Yes the ICV is sealed in quite tight, as far as i know the engine has not been stripped down recently. The only problem i did notice was that the screw holding the ICV bracket in was missing.

Omega General Help / Frustrated

« on: 25 February 2009, 17:20:15 »

Recently i had an issue where the car would idle up and down between 500 and 1200 rpm when cold and at normal temp, from cold it is even worse and stalls all the time unless you keep the revs up however i was advised to change the ICV and this would eliminate the problem, to which i have done but still have the same problem, i cant see any leaks on any of the vacum pipes either.Any help would be appreciated before i take it to Vauxhall....

PS The problem is not constant..however very annoying

Omega General Help / Idle Control Valve

« on: 24 February 2009, 10:32:46 »

Took the idle control valve off this morning and cleaned it out properly with carb cleaner and finished the job off with a bit of 3 in 1 oil, put it all back together and it now purrs away although i think a little fast on tickover, it currently ticks over at 900 in drive and 1500 in park also i cant see any way of adjusting this so any help would be appreciated, also when i took the ICV off one end was taped up with black tape with just a small hole in the tape ?? This was the opposite end to the electrical connection by the way....

Omega General Help / couple of problems

« on: 20 February 2009, 09:26:45 »

Morning, i'm looking to buy an omega but the car i was looking to buy has the following problems and was wondering if this would be costly and hard to correct, the prblems are The drivers heated seat does not work, prob just a fuse (owners comment). Also it does not idle well when cold and tends to cut out if you are not moving. I belive this to be a common Omega problem (owners comments) but it runs fine when warm and idles correctly

Any help would be appreciated
