Omega General Help / couple of issues with my cdx

« on: 15 December 2008, 22:55:45 »

first as its damn cold the heated front seats ( i am sure this has been asked millions of times) my car came with the velour trim and after a while both front heated seats stopped working, didn't think much of it as i was going to bung some leather in. which i did from an r reg car (mine is t) and niether front seats are working on these either seams odd to me as i can't rind a fuse blown and the rears work fine!!

secondly the car seams to want to decide its own idle speed, when its just started idles fine at about 900rpm but then drops after a min to 400-600 rpm. i have unplugged the idle speed valve before now and it will then idle fine??? does that mean its goosed?

cheers

Omega General Help / Dual mass flywheel

« on: 31 December 2007, 20:29:29 »

Hello all, I have been registered on here a few months and have pillaged the "how to's" which are fantastic and by far the best I have seen on any site. I am usually frequent astra-mk2.com for my track car.

The problem is that my car (2.5 v6 manual T reg) started to not move when in gear when pulling away from just rolling, for instance at a roundabout. The clutch release bearing has been noisy the whole time I have owned the car and had got much worse. So I assumed it was that sticking so took the gearbox off today and yes the bearing is goosed but I have the honour (or not) of having a dual mass flywheel. When I grabbed it to check it was tight the two halves would move by about 3-4 inches of play. Which to me seams far too much and possibly the cause of the original problem.

Is this too much play for the flywheel (I have never had a car with a dual mass before)

Cheers all, and a Happy New Year
John
