Omega General Help / Re: Petrol Pump Filter in TANK
« on: 15 February 2023, 23:03:03 »
Might put a new pump in, has anybody removed the Fuel Tank Level sensor from the bottom/side of the swirl pot base. Or, how do I get the swirl pot base out without cracking or braking the plastic pot?
The petrol pump plastic support is removed! its just the cup, for a better word which is left in?
thankyou

Hi Doc
the pump is already out, so not slap required and I tested the pump with a battery, but of course it could be starting to fail. Is there no resistance check I can do on the PUMP?. Good point on the hoses, need to check them.
On the diagram that Dave the builder linked me too, I said I didn't think any of the three were mine. But, on a second look I think mine is no 3 out of the selection.
The GM code for that on the linked doc is GM Part No:90509674 / serial no:90466019

Thankyou for the response's to my message
On "Tank filter is gauze, just remove and clean"
I did that and damaged the gauze, that's why I thought I had better get a new one! and there was minimal amount of debris in the swirl pot.
On "How much fuel? /1. It will be stale. / 2. Less than a quarter/third and it won't start unless the car is level."
It was a low tank when I parked it up - on red, so I put £25 in, the Swirl pot was well over half full when I opened up the tank, so the Pump was well below that level, even on the ramps!
(I did put Petrol can of fuel in before i drove it to the Petrol Garage to fill)
On ",the in line filter protects everything up stream (injectors etc )
you should check fuel pressure, could be bad fuel, partly collapsed fuel line , pump about to die, fuel pressure regulator ,bad injector, the in line filter etc, or the poor idle could be something else unrelated to fuel delivery"
Appreciate the CLICKY LINK too. The 3 Pumps in the Link Diagram don't look the same as mine?
Appreciate all these comments, thank you, once i put the Pump and Filter back and replace the inline filter I will check the other suggestions.
Here's my Fuel Pump info if that means anything to anyone? Maybe I should buy a new fuel pump, did test it with battery and it worked, is there any resistance reading on the pump I should check?

From cross referencing some info on ebat, I came up with this oem no: 90442402 (is it right?)
thanks Vauxsky

Omega General Help / Petrol Pump Filter in TANK
« on: 15 February 2023, 00:23:35 »
Hi, my Elite has been standing for 4 years, was running perfectly before I left it to sit. Turned her over last week and she started in within 20 seconds. Left her to run for about 10 minutes before I moved her, then stuck her on ramps to adjust the handbrake. She continued to run for about half an hour. Washed her down, she didn't look bad, turned her off and returned the next day.
Turned her over, but didn't start up as quick as the previous day, took about 5 minutes, she started and then I noticed she wanted to die on idle, so i kept my foot on the throttle until she was warmed up. It looked like she was going to be ok then after about 10 minutes she stalled, then wouldn't start again.
She's got fuel in the tank.
As she had been standing so long i thought I would check the Fuel Pump filter(in the tank) and for rust. It appears ok, hardly any particle of debris in the swirl pot, bottom of Petrol Pump. The Petrol Pump filter, some of the gauze looked clogged, so I blew it out with a light air line but I think I've damaged it.
Anyone know the Omega B Part number, went into Vauxhall Parts today and the bloke said Id be lucky to find one of them new(Forgot to ask him for the OE number). He also seemed to think that Petrol was so clean today, that I didn't need a new filter. I have a new in line Fuel filter so Ill put that on and see what happens, but I would like to put a new Fuel Pump filter back if i can find one.
If anyone has any ideas where I can get one, great thanks in advance.

Hi Ron,
thanks for the reply, you are about 1 1/2 hours from me, I suppose we should establish if it will work. I am sure someone must know if its compatible.
Mine is a 1998 Elite 2.5 and yours is 2003 Face-lift, can anyone tell us if these are compatible CD players. I will see if I can get any pictures of my connections on here for you to look at.
regards dave

Hi Guys,
I think my CDC2 has finally given up to the ghost, water appears to have dripped from the boot hinge into the player. Any players out there available that we can connect to the Vaux system. Or, there were other similar units made for other vehicle types, would they be adaptable ?
My unit has the following numbers:

Type: CDC2

Omega General Help / Heater Matrix Blow out
« on: 31 July 2016, 22:11:07 »
Hi, I have just had a Heater Matrix blow out going down the M1 at 70 miles an hour. At first I thought a wasp had gone down my Doc Martins boots, it was f***ing painfull. I pulled over to the hard shoulder to see what the problem was, and then I could see the coolant in the foot well. My mate recons the pressure temperature was probably at 100 degrees C when it hit the side of my leather boot, if it had gone direct to the skin it would have burnt my ankle to the bone.
As you may be aware you cannot see the Matrix due to the dash/facia, its hidden, although if you remove the centre consul you can just see the two aluminium pipes that connect to it. I could not tell whether the seals had broken, there did not seem very much coolant at these pipe connections.
I have just finished removing the whole dash/facia, I can see coolant along the lower side of the Matrix, so I'm presuming its blown - enjoyable job, will put some pictures up for you to see when I'm done.
Here's my first question if somebody could advise, what is the OEM manufacture of the Heater Matrix for the Omega, mine a 1998 Elite 2.5 V6, as I'm going to buy and put a new one in. After taking the dash/facia out its the least I want to do.
Cheers for any feed back.

Omega General Help / Re: Tracking and Camber adjustment
« on: 13 June 2016, 14:00:35 »Hi, I know there are a lot of discussions and topics on this subject.
I have taken my car to two or three garages over the past 10 years, but just like every other garage, when you start asking and trying to discuss technical information, there's a shut down in two way conversation.
* What's first the tracking or the Camber adjustment
* Can I see the angles on the computer please before adjustment, can you explain what's what.
* Which side needs adjustment
* What bolts on the strut are you going to undo, top or bottom
* How are you going to do the bolts up? Haynes manual Stage 1/stage 2
*** I had to change a strut 6 months after an adjustment, and when I cam to undo the Strut bolts, they had not been done up properly. Enough to suggest that overtime the camber would move.*********
Any one know of the FREE CHECK garage before you decide to have the camber done - AREA M25 Junction 19 25mile Radius?
cheers for any suggestions welcome

Omega General Help / Re: Rear Window loose on Omega B Saloon
« on: 31 May 2016, 10:51:51 »
Thank you for the reply's
Its now been "GLUED" back in with new Rubber trim, fitted by Autoglass - cost £126 (Remove and Fit with new rubber Trim, which fits from sides to top only. Bottom has standard plastic trim for Rubber trim to clip into, which was still ok. The glass and car window aperture were cleaned, window - all old rubber removed from it, but on the aperture he used a blade to remove most, but there was still remnants of old rubber left, obviously he did not want to scrape pain off.
A black primmer was put onto the window and body aperture , then the glue was put on the window aperture only, about 1/2" high in the shape of a triangle, all round. Glass then fitted-laid onto glue, he didn't even push it down, it found its own level. He said it goes off in an hour, don't drive with windows open for a day, it looks a professional job, cant tell the difference, great job.
Did get quotes starting at £70, but ?
*Haven't done the water test yet
* I did remove all inner trim from inside, the parcel shelf and disconnected the heated rear screen, had to bend tangs slightly.
