Omega General Help / Head gasket?
« on: 28 February 2024, 18:20:23 »
Hi guys, my omega has always had some coolant missing, small amounts, nothing serious, but in latest month it became really strange.
Omega had heater core blocked so I did matrix flush and the heat is back. Job jobbed or so I thought...It developed a leak on lower heater hose fast clamp, so I cut plastic piece off and used hose clamp - success....not really...
it started leaking on HBV...replaced it and now it's dry as a bone....but leak transfered to radiator AUX pump, so I removed it and connected both radiator hoses together with a piece of steel pipe...And then leak transfered to fan switch on the top of lower radiator hose...
Strange thing is it only leaks a tiny bit when the engine is cooling down, not being hhot anymore.
What concerns me the most is, when the system is cold, next day after driving, coolant level is an inch low... if I open coolant bottle cap level rises close to max and a sound of pressure is released. Pressure in cold system makes me wonder if there is maybe head gasket problem....
Any help appreciated.
Thanks guys

Omega General Help / AC compressor
« on: 04 July 2022, 16:13:43 »
Well...after I decided that Omega was perfect, project done....compressor gave up this afternoon...started rattling as hell, blowing warm...clutch engages and disengages normally....
I ordered new compressor and now I need to know two things:
1. How much lubricating oil should be in new compressor

2. Part number for 2 dowty washers that go between AC compressor and cooling lines

New compressor will arrive in two days, replacing it won't be a problem, but I can't find where to buy those 2 dowty washers.
Thanks in advance, Stan

Omega General Help / Shocks and springs recomendations
« on: 18 May 2022, 12:36:41 »
Hi guys, my omega is in for rust repair which will take a while. I went to see the work in progress today and found front right shock is leaking.
I would like to replace all four of them and while I'm there fit new springs too.

I would like to keep stock height and not to harsh ride. I like the comfy way omegas drive, so I don't need lowering springs and and some sporty shocks. I'm getting to old for that :P

Any recomedations for parts and manufacturer is appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Stan

Omega General Help / Starting problem 3.0 v6
« on: 24 March 2022, 09:13:28 »
Hi guys, my Omega developed a strange starting problem. It starts ok when cold, it starts ok when hot.
But if I turn off the engine and wait for 30 mins to maybe 2 hours, it just cranks to infinity.
But if I turn the key off and crank it again, it always starts without any problem on second try. Like nothing has happened.
Any ideas, before it lets me down?
Thanks in advance, Stan

« on: 17 March 2022, 09:02:42 »
Hy guys, I'm planning to fix some rust issues on my Omega and could also fix roof rust while I'm there. I'd like to get replacement aerial before the job starts.
Does anyone have link or any recomendations for aerial that would fit?
Thanks in advance, Stan

« on: 21 February 2022, 09:28:49 »
Hi guys, are those still available? I've been searching all over ebay, found some from Germany - for that price I can get a golden ones.
I went to Opel stealers today and they said the item was unavailable. Does anyone have some spare ones maybe?
Thanks in advance, Stan

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Misfire 2.5 V6
« on: 14 August 2021, 10:53:47 »
I took the old girl to car wash other day and ended with misfire. It's obviously a water related misfire, the trick is to find  the culprit :-[
I left omega to stay over night, since I don't drive it so often but the misfire was still there next day. So I took plenum off, made sure all plug leads were dry, used contact spray and the misfire disappeared.
Until the next day.
Work done till now : spark plug leads replaced, dis pack replaced a year ago (original Bosch) everything to no avail.
Spark plugs are next on to do the list....Could water somehow damage relatively new dis pack at the back?
Any help appreciated :-\

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Heater blower motor
« on: 28 June 2021, 05:04:06 »
Hello guys, heater blower motor seems to have failed. It still works on every speed, but sound like bearings have failed.  I'm keeping it on the lowest setting for now due to the droaning sound it makes.
Does anyone have part number for the blower motor? I need to buy a new one.
Thanks in advance

Omega General Help / Fuel leak
« on: 26 June 2021, 08:42:56 »
Hello guys, this happened twice when the tank is full of fuel. There was smell of gasoline in the cabin, so I took the fuel pump cover off and found the culprit. I won't remove the pump until the fuel level drops, but I'd like to know what part will need to be replaced, if anyone knows. Thanks in advance

General Car Chat / Engine undertray type
« on: 02 May 2021, 08:14:12 »
Hello. My omega is missing an undertray. I replaced AC compressor and the old one had really rusty clutch on it.
Since AC compressor lays quite low I think that could be from water/salt damage.
When searching for the undertray I came across two different part with the same part number.



This is the one I know from previous omegas, and the lower one is the unknown to me

Is the last one for omega at all?

Omega General Help / Sticky throttle
« on: 28 April 2021, 15:00:51 »
So....I managed to put my project 3.0 omega back together. I ditched SAI gublins, eml isn't on, everything works fine, idles perfectly. No obvious vacuum leak - tested with brake cleaner, breather system clean as a whistle.

Downsides: cranks a bit longer before start when cold
                      It has no insurance or number plate at the moment, that why I can't test it on the road
 When I put it in 1st gear and try to drive off it stops pulling at around 1500 rpm, sits there for a second and then all the power suddenly comes back and wants to act like nothing has happened.
When I rev it up in neutral it revs fine. Problem appears only when under load.
I can't really tell what happens in second gear due to reasons stated above.

I forgot to add it's manual

Omega Gallery / Project money pit
« on: 22 November 2020, 13:07:45 »
I bought this manual 3.0 in September, for cheap knowing it will cost me reasonable amount of money to fix, but I plan to keep it as a summer time car anyway, so the work can be done slowly.
It's driveable, has MOT and more important - I was on a hunt for one of these for a long time.
So here she is



Right away the work started. As any Omega, this one had some rust problems. What I've learned in almost 10 years of Omega ownership is where to find the hidden rust.
If your Omega has foggy windows look for this in driver/passenger side footwell



And fixed with new metal welded in



Removing the carpets revealed another spot



Repaired, new plate welded in and protected
