The back box for the 3.0 with the twin pipes, will that foul against the gap in the bottom of the bumper or were the bumpers for all facelift saloons the same, meaning that the twin pipes will protrude through the gap comfortably ?

From ebay seller only-exhaust? The complete 2.5 system they have listed is for an estate. Estates differ from saloons. You need one for a saloon and that's the 3.0. At least if you want a TTM, there are other pricier makes available.

Or are you just going to buy the back box without the centre sections?

Just noticed the estate bit, thanks. I've got horse tail starting to appear out of the back box so I thought might as well do whole system.

Thanks in advance.

hi folks i plugged the code reader in on friday nd with the engine ont running i get code 31 no rpm sighal.with the engine running i got this data.
hall sensor off
engine speed pulse yes,
knock signal load no.
mixture 1 lean.
mixture 2 rich..
not sure what to make of it weather it is a crank sensor or something else. :y
I don't know much but I believe code 31 is normal when engine isn't running.
Someone with more knowledge will be along soon.

Got given a 1.6 petrol on hire last year.
Cheap, unresponsive, underpowered, woolly handling piece of junk. Felt like an old style Meriva and how it used to feel to drive.  >:(

Advisories on the last MOT are front tyres close to legal limit and Low Oil!!  ....

Since when has the oil level been MOTable  ??? ???

I'd imagine the tester has seen a dash warning light and advised. My last test advised re the coolant leak I knew about, which turned out to be the HBV.

Glad it all got sorted and you had a safe journey  :)
get a few tins of supertrol with the savings too Lizzie
not all shoes and handbags  :D

Thanks Dave! :-* :y

I had a great welcome when I arrived outside SOS; not from a human but from another 2003 Omega in my colour, but a 2.6:




Made me feel right at home :D :D ;)




The one on the right is mine. Serek replaced the HBV for me. I'm going to part company with it soon.

Omega General Help / Re: Which windscreen ?
« on: 19 September 2018, 07:58:35 »
Agree with the above. To their credit Autoglass sent two fitters each time and I have to say that when it was finally fitted with all the GM kit, it fitted perfectly and the guys did a very neat job inside and out. No excess sealant, no bits left over the car or on the ground and when running, no wind noise or leaks.
The key to all of this is to politely insist on genuine parts as the Omega simply refuses to allow pattern parts to work in the windscreen area.

My saga was n August 2016. I tried digging out the old e-mails but the parts diagram from Karl in parts dept at Lookers Vauxhall, Yardley tel 0121 700 7703, was missing. What is referred to in my e-mail was ensuring part numbers 1-7 inclusive were sent out with the tinted screen and new rubbers. ( maybe the rubbers were included in those numbers, can't remember )
My contact at Autoglass who was attentive and most importantly, listened, was David Denton in Cardington, Beds. He used to be a fitter and knew what I was talking about. Nice man. Good, old fashioned customer service.

If he's still there he can be contacted on david.denton@autoglass.co.uk

My car is a 2.6 V6 petrol saloon index KC03 GNU, just on the off chance that they have a copy of all the bits ordered for mine. If they want my name etc, lease pm me. ( my name isn't Paddy Flannery )

2 years later, the screen is still nice and snug in the frame.

Please let me know how you get on and good luck. In my saga, it was worth insisting on genuine parts and David Denton didn't question it, he went ahead and asked Vauxhall Yardley to send the diagram to me via him and asked me to list the parts I needed.

I was successful in getting my excess refunded when Autoglass arrived with wrong glass first and then when the fitter told them what to order, the new screen arrived but with pattern "goalposts" , the metal runners along top of screen and down both A pillars hence the goalpost shape. The rubbers worked loose and flapped on first motorway run. Fitter agreed the rubber couldn't be fitted snugly into the pattern runners. I insisted on GM ones and when they were fitted with the GM windscreen all was good.
Quite a few firm but polite e-mails got me what I wanted.
Good luck.

There are hundreds of cars/vans/lorries on the road just now with poorly aimed headlights.  >:(

At least you've recognised it and are doing something about it  :y
