Omega General Help / Re: Did the roof aerial change places with the DBW?

Is the radio aerial always in the rear screen on both saloons and estates?
AIUI there's a radio antenna amplifier. Where is it?

Omega General Help / Re: crank shaft sensor query.
« on: 06 December 2023, 15:05:29 »Apart from the 5 series and 3 series BMWs I had that I blew the engines of both then the Mk1 VW Scirocco remains the most unreliable car I've ever owned[and I've owned some real dogs] As for the cranks sensor I don't know part numbers or anything but I'd suggest the post above by Enceladus is slightly off as my 3L was registered March 2000 and is the full facelift version and that has an oval connector.
"Off". How so?
An oval connector is nearly certain on any 2000 V6 as you have confirmed. I don't know the year of Mutha Jugs n Speed's car, but unless it's one of the earliest Omegas, that pre-date MY 1997 and has a square connector, then the five spare 90492006 sensors he has won't fit.

« on: 05 December 2023, 15:19:55 »So apart from the 2.5, these aren't any good for the other V6's in the Omega range. And if I'm understanding this correctly. The 90540743 would be compatible with the rest of the V6's including the 3.0?
Likely depends on the model year of the 3.0. The Vauxhall/Opel EPC is unreliable for these sensors. The only way to be sure is to pull the sensor and check. You need a like for like replacement to match the version number of the installed Bosch ECU and there doesn't seem to be any published reference table. I suspect that any Model Year 1997 V6 2.5/2.6/3.0/3.2 is more likely to have 90540743.
Character V in position 10 of the VIN designates MY '97. Model Year is not the same as calendar year or registration year. MY '97 spec cars were first produced around August 1996. And it's entirely possible that model year '96 spec production overlapped for a while.
Unless your 3.0 is one of the first produced then I doubt if it has the oval connector on the loom.

There are three different crank sensors for the V6's. All three have different resistances.
90492006 is 550Ω. It has a square sided connector and most V6 cars have an oval sided loom connector. So it will fit in the block just fine but you can't connect it. And no, you can't just cut and splice splice the loom off your existing sensor because the resistance in the sensor head is incorrect. My guess is that these are early Calibra sensors.
90492061 is (circa) 720Ω is the early iteration of the oval connector sensor. Supposedly used on some early X25XE. Information on EPC is incorrect.
A 2.6/3.2 is much more likely to use 90540743 aka Bosch 0-261-210-131. The sensor head might also be stamped with a factory production number 90494182. Cadillac and Saab use the factory production part number, it's still the same Bosch 0-261-210-131. This sensor has an oval sided connector and a resistance of 900Ω.

Is there a GM part number and/or an Opel KAT number on the hose?
And does your car have the cold weather package?
Just trying to work out if your hose is the same as the standard model.
How is your connector broken? Last one I tried the collar was very difficult to move until I thoroughly cleaned it. If it's just the green locking ring then I understand that can be omitted?

Do you mean a spring host clamp that looks like this?.
