Omega General Help / Vacuum to HBV
« on: 03 May 2025, 22:15:42 »
Hi guys,
i have an Omega B2 2.6 V6 elegance, with some issue. So, when i bought a car in 2023 i asked my mechanic to replace the cooler matrix, he did it, everyone is happy. The AC was bad (no gas), so when the temperature is rised around 30°c it was awful to drive long trips because of the heat. But then i noticed something: the whole dashboard is getting hot, and its radiating the heat into the air, and there is a gap next to the accelerator pedal where hot air blowing to my feet. So then, i asked about it, in the hungarian forums and some people told me, maybe my mechanic forget to put some gasket in place, so the heat of the heater matrix can leak into the cabin. Now the AC is ok, its blowing cool air from the vents, but the heat is still the problem.
I read about the HBV what is control the hot coolant to go to the heater matrix or not. If i understand, the coolant always going into the heater matrix, only not, if the ac not in eco mode, and the temp is set to low. Then the climate control opens some vacuum valve and the HBV close, and there is no more coolant flow to the matrix. IN THEORY...
I changed the HBV... I dont know much about vacuum systems. Where can i "steal" some vacuum to shut the HBV?I find this picture about Y26SE vacuum system
but i dont sure where can i cut the line, put a T in it, and test the HBV, and this theory of mine... (sry for bad english solutions
)

Omega General Help / Which oil for V6?
« on: 24 February 2025, 13:36:46 »
Hi guys,
when i dont use the car for 1 or 2 days when i start it, i hear some lifter clicking for around 1 sec, and the lifters go silent.
I always used 10w40 semi-synthetic mobil1 oil. The hungarian omega group said, 5w30 is better for it, maybe prevents clicking too. Should i change?

Omega Gallery / The Piglet finally badgeless!
« on: 12 August 2024, 14:36:36 »
Hi guys!
I have the car more than one and a half year, and since day one i was looking after a badgeless front mask, and i finally found a used one with a hefty price around 109 GBP (50000HUF in my balkanish country).
I need to get used to the new look, now i think the front is maybe too clean.

Newbie Welcome Area / Greetings from Hungary
« on: 19 July 2024, 18:14:03 »
Hi Guys, my name is Arnold. I have a Saloon Facelift 2.6 V6 Manual Omega from 2002. I bought it around one and a half year ago, and its still awesome to ride.
We had a little trip to the Nurburgring and the Opel factory in Rüsselsheim was in the way, so we make a little tour around it.
It was great, the car was stable, no issue at all, it just needed a little oil in his belly
(~0,6l 2500km)
I read this forum around when i started the looking for the car, and now i try to be more active in the forum.

Omega General Help / Heater bypass valve fail?
« on: 19 July 2024, 09:57:47 »
Hi guys,
i have a clue, maybe my heater always hot when the car is running because of the heater bypass valve is always 'open' so there is no vacuum. And its blowing hot air to my feet. So where can i find the HBV? I read some topic about it, they said its behind the glovebox, but i have an Opel Omega soooo i have the steering wheel in the normal position (on the left side), the HBV still behind the glovebox?
thx

Omega General Help / Something heats up the interior!
« on: 29 June 2024, 20:19:26 »
Hi guys!
I have a strange problem with the car. Fortunately not about the mechanical or engine things.
I noticed, when i going with the car, something blows hot air to my leg. Its not from the "pipe" where the "normal" air or AC air comes, its the left side from the gas pedal (its an opel, so there is a steering wheel is oppostite what you get used to).
The AC is blowing nice cold air, but at the same time the hot air is coming to my feet, and its heat up the entire dashboard. You can feel the radiating heat from it, and heats it up so it fight against the AC.
What could be wrong? When i dont blow air, and i turn on the inner circulation there is no hot air to my feet.
