All 4 internal door buttons rattle on my 2001 Omega. Any tips on how to stop this?

Thanks

They all rattle to some extent. Just lock the doors and no more rattle (or not as bad at least).

Omega General Help / Passenger seat height adjust failure
« on: 10 May 2011, 22:04:59 »
Have a 01 Omega with elec. seat height adjustment. When I operate the switch to adjust height I just get a clunk but no movement. Is it motor failure as I suspect or is there something seized in the seat base? Any advice appreciated. :y

Omega General Help / Re: losing coolant quite bad

There is a coolant shut off valve for the interior heating that has been known to leak. There are 3 pipes going to the valve and it is vacum controlled.

Swap your bulbs left to right. A bit of a fiddly job but you are then sure if you need a bulb or not.

Amazing forum for all things Omega. I have had mine since 05 when it came up for sale. I work in our family run Opel dealers in the west of Ireland so have a bit of knowledge on Omega. They unfortunately are rare enough in Ireland above 2.0 as road tax is astronmical on anything above a 2.0. (My 3.2 is €1566 annually).

Am blown away by the dept of knowledge of forum members and the willingness to share with other Omega enthusiasts. Will post a few pics of the Omega when things get a bit warmer.

Thanks,

Special tools required for rear hub removal. You will destroy the bearing to do it. Special tools also needed to install new bearing & hub.

Class project. Looking forward to seeing end result.

May be a daft question / or may have been asked and answered.
How many were sold in this country and how many do people estimate are left on the road?

Just curious as cars that were in abundance suddenly seem to become very rare.

Check out the link below. Everything you need to know.

Would the 2.8 V6 (z28net)Turbo from the Vectra C VXR be a possibility? 185kw power/350nm torque(about 260bhp). The 2.8 in the Insignia VXR is putting out 300+.

Don't know about oven cleaner but used some well diluted caustic soda on one myself & it worked a treat. Gave it a good rinse out afterwords. Most importantly PDF must be regenerated when refitted. This not only completely cleans out remaining soot frim DPF it also resets the counter in the engine ECU that works out the soot loading in same.
Two things though.1- DPF regeneration willl not happen if there is any fault picked up in engine ECU. (Split pipe from front of DPF to pressure sensor on bulkhead being one that comes to mind). Any faults in engine Ecu must be eliminated before it will proceed. 2- DPF temp gets up to 650 degrees when regenerating so only do it in a wide open space on concrete. Also you do need diagnostic equipment to trigger a regen.

Usually the problem with this engine is a failed Egr valve that stuffs the DPF with soot after 100 miles driving. On earlier cars without DPF the EGR would just cause power loss & hard starting.

Anything is possible mate :y

With enough time & money anything is indeed possible. Unfortunately I have a limited supply of both. :'(

Have been advised wires are not there. Will check for myself. Thanks for info.
