Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Omega 2.5TD Glow Plugs
« on: 29 April 2014, 21:19:11 »
Hi Guys

I'm not on my own am I, nobody out there ever performed a test to see how long the glow plugs stay on for on a cold engine.

I'm assuming there must be something on the car that decides when to turn them off, any ideas?
I'm fitting new plugs, just want to make sure every thing else is in order.

Colour sounds about right, sort of charcoal grey I was going to send you a picture showing the shape of it, but I don't know how to load one up on this site, that's if the site allows, unless of course you could post one of yours.

Failing that the front of mine is wide at the top and tapers towards the bottom, I take it the fixing lugs are ok and cassette and CD flaps work ok

Thanks again

Clive

Hi Jonny

Thanks for your reply, don't suppose you could post a link or tell me how I can find the fix you referred to, I'm hopeless  when trying to search for stuff.

Cheers

Hi Guys

Does anyone happen to have the front for a CCR 2006 radio they want to sell, I'm after one which is all black not grey and black.
I don't care if the radio or CD works as long as the flap where CD's and cassettes go in work, as I can cannibalize everything else off my existing one.

There are 4 grub screws which are used just to plug the holes where the removal pins (wires) push in and when the radio is out the front is held onto the chassis with 4 screws, haven't I manage to break the 4 plastic lugs where these screws fit.

Cheers

Clive

Hi Guys

Can anyone clue me up, I'm going to stick some new glow plugs in my Omega, all the plugs are out of the car at the moment and I've done a voltage check between the end of the wires where it connects onto each glow plug and I'm getting a reading of just over 12 volts for each of them, the connection last for 16 seconds and then cuts off.

Question: Is this normal or should it remain on for longer if the engine is cold.

I'm comparing it with an Isuzu Trooper and they glow for up to 3 minutes if the engine is cold and is so specified in the workshop manual.

Thanks for your help

Clive

Hi Guys

Can anyone suggest which is the best glow plug to put in the Omega 2.5TD.

NGK, Bosch, Denso or Beru unless of course there are better ones, I'm after something where the tip doesn't drop off into the engine if you get my drift, I'm also after the inlet manifold gasket set so if anyone knows of sites where the prices are reasonable please don't hesitate to let me know.

Cheers

Omega General Help / It's just all Torque
« on: 04 July 2012, 23:04:44 »
Hi Guys

Does anyone out there know what torque setting the two halves of a fuel injector should be tightened up to on an Omega 2.5DT.
I don’t mean the torque for tightening to the cylinder head, only one of mine seems to be leaking at the point where they join and I understand they are just an metal to metal joint ie. no compound and non sealing washer.

Cheers

Hi dbug

The first part of my name is true the rest of it is a nom de plume  :), having watched Ice Road Truckers on the ledge I don't think I'd fancy living in India, actually I'm living on the same island as yourself in sunny Staffordshire  ;D

The link that you gave me, what can I say absolutely brilliant, I have to say it takes me right back to when Haynes Manuals used to have exploded views and cut through views in them or better still the old Ex Works Manuals which car owners could buy.
I think I've still got some kicking around on the A55 Cambridge and the Hunter Range of cars (Humber Sceptre Etc).

Can I ask where did you manage to find the pdf on the engine if your at liberty to say.
They say you can find out how to make a bomb on the internet, I'm hopeless at trying find anything.

Thanks again for your help

Hi Guys

Below is a copy of an e-mail which I sent to manualenquiry@haynes.co.uk together with their reply which I received on 28th June 2012.


Hi

Can you help me please, I've been told that you market a manual which covers the  M51 engine which is a 6 cylinder 2.5TD, which I understand is fitted in the BMW 525TD, the Range Rover P38TD and my own car which is a Vauxhall Omega 2.5TD.

If so where can I order one from and what is the ISBN for it?

Many thanks

Clive


Dear Clive,

Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding a Service and Repair Manual for your Omega. I have spoken to our Technical department and they have informed me the we unfortunately do not produce a Manual for this particular engine and we have no plans to do so within the next 12-18 months.

However, all of our customer requests are recorded and used in the decision making process of future Manual publications/updates.

You could try contacting your local dealer to see if he can be of assistance or looking on the internet at any owners forums.

I am sorry for any inconvenience.

Kind regards

Elaine Sparkes

I've just sent them a message, guess its a case of waiting now, if they do one and I can get hold of the ISBN I'll post it on here.

Cheers

Omega General Help / Haynes Manual
« on: 27 June 2012, 22:23:55 »
Hi Guys

Can anyone help me out here please, I’ve got an Omega 2.5TD year 2000 and I understand they have BMW engines in them as standard.
I’ve been told that Haynes does a manual which at least covers the BMW engine, which I understand is an M51 and the year would be 1993-4 to 2001 N reg – X reg.

Question can someone possible tell me what the ISBN number is for this particular manual as I’m having difficulty in finding it.

Many thanks

Clive
