wow speedy reply, yes i guess it was a breather pipe that i used to remove.

Where would i find the ICV ? if it is accessable i have no problem in removing it to clean it.

i will look at the breather cleaning guide.

Thanks

Omega General Help / Wont Tick Over
« on: 11 December 2009, 11:46:34 »
Hi all

it has been a long time since i posted on here (good i guess)

Car is an Omega B estate 2.0l 16v LHD (German) 1996. (pre face lift)

It is running like a dream on motor ways etc... apart from in the last week it is having problems ticking over. It started with the revs dropping to about 500 at traffic lights and was lumpy. but now it stalls on me when i dip the clutch approching the lights, i now have to toe and heel it whilst at the lights which as you can guess is a pain.

In the past the revs have sat at 2000 sometimes when i have left the moter way and sitting at the lights, to solve this i used to remove a thin black plastic pipe from a round disk affair near the top of the engine and then reconnect it, this seemed to solve this problem, but as it was not very often i did not worry too much about it.

So any ideas as to where i start to fix this problem,

Thanks in advance

Omega General Help / Break pads (Warning)
« on: 18 October 2008, 12:02:26 »
Hi all

Ok i had to get the car MOT'ed this week, a few things needed doing first so i took it along to my local mechanic.

The car needed 4 new break disks and pads aswell as the handbreak shoes and assembally, also some bushes at the front suspension needed replaceing (the car was knocking a fair bit just from normal driving) at first i thought that the exsorst was loose, so all this work plus the Mot cost me just under 500 quid (which i think is a fair price)
But since the work has been done, when starting the car i get the breakPads warning come up on the onboard display, this i can get rid of just by pressing the button on the stalk, but the CHECK warning stays on. Has he forgot to put the sensor cable back into the new pads or does the computer need to be told that it has new pads, there was no warning that the pads were gone before the work was carried out, shall i just pop back to him to sort it out, or is it easy enough for me to do?

Thanks

Tony

Hi all

Just an update on this, i brought a new temp sensor for the car this week whilst i was away, just got back home now, connected the sensor up and all is ok again, temp works as normal and the display goes out when i turn the ignition off.

Thanks for all the help and advice.

regards

Tony

It is a non standard radio in the car, which has been in about 4 months now the radio before that was also non standard which was in about 18 months, but the problem with the display only started this weekend.
I will not be back on here until Friday afternoon now as i work away from home. I have disconnected the battery for now, so it does not go flat.

Regards

Hi

Sorry for for being dumb, but i have just had a look for it and can't really see anything at all that could be the sensor, do i have to remove anything to gain access to it?

Cheers

Omega General Help / O-B Computer display: Staying on

Hi all

Today my outside temp readings were all over the place eg... starting of at what i guess was the correct temp then just counting it self down  by a half degree at a time down to -7.5°, so i guess that the temp sensor needs replacing, well that is what i thought, but now the computer display will not turn off when i lock up and leave the car, it is still lite up like a christmas tree (in a dark car) for the last hour or so.

Any ideas ?

Omega General Help / Where is my Radio Antenne
« on: 15 December 2007, 10:04:57 »
Hi all

Been a while since i have been here Good thing i guess, car has been running fine.

The car is a 1995 Opel Omega 2.0l CD Estate (German Left Hand Drive)
Now since i have been lending the car to my brother inlay my radio reception is a big fat ZERO, i have bought a new radio and it is still ZERO reception, now the car does not have a external antenne on it, so i am guessing that it is in-bedded in either the front or rear screens, i can not see any sign of it on the windscreen, but not really sure what i am looking for, so i think that it maybe in with the heated rear screen. I can not see any damage to the element in the rear screen and the heated screen works perfectly.
 ;)So if it is in bedded in one of the screens could you please confirm which one, so i know which one will accidentally get a stone flicked up at it from another car, or Vandals throwing stones at it, in which case i will be needing a new screen from the insurance ;)

Or any other ideas less drastic.

Thanks

Tony
