Maybe a FAKRA-connector would fit.

Check out this, I have done it on both of my cars with LED's in the fog lights.

This way they turn on when ignition is on and goes off when parking light is on. Then they works as they do from factory, you can turn the fog lights on again when parking light is on.

You can lift of the cover (with the drive letters) to the center console and down there to the front of the lever is a yellow tab that will release the gear lever.

Here you have a complete list of paint codes. This is for Opel so the names could be different from German, but the code should be the same.
A lot of other facs as well.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Change ECU for igniton Siemens omega B 2.0 16V

« on: 09 April 2020, 07:04:31 »

You need all this plus the ECU. If not you need to reprogramming the ECU

All these parts interact with each other as the anti-theft system. And the ECU will not let the car start if any of the parts in the picture isn't "known" by the ECU

Omega General Help / Re: 2.5 V6 Coolant Transfer Pipe

« on: 01 April 2020, 08:28:43 »

Ask them to try SAAB numbers, they are the same seals but different part numbers. My Opel/SAAB dealer got me them that way.

It should be SAAB #9129999

How are things going in your part of the world Jan. I hear that Sweden are trying a different approach to the rest of Europe regarding the virus. Stay safe.

Yes we did it differently, they get a lot of flak for this approach and we will see if it is good. Biggest problem for us is the total lack of resources. During the cold war we had 60 military field hospitals, now we only have two. All medical supplies are in the "Just-In-Time" supply chains and much is imported so that supply chain is more or less broken.

Business going belly up, but that's the same everywhere.

Myself I live out in the country side and are more or less always self isolated, working from home anyway, so for me it isn't much difference. Wife is retired and we live a relaxed life normally. Going for groceries you have to be more careful of course.

Omega General Help / Re: Remote to centrallocking fail

« on: 30 March 2020, 08:51:55 »

Hi Ingmar,

If I was you I would change all the locks to that you get a key that works in the door as well.

Are you a member on the Swedish Opel group on Facebook? You will find people there who scrap cars now and then and you could get a complete lock set there.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/549130185122876/

I don't know if the Facelift locks fit on your car but if the do I have a complete setup with locks and the electronics that goes with it and with an ECU for V6 (you need tha tone too). If the ECU isn't correct you will need to reprogram yours to fit the new stuff.

Omega General Help / Re: Android Head Unit

« on: 30 March 2020, 08:44:50 »

Yes I have fitted several such units from Eonon
https://www.eonon.com/Android-Car-GPS/2-Din-GPS-Navigation.html



They can also use the steering wheel controls, there is an app with the unit that let you set up what the buttons on the steering wheel should do on the unit.

If your car has navigation control you can use the original GPS-antenna but you need a cable adapter for that, see this:
http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=143730.msg1879633#msg1879633

They also have Bluetooth to give you handsfree.

To give more room for the cables I have cut the units cable and the Omega radio adapter cables and soldered them back together. The space behind is limited.

Take a look here, they have good stuff and now offer LED's for Low Beam with Projector lenses.
I have bought my LED's from this place.

You have to pay for good stuff. £85 is about SEK1000

In Germany it would have catched at least £1000 more.

Low milage 3.2L V6 is sought after among the Omega crowd.

Well you should try to wiggle loose the transfer pipe before you unbolt the thermostat housing. It usually come off after a while. O-rings on it must be replaced. It also helps if you remove the engine lift loop that is taking up some space there.

The reason LED retrofitting doesn't work is plain geometry.

The reflector and shield in low beam has its geometry set up for a normal bulb where the source of light comes from the center. With LED's the source of light is off center and the reflector isn't constructed for that and you get a light beam that goes all over the place.

I have run with Low beam LED's on my Omega and it get a bright white light. In this case this car has H7/H1 bulbs, no XENON, so it was an easy fit. For High beam I also have LED's and they give a very good bright light and reaches far longer than the standard Halogen bulbs.

I have high quality LED's that cost around €100 for a pair and they have built in fans.

New cars with LED's have a proper reflector made for LED's
