Omega General Help / Rear diff oil change

« on: 13 May 2011, 01:13:20 »

Hi all,
I have just done my rear diff pinion seal and topped the oil up by the plug at the side i pumped it in out of the bottle.  My question is should i have had only one side of the car up and done it that way only i did it while it was still on both ramps and just pumped it in till it started to come out of the hole and then just popped the plug back in and did it up. :-/ :-/   Any advice please peeps.

Omega General Help / Still not going my way

« on: 26 February 2010, 21:38:12 »

Well as some of you guys know i was having trouble with bleeding my cooling system up so after it now being weeks and weeks since i have been able to use the car with one thing then another (waiting for parts so on) i got p****ed of with getting no where with the cooling system that i booked in at the garage to do cause i thought it must be somthing i'm doing wrong anyway they have told me it looks like the heater pump that goes under the top hose of the rad is faulty there is no power to it and its not working when 12v is put to it.....I never even knew what that was let alone what it does any body any ideas or had trouble with this in the haynes manual it says its an auxiliary coolant pump?? Good news is that i have bled up the coolant system o.k with no air locks apparently..
I'm not impressed with this any more at all.

Right fellas fitted new stat and flushed the heater matrix dropped the water out of the rad and flushed that out too. They have been backed flushed....Refilled with water and run the car the heaters started to get so that was great took it round the block heaters o.k and then went cold...Got back they went warm and thencold again seemed to get hot as i rev'ed it abit but i'm lost have tryed to see if there is an air lock by unsrewing the bottle cap...The fan's are kicking in at the right temp and the car temp is sitting around 90 .. 95 ish....I'm getting fed up now had no car for 2 weeks having to wait for part and now this rather thing.......

Omega General Help / Help please bad running v6

« on: 04 December 2009, 19:11:05 »

I did the cam covers earlier in the year but i did not use the o.e.m ones so you gussed it they went so last week got one side for vaxuhall and put it on the drivers side as that was the worst leak....checked to see if the passenger side was leaking and you gussed it it was.  So i cleaned all the plugs and leads and rebuilt it (so i could go order the other side gasket) when i finished and started the car it ran like a bag of crap sounds like only running on 5 cylinders not 6 but no fault codes i stripped off the plenum again check the leads and rebulit no change....So i got the other side and did that yesterday and checked everthing over and rebulit double checking as i went started the car and still no change. So i left it and went out to it again today striiped it and  fitted new plugs rebuilt and got no change but got a fault code 93 hall sensor voltage high (what ever the hell that means ?).

So i stripped it down again fitted new leads only because i had them anyway and was going to fit them at some point.....rebuilt it and started now i have got fault codes 93...73 (Mass Air Flow Sensor Voltage Low) and 57 (Idle Air Control Voltage Low).

Now i'm stuck not sure were to look or what to look at.
Please anybody any idea's.

I want to hit it with a large hammer but that would only cost me more.
HHHelp please........

Omega General Help / I think i'm a fool

« on: 17 May 2009, 19:28:25 »

I have cleaned my leads and plugs and got the oil out of the plug wells and the cam cover gaskets have been replaced (witch was the root cause of the problem) to try and stop what sounds to be a misfire but still not cleared up but i will admit i did not change the o'rings to the plenum chamber and the seals to the inlet to the engine v if that makes sence.

So am i a fool should i have changed these and could this be my problem cause after i cleaned up the plus and leads. It seems a lot better but still not right and when i did the paper clip test one of the codes i got was 19 Incorrect RPM Signal

Omega General Help / Accelerator cable

« on: 16 May 2009, 20:01:25 »

Just rebuilt the plenum chamber up and put the accelerator cable on and i carn't remember were the push on h looking clip went (how far up or down the cable if you get my drift) on. Is this just an adjustment clip for the pedal or somthing else.

Think i have sorted my misfire anyway cleaned all the plus and inside the leads with ipa and all seem's fine will take it for a ggood run later.
