Omega General Help / Re: Flushing Heater Matrix
« on: 07 March 2018, 13:30:17 »Try harder... They do stick a bit.
Just don't bend/snap the pipe in the process
Always a good idea :-)

Not as easy as it sounds :-(
Managed to get the clip released, but the pipe is not for coming off! :-(

Just need to try anything to get SOME heat. Not having a heater in the past 3 weeks has not been fun :-)
The matrix is the only thing left to try, so want to try flushing it before butchering the car to replace.

Omega General Help / Flushing Heater Matrix
« on: 06 March 2018, 20:25:33 »
I'm planning to flush my heater matrix on my 2.2 Petrol Omega.
I've got all the stuff suggested, ie hoses etc
I've read the articles in the maintanance section, but notice that after looking at numerous how to vids on youtube, they all suggest using 5/8" hose - (granted, they are all US vids).
The only hoses I have come across over here are 1/2" which i have 2 of.
Will this fit onto the connections to the matrix?
I don't want to start this and then find my hose won't fit.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

All happy again now :-)
Thanks everyone for your input..

Thx for the pic, but i don't think that's a 2.2.
I think it's from and older 2.0

Omega General Help / Dash Temp Gauge not working - HELP !!
« on: 08 April 2016, 17:47:55 »
My dash temp gauge has stopped working.
The car is running fine, so I'm assuming that the connector has come off the dashboard sensor and not the ecu sensor, as it was working until a friend was fiddling under the bonnet.
Does anyone have a diagram or pic of the general vicinity of where i can find the sensor.
I know it is at the back of the engine on the right, but need to know if there are any helpful landmarks to help me find the said sensor.
Engine is Z22XE.
Any help will be gratefully received.

Been driving round all day today without any codes or warning lights, so may have sorted itself out - HOPEFULLY :-)

Well, in reply to your 1st question: No and no
and in reply to the next question, i don't know - not being much help here, am i :-)
HOWEVER, we managed to clear those 3 codes just after I posted the original question, and have been driving around for a few hours this evening, and the codes have not reappeared.
I find this really bizarre.

Omega General Help / Fault Codes
« on: 31 March 2016, 15:20:57 »
Due to having a camshaft seize up, I've had to have a replacement engine fitted to my 2003 2.2 petrol Omega (Z22XE) by my regular mechanic.
However, the following codes are being generated:
P0700
P0743
P1781
I can see that they are to do with the transmission, but I would appreciate some advice as to what may have caused these codes and how to get rid of them.
ie, is it something that just has to be allowed to "bed in" due to the replacement engine and will clear in time, or will something have to be done to clear them.
Also, will it cause problems actually driving the car whilst these codes are present.
TIA
Steve

Further to this, the Pioneer arrived this morning, and have just discovered that you can't even control it using steering controls !!!!!
Pics in the manual are for a different unit :-(
Now looking at another Kenwood unit but it doesn't use the old Autoleads loom - More fun and games :-)

So will the mid just go blank when the pioneer is switched on ? or will the date stay on display?
Thx

« on: 17 September 2015, 00:42:45 »
Can anyone help.....
I'm contemplating sticking a Pioneer mvh-180ubg into my 2003 2.2 CD and was wondering whether it will output anything to the MID.
I've seen that an autoleads connector will plug into the back for the steering wheels controls, but can't see anything for the display.
Regarding this, the manual is totally useless!
TIA
