Omega Electrical and Audio Help / 2.0 1998 Estate no electric power at the fuel pump

« on: 30 October 2008, 17:55:43 »

help, my Omega always starts on the button 170,000 miles but this morning it would not start, it turns and turns I squirt some easy start down the air pipe and she will start but stop as soon as the easy start is burnt so the ignition looks ok so it looks like fuel. The AA man turned up this morning and said yes the electric pump isn't running but we can't find the pump relay or fuse. Can anyone help ?, this is an Estate so the fuel tank is different.

Kind regards

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Lights are on but no ones home :-) No Bong !

« on: 30 March 2007, 14:09:10 »

Hi,
2 weeks ago after a heavy downpour I noticed the passenger footwell was wet, when I turned on the heater fan you could hear a propeller sound splashing away under the dash. A quick look under the bonnet revealed the heater/pollen filter compartment full of water !!.  

After I unblocked the drain (full of leaves and Cr*p) and dried it all out, everything 'seemed' to work apart from the BONG,BONG,BONG warning when you leave the lights on and when I open the door nothing but complete silence, I still get the buzz sound if the key is left in so the door switch is working

Does anyone know where the klaxon is located please, and if it is on a fuse

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Lamp dangling in space !

« on: 12 January 2007, 23:45:39 »

Hi,
drivers side heater vent illumination, when I pulled off the half moon cover the light was dangling in mid air
any idea where it goes please. I have been to the breakers yards but none of them are a CD model or above so the controls are not illuminated.

Kind regards

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Programming Remote.

« on: 13 January 2007, 00:09:59 »

Hi,
Am I right in thinking the following
The fob needs to be reprogrammed for you car (By Vauxhall with the KEYPASS) BEFORE you can sync.
If you look in your Vauxhall folder you should find the Keypass (credit card size)check the manuals as some kind soul might have jotted them down
this will contain the key code i.e H1234
and the immobiliser code i.e. 1234
and your Radio Code i.e 1234
armed with this info you should be able to go to your local Vauxhall dealers get the fob programmed, and I am sure they will help you sync it up

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Seat Heater Relays & how to remove?

« on: 09 December 2006, 14:44:30 »

Hi,
the Haynes Manual 3510 (1994 - 1999 Omega) list a left hand relay and right hand relay for the seat heaters. My driver seat heater has failed does anyone know where these relays could be located.

Also how do you get the heater mats out ? I was at the breakers today and there is a nice elite saloon and it looks like the seats havent been touched ?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Cruise Control Part II

« on: 12 December 2006, 23:55:58 »

Hi,
Unit is in place, stalk is swapped still no cruise !, Just checked the brake switch 4 Cables coming out so thats correct. while I was poking my head up in the area of the brake pedal I spotted a relay strip with 1 Green relay fitted and a Black and white relay sockets empty.
Hhmm  :-?  could one of these be the mystery Cruise control relay as mentioned in Haynes manual ??.
Does anyone know what should go in these empty sockets please, I suspect 1 might be for the heater plugs for the diesel engine. I think my problem is I got the stalk and control unit off ebay so cannot confirm they work in the first place as I only have the sellers word that it was all working  
any assistance please ?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Philips/BOSE CCR800 & CD Changer install Help

« on: 06 December 2006, 17:56:54 »

The plot thickens even more  
I have just had a reply from this chap who is selling the same setup on ebay including the amp
if you look very carefully you can see the amp has a blue connector which is bundled into the loom and exits at the left of the grey connector



On mine the lefthand side is empty ?.


He has confirmed the small black connector plugs into the Disc changer

so on Friday after I have fitted the Cruise control and took loads of images
I will make a start on the connections and see if I can get the beast to work

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Air Bag Warning

« on: 18 October 2006, 07:54:19 »

Hi,
recently my 1998 2.0 CD kept cutting out at the lights, roundabouts or when coming to a stop. After I followed the excellent instructions for cleaning the idle valve this is now fixed  .
But during one of the numerous restarts the Air Bag warning light has tripped and now flashes off for a second on start and stays on  
This happend about a year ago and I took it to Vauxhall dealer who reset the lamp does one of you kind souls know if I can do this ?
Kind Regards

Omega General Help / Re: Changing front brakes

« on: 03 August 2009, 11:26:17 »

Twisting the piston !, I have used the G Clamp for many years and if you put the pad inside the piston it is impossible to twist as the pressure is central to the piston with pentitrating oil I have used the G Clamp to free up a 20 year old siezed piston now the spreader tool as it acts on the edge of the piston I have seen that tilt a piston over. Sorry that's my 10p's worth zero failure so far !

Go to a DIY place and Buy a G Clamp
http://www.toolpost.co.uk/pages/Woodworking_Tools/Clamps/G_Clamp.jpg and you will crank that piston back in  Don't forget to take the top off your resovoir and put some paper towl around the neck to absorb the excess
