Was it running OK on gas afterwards?

it seems to me like the fault in the water circulation didnt allow the vapouriser to work normally
perfect job Lee

Yep, he has indeed!
I gotta tell you guys: I'would've scrapped that car few times now, if there was no OOF
But each time I'm about to lose all hope, Yoda's words pop into my mind: "No... There is another... <hope>"
... and then I visit OOF and life becomes good again!

Omega General Help / AC, Heating, matrix - OOF helped!

Sorry for posting it here, but I had to:)
Yey!!!!!
Huuuurrrraaaayyyy!
Gues what? If anyone else near Brum has heating issues, PM Wellung666 and he'll save you from doom (and your car from scrapping) !!!!
Lee has pulled all the pipes out (there were like million of them), flushed the damn thing, connected it all back and 10 minutes later the temp inside was like the one you have on Carabbean!!!
Plus I've finally learnt what does that mean to "flush" the matrix and how all that mess really connects together.
THANKS A LOT MATEY (and I'll probably see you soon with the exhaust thingy:) )
Also great thanks to Entwood, RobG, Lazydocker and anyone who pointed me in the right direction!
OOF rulezzz:)

yeah... more than enough room
by what I've been through tonight it seems to me that I'd be better off trying to get there from underneath

When it comes to LPG - yes, it's been runnig fine, but recently the engine started to switch itself off, once I try to accelerate rapidly and the engine's still not warmed up. It never happened before.

Omega General Help / Heating/AirCon problem

« on: 11 January 2010, 21:35:52 »

Hi all.
I'm coming back to you guys ith my AirCon prob, as I've done the vac pipe test and here what are the results:
1. theres no water comin from the HBV vac pipe hole - which is a good sign
2. there was some heat comin on, but only if I keep the engine on the high revs
3. Entwood suggests, that this could be "a reverse flush of the heater matrix", but first I'd need to check if the rest of the HBV pipes are warm or cold. The unfortunate is, that the HBV location is slightly different (less visible and accessable) than shown on the guide.

any other ideas please ??

Right
Pressing OFF and Auto gives no change, but hey, I've found this on the net
http://www.vauxhallownersnetwork.co.uk/showthread.php?202901-Omega-HBV-Problem

The question I have is where are the matrix and another valve inside the car located? I checked the location described in the post, but found no valve or anything like it

Tried that already and it does nothing
Also could anyone tell me what does the manual mean by saying:
"Do not cover over the air vents when storing
items in the luggage compartment storage
compartments."
Where are those located in the boot?
