips or those spring clips?
Had a look on the parts diagram and it doesn't show any type of clips I can see.
https://opel.catalogs-parts.com/#{client:1;page:part;lang:ru;category:car;catalog:v94;group:g;groupsub:0;subgroup:23-1}
both ends of the pipe have about 30mm of strait (NOT Convoluted) pipe ,1 x 9mm ID ,1 x 8mm ID
the rest of the pipe is convoluted /corrugated ,making it very flexible .
you need to gently heat (boiling water is OK, NOT a naked flame) the pipe to get it to slide on the pump and outlet .
standard fuel line clips to secure in place
this pipe is a great "off the shelf solution "
Thanks, I've just got one as it will be a good piece of kit to have whenever I change that pipe, which I will do probably sooner rather than later.

« on: 05 February 2023, 14:17:44 »The reason for the "Protec Fuel Systems Convoluted In Tank Fuel Hose - 8/9mm Ends / 280mm Long" in my link is because the original in tank hose is shaped with tight curves ,which is difficult to achieve with off the shelf hose in such a tight space

Omega General Help / Re: 2.6 metallic "clink" sound on start up
« on: 16 January 2023, 09:43:54 »You need to spin the pulley by hand BEFORE you start it.
Ok, will do that first.

Omega General Help / Re: 2.6 metallic "clink" sound on start up
« on: 15 January 2023, 22:21:03 »It did sound like something pinging against the water pump pulley.
Of course, nothing to say that it isn't coming from inside the waterpump.
Belt off and check it for any play or roughness, ideally from ice cold rather than just running.
Will give it a wee start up tomorrow see if I can get a better idea where it's coming from. Got between now and April before it goes back on the black so got some time for strip down and check (The car, not me!)

« on: 15 January 2023, 16:54:46 »Is it a sticking valve lifternot uncommon if the car has been left un-started
Don't know, it sounded round about the aux belt area. Very high pitched, but not loud really, almost like someone was tapping a spoon off something metallic. I'll start it up tomorrow and see if I can catch it a bit earlier this time.

Checked all the bolts for the water pump, steering pump and only thing I could find was a bit of play in the aux belt tensioner, considering it's still got tension on it, imagine it might have a bit more play in it when tension is off.
Need to remove it and check. Funnily enough I just ordered a new spare one last year, I also greased up the existing one the last time I did the belt. Still, a strange noise to get from a worn tensioner, would have thought it would be a more dry constant dull sound, if indeed that is the issue.

Omega General Help / 2.6 metallic "clink" sound on start up
« on: 08 January 2023, 15:07:37 »
Hi
So car's been lying up over Winter with the occassionally start up and drive about to keep things from seizing up. I noticed today when I started it there was a sound that lasted for a minute or two then went away, what can only be described as a clinking metallic sound from around about the drive belt area. It was hard to pinpoint exactly the area it was coming from as by the time I noticed the sound and started investigating, it disappeared.
Hopefully this google video works on here if not let me know and will upload it to another sharing site.

nothing been done on car recently, last thing done was belt in 2021, and everything seems ok last time I was in there.
