Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Tow bar wiring plug
« on: 25 May 2007, 15:45:51 »
I'm fitting a towbar to my 2003 Estate and having a few problems with Vx parts Dept. I've found the fitted plug for the 12N wiring socket behind the jack in the wheel well but does anyone know the part number I require.

The parts dept kept telling me I needed 91128944 which is for the 12S socket. I think I need 9193983 for the 12N but they said that's not for my car.

And do i really need the check control ? (90513262)

Cheers
Pete

Omega General Help / Cambelt change darn sarf...
« on: 16 April 2011, 08:45:17 »
I'm soon to need a cambelt and water pump change but live in Kent most of the guys doing belt changes live quite far away from here, is there anyone wanting or willing to do the job ?

I have done mine before at 40k but borrowed the locking kit off another member who's long gone. I did have the DVD somewhere but probably lost it..

I'm willing to travel if necessary.

Unless there's a anyone else in the area who also needs a cambelt done and we can have a cambelt meet down south...

Changed the spark plugs on my facelift today when I took the nearside coil pack off I found this





Looks like water has got into the spark plug holes, not sure how it got there, it was completely dry in there, maybe it had been jet washed at some time ?

Any ideas?

Not sure if the coil pack will need replacing at some point.

Omega General Help / Hows the oil level dip pipe held in place ?
« on: 27 February 2009, 19:32:44 »
Just changed my thermostat, what a bugger that is, high on the awkward list..

Anyway I unbolted the mounting for the oil level dip tube but I've now dropped/lost the bolt and mounting for it, I'm not sure how it fixes to the engine mount bracket. I know there is a second hole in the bracket but now the linking pipe is back in place the hole isn't accessible.

Does the pipe clamp to the mounting bracket ? Unfortunately at the time I just couldn't see what was there. All done with feel..

At the moment I've cable tied it in place because I assume it only pushes down into the sump and its only that bolt to stop it coming out.

Oh, and the temp now climbs up the gauge, it didn't before, especially in the cold weather we've been having.

Omega General Help / Thermostat change
« on: 03 October 2008, 09:04:46 »
Now we've had a spell of colder weather I've noticed the temp gauge hardly moves off its stop for a good few miles, thinking probably the thermostats jammed.

Is there (couldn't find one) a 'how to' in the maintenance section, if not what have I got to remove to get to it.. And where is it ?

Omega General Help / another auto gearbox problem
« on: 15 January 2008, 21:10:31 »
Twice in the last week my gearbox has gone into default mode (spanner on dash light up) drops into third. I happens just as the box changes up into 4th, the first time it went with a slight clunk but the next time it appeared to change up as usual but just after the box went intro default mode.

Fault clears after stopping car and turning off engine

Can the box be read with a Tech2 and is there anyone local to me in Kent with one.

I wasn't expecting problems with a 2003 facelift with only 42k on the clock.

It appears to work ok the rest of the time.

Omega General Help / Omega won't start, not CPS
« on: 23 July 2007, 18:39:33 »
Hi

Just pulled into my local Vx dealers to pick up some brake pads, started car to come home and car stalled. Car will turn over but there's no lights on the dash, all the other accessories work, lights, wiper, radio etc just the dash lights are out.

I've left it with the dealers but it was at the end of the day and they we just locking up.

Any ideas what the problem could be, will I get fleeced :-(

Omega General Help / Cam belt Kit part No. query
« on: 13 June 2007, 16:09:11 »
Hi

I've ordered a Cam belt kit from my local dealer with the part number 93188674

I've been watching the excellent DVD about changing the cam belt and it mentions the early backing plate with tensioner having a EB and the later ones 01 marking.

Just checked mine and its got an EB marking, this is supposed to be for a 3.2 2003 Elite Estate.

Does anyone know if this is correct ? I've got a feeling they have supplied the wrong one.

Omega General Help / Headlamp adjustment for Europe
« on: 27 May 2007, 22:35:07 »
I know you can adjust the halogen headlamps for driving in Europe with a lever behind the lamp cover but does the HID headlamps have the same sort of adjustment lever. There's' nothing in the Vauxhall handbook.

Omega General Help / Stalling V6
« on: 01 May 2007, 10:23:19 »
I have an Omega 3.0 lt which has started to stall/cut out on tickover. This is a pain when approaching junctions etc. Checked out and cleaned the ICV. It only appears to do it when the cars been running for some time and warmed up. Other times it runs ok. It will restart ok but is a pain to drive because you need to hold the throttle open to keep the engine running above tickover RPM

I have recently changed the alternator belt which obviously required removing the air intakes, I was suspecting an air leak somewhere but can't find one anywhere.

Could there be a problem with the throttle position sensor ? What sort of faults does that throw up.

Any other ideas ?

Hi

Took the Omega to Morzine in the Alps for a bit of Mountain biking and road riding, went with 9 others. Did about 1200 miles at about 25 mpg, 4 up fully loaded.

Car didn't miss a beat.
