Omega General Help / Re: 2.6 ps pump part number
« on: 11 February 2018, 18:01:08 »
would replace it, should not let the power steering pump be low as it will overheat, can even fragment and get into the steering and then you would need to replace or repair this part as well.

found this online
Year: 1995-1998: Engine code: X20XEV: Engine size: 1998ccm: Power:100kw: Compression: 12.0-15.0bar: Minimum compression: 9.0bar: Fuel system
Year: 1998-2000: Engine code: X20XEV: Engine size: 1998ccm: Power:100kw: Idle speed: 730-960rpm: Compression: 12.0-15 .0bar: Fuel system.
so must be in the right ballpark now.

Thanks will ask him to have a look. had to change the adjuster screw as it had broken off on the adjuster part. but when he had it out it was idling at 430 but did not sound right to him so put it up. he coming round later as just been on the phone with him. Thanks Doctor Gollum

Omega General Help / Re: Is there a fuel return Check Valve on a 2001 2.2 Omega
« on: 09 February 2018, 09:18:32 »
check the fuel line in the tank from the pump, they can split or crack up this will give you low pressure and would just leak back into the take with no leakes of fuel anywhere. there is 2 rubber pipes in the tank that feed to the top pipe then to the filter and so on.

well i'm back now. that was fun. still no joy. more tablets. pain is better anyway, have another set of blood tests in 6 weeks to see if the meds is working any better. My friend was not able to do the fuel filter as he said it was to wet to get under to do it. but he has cleaned out the intake the idle control valve. said he removed it all and cleaned it all out and looks like new. will be nice to have a look when im feeling ready to. also changed the screw on the adjuster. and set idle to 800 rpm with all electrics on, and 930-960 with no drain. don't know if that right but said its stable. but he did not know what the idle was supposed to be. he said he checked it in the morning on a cold start and it was 1200 and after about 3-4 min it dropped down to 930 is that right ? cannot wait to get out and have a look. but will be at least a week.

well the hole engine has changed no rocking idles steady, and hardly any gray smoke. were as be for with the pipe on or of it was the same engine speed, now had to drop the idle/throttle screw, as think it most of been gone a while and they just screwed it up to get the reves. but it runs a lot better now went for a drive and no problems even went up the hill 30% incline with no trouble. 
, so get the filter changed tomorrow and it should all be good. its nice stopping at the traffic lights and not seeing the gear stick wiggling all over the place and pulling off with out a drop in power then speeding up its a lot more responsive.
