Long long time ago , I walked to the dealer and asked about the price for replacing gaskets on the 3.2 - the Labour was around £350 + the gasket = better buy another Omega and this one take a time a definitely DIY

Omega General Help / Ignition coil full of oil ..:(

« on: 24 January 2016, 18:35:21 »

Hi Guys,
I got small problem .
I started on cleaning and servicing the 2.2 omega and when to came to the rocker gasket...
I pull the ignition coil - the spark plugs were full right up to the rocker cover with old oil, a little bit cocked .

so I started sucking that oil and trying to clean what i can but, its still some sh..e on the bottom.
i cleaned everything as much as i thought be ok and put new gasket , cleaning throttle, new thermostat ,new filters etc.
and started -- bang 30000 fault codes came up. and big misfire.
took the cil back again and put some electric cleaner - and a lot better but still 2 codes p0354 and p0302
and works like a tractor.
I sprayed quite a lot of electric connector cleaner were the spark plugs are , and I think no.2 leaked a bit inside

Now my question how to clean everything right up to make sure when I take spark plugs out no shite go down the hole ?

some of the pic. first one with still some oil but cleaned like 0.5 litre out already.

Omega General Help / Re: thermostat replacent cost?

« on: 19 January 2016, 18:45:18 »

The bolt was not as bad as I thought replacing the thermostat but, for peace of mind the best is to buy the connecting aluminium pipe as well  - I cracked mine, so work instead of few hours was 3 days
pipe cost around £10 at dealer.

General Car Chat / My new Omega 2.2 - project for nice finish

« on: 16 January 2016, 19:38:57 »

Hello guys I was for long not here because i sold my 3.2 elite - just didn't have time to play with it and some more reasons..
but recently i bought 2.2 CD 16v with 74 000 miles on the clock - got few thing to sort it out but it drives not bad at all  - i think slowly for few moths Im gonna build it perfect for the summer 2016.

there is some of the pictures, maybe someone recognise the car ?
the car looks a lot better now after one week, and be a lot better, actually I like that 2.2 engine looks like its very easy to service and keep it in good condition.

looks nice specially for that price, i had one 2.0 and they are very good cars, just bit noisy and for repairing anything on suspension the main tool was an angle grinder

Omega General Help / Re: Gearbox P0730 :( problems never ends

« on: 22 April 2015, 16:05:29 »

That's what i thought , everyone seams replaced box in the end with that code.
i found one for £80 + £90 postage (northern irleand) is that fair price ?

but first i think i will change the oil, check if there is anything wrong and use that transmision fix, there is lots of positive comments about that product.
well I have as well p0420 few times now about catalytic converter - the next thing to do need check suspension because is not right , puling to the one side or another and i saw in paperwork that there is very small leak from drive shaft. apart from this everything works ok ... and there is vey small amout of rust , so rust wise is very good..
