Omega Electrical and Audio Help / CDC 2 Problem
« on: 13 January 2009, 18:11:04 »
Takes the cd cassette makes a 'click-click-click' sound then 'dead', head unit (CCR800) shows CD-ER, spoke to 'Dave DCD' who suggested a number of actions which proved the head unit was ok(many thanks Dave), just wondered if anyone a) have had a similar problem - and fixed it, or b) has a unit going spare, Vauxhall no - 90 493 268, Blaupunkt no - 7 607 776 320, must be the same numbers.

Omega General Help / Brake Squeak !!
« on: 19 May 2010, 19:43:12 »
Front disc's started making a very loud 'squeaking' sound, stripped them down to find that one of the f/o/s pads was missing the 'anti-squeal' spring, no idea where it's gone but the 'wear sensor' is also broken, pads are only 1/4 worn, does anyone have a 'spring' going spare, please ?

Omega General Help / Strange Starting Problem !!!
« on: 06 April 2010, 18:04:33 »
So today Lee (Welung666) connected his 'box of tricks' to my 2.5 petrol Omega and---- nothing, no stored codes, no running problems, all normal.
Very grateful to Lee for his time and trouble (I will buy you that pint, or two).
So the problem continues, anything other than a hot engine requires a second turn of the key to start, any ideas please.

Omega General Help / Strange Starting Problem
« on: 04 March 2010, 18:08:41 »
This is thrown open to the 'forum'.
In an effort to sort my V6 starting problem two 'well respected' OOF member suggested I 'floor the throttle' (cutting of the injectors) then turn the key and allow the engine to turn over for a few seconds.
Attempted this six times, every time the engine "fires" and would of reved it's boll---- off.
Question: Is this itself a fault, maybe an insight into the 'starting problem'
Please help, it's driving me mad, engine never been run smoother. :-/

Omega General Help / What to use to clean
« on: 27 February 2010, 18:21:07 »
Just been over to see Lee (welung666) to get two 'bonnet stays' which he also fitted, good deal, no more broom stay.
I think Lee may of solved the 'starting problem' which has bugged the omega since the 'cam belt was changed.
Question now, what should be used to 'really' clean the 'air intake temp sensor', as a finger clean has made a difference.
Many thanks Lee

Sorry, not sure where to put this, I tend to speak as I find, Tony at Wheels in Motion for setting up the Omega's tracking, castor, camber etc great.

My 2.5 v6 Omega starts on the "second" turn of the key 90% of the time.
What could cause the problem, everything else is fine.
