Omega General Help / 2.2 MPG.. What should it be?
« on: 25 June 2009, 11:22:05 »
My 2.2 has always averaged about 26mpg mixed urban/motorway driving and I've never really thought anything of it.. But I  noticed the other day that my mate with a 3.2 Vectra is getting similar mpg so mine must be terrible  ;D

It runs perfectly and it is regularly serviced, are the 2.2's just really bad?

I've  had the Check Oil Level come up loads of times and the level is perfect.. Its always happened when I've been driving normally too :)

Kind of numb's you to it though and when the oil is actually low you'll be thinking 'meh its lying again'  ;D

Cheers guys.. It was leaking again just now (we've had really heavy rain)


Lifted the scuttle cover and found this


The drain plug was blocked, with glass! Cut my finger to shit poking it out.. Nice one RAC windscreens  ;D

Omega General Help / Water leak in passenger footwell
« on: 10 November 2008, 10:54:46 »
I was in a convery belt carwash on sunday and some old fart stalled at the end and couldnt start his car so I was stuck under the water spray bit for about 5 minutes.. I started hearing water inside the car and I noticed water dripping from under the dash into the passenger footwell, I turned off the air recirc and suddenly about a litre of water came gushing in and started sloshing about in my footwell..

Has anyone else experienced a leak like this before?  ;D

age?

Being a sport i would suspect 2002 ish.

Why on earth they badged the 2.2 a sport i will never know, its not sporty!!

Don't pay any more than 2.4k



Is average, nothing more.
Its not that bad and you did get MV6 bumpers and trim :)
These do make quite good money but if you can get it for under £2750 then its a good buy ;)


I have a 2.2 manual, and its not sporty!

Spent a lot of time getting performance back, lots of oil changes breather cleaning, its picked up.

But still slow as fek.

£2750 is overpriced, there is a 2001 3.2 MV6 retail spec with 49k miles going for 2.6k.

Its worth 2.4k max.


You really cant compare the price of a 3.2 MV6 to a 2.2..  The V6's are near enough worthless at the moment, I've seen two 02 plate 2.6 V6's scrapped with reasonable mileage.. One had a failed CHG and the other had a failed oil cooler..

Both weighed in for scrap because its just not worth the agro of selling an oldish large saloon these days.

I doubt my immaculate 60k mile CD is worth any more than £1,500 in todays market.

Omega General Help / Re: Heated seats head ache!
« on: 07 August 2008, 08:53:16 »
Yeah there is one extra green connector on my original seats (two wires) this is the 'seat temperature' signal as you say..

I lifted the fabric from the base of the original seats to have a look inside and see how easy it would be to change the heater element over but thats a no go, the base on MV6 seats is too small for the heater pad due to the extenable front section.

I've just ordered up some 4k7 termistors which need to go on the black/white + brown wires from the control unit but I'm just curious as to which wires the Brown and Red need to connect to on the MV6 seat, I assume I connect Red to Black and brown to the two brown wires..

I had a brain wave.. I've measured the thermistor in the original seats and its about 7k5 @ 20 degrees.. I'm going to order a couple of thermistors and retro fit the control units, the thermistor lives just at the top of the hole in the foam anyway so it should work fine :)

Still need to know what the three wires in the MV6 seats do though :(

I've just fitted some 99 MV6 seats to my 01 CD.. I've had to swap over the seat belt tensioners but everything else plugged right in.. Problem I've got is my heated seats are on constantly! I've pulled the little control unit out of the standard CD seats but it has four wires to the heat pads not one.. After looking on TIS the Thick red and brown wires are for the heat elements and the brown and black/white wires are for the temperature sensor..  However the MV6 seats have 3 wires, Two browns and a black..

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a 99 MV6.. TIS only goes back to 2001 and my Haynes Manual shows only two wires on the late models not three :(

Cheers!

Omega General Help / Face lift omega & traction control
« on: 03 July 2008, 12:00:12 »
I just 'raped' a 02 omega of any goodies I could save from it before it went to the great scrap heap in the sky..

One of the things I removed was the TC switch.. I know on the later solid state ECU's (Simtec 5.6/Motronic 1.5.5) TC is controlled by the ECU so my question is can I just stick the switch in my Omega CD  (its got the wiring etc) and it will just work? I assume I also need to fit a bulb in the dash?

Thanks for any info :)

The small breather pipe that goes to the ISCV was FULL of crud and so was the ISCV.. cleaned them out and its running much much better!

I didnt even realise the Y22XE had an ISCV  :o

Cheers guys! :y
