replaced the air filter yesterday, it was very dirty, turbo still whistles with new air filter, have the same engine in my vectra and that doesnt whistle at all, did read that it could be loose hoses or split pipes, so i`ll be checking them thanks.
i know the omega is a heavier car but it does seem down on power compared to the vectra
i will be changing the fuel and oil filters too,
cheers.

hiya,,
i managed to get a 02 dti, its been around and looks abit neglected but i plan to get it back to its former glory.
couples of Qs for now if anyone can help.
the turbo seems to whistle when spooling up and the power delivery as a very slight flat spot, does this mean the turbo unit is on its way out?
any tips on changing the fuel filter,, took a while to find it as its buried under loads of pipes.
i`m sure i`ll be asking more later but any help with these will be most welcome.
thanks. Paul

Omega General Help / turbo leaking oil
« on: 17 May 2009, 10:00:00 »
i`ve noticed that after i`d driven the car for a while i could smell burning oil, looking under the bonnet i could see smoke coming up from under the turbo unit, i can`t say for certain that it is coming from the turbo its self,
as anybody had problems with these turbos leaking?
its a 2.2 dti 02.
cheers .

« on: 13 May 2009, 21:00:42 »
yeh i think thats what i`ll do,, i`ll disconnect battery wait half hour then unbolt , i know other cars seem to have enough wire to beable to to have a look to get a better idea
i`ve bought the airbag cover which is the bit that is in the middle of the steering wheel it as the griffin on it, reason being is that my car as got very worn were the horn buttons are and its torn and looks very unsightly

i want to avoid disconnecting the airbag as i only want to replace the cover,, can this be done without having to take the airbag off? i remember having to have my calibra cleared by vauxhall when i replaced the airbag on that and dont want to have do that again.

Omega General Help / do all Omegas have trip computer?
« on: 06 May 2009, 20:21:31 »
hiya,
went to look at a cdx yesterday and noticed the wiper stalk didnt have any buttons on the end to flip through the trip computer plus the display was completely different,, there was an after market cd player in the dash so i know the display wouldnt show stations as when i changed the head unit in my previous car.
the car was a 02 model and i would of expected the milometer to be digital but it was the old cylinder type as was the case with me 96 elite
cheers
