Omega General Help / Picture of what a front wheel arch should like required

« on: 24 July 2021, 11:07:18 »

The tools are bought, youtube videos bookmarked and MIG welder being re searched.

Could anyone send me a picture of what the front wheel arches should look like on a 2002 Omega so I know what part should and should not be there. Was this just metal with a coating or were they metal with a lining then coating? I am coming across a lot of steel but also a softer peeling material.. which I hope was not metal

I am also wondering as a newbie to mechanics if someone could point me in the right direction to understand what the wires and tubes are in this area.

Omega General Help / How much rust is too much rust

« on: 07 July 2021, 19:58:29 »

Been working on my Omega for a while now but I wonder if there is a point where too much rust is too much, I am happy to plod away on this project but I don't want to spend time and money if the rust is so bad that its never going to be drive able and safe.

I will get some pictures when I feel brave enough but after removing the sill plastic covers under the sill is badly rusted to holes and the jack up points are very bad also.

The arches I am comfortable cutting out and using low heat aluminum rods with new metal, fiberglass to repair but under the car i am not so sure.

I really don't want to get rid of her and I do want an Omega in my life.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Removed hedgehog and I have spare wires, need advice

« on: 01 February 2021, 11:23:19 »

Hello folks, thanks for the help on here to trouble shoot my cabin blower which works hooked up to direct 12v but in removing the hedgehog I may have ripped out 2 wires and I have no idea where they should go.

1 - a brown wire I have no idea where it goes.. i feel it may be block 5 with the blue and white wire.
2 -the block that came from the hedgehog
3 - a red wire I have no idea where it goes.. i feel it may be block 5 with the blue and white wire.
4 - Not sure what the block 4 wires are
5 - Not sure what the block 5 wires are for
6 - a hose that looks like it was connected to something.
Any help in this would be appreciated as I feel my brute force approach has now caused me more problems.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / 2002 2.6 v6 blowers not working

« on: 19 January 2021, 13:34:14 »

Hello folks, I bought myself a 2002 Omega for a couple hunner quid and doing her up.

One problem I have run into is the blowers display the fan power for a second or 2 then vanish with no blow.

At this moment in time I have the glove box out to look for a hedgehog  but with vent pipes and cables in the way I cant see where this little guy is, does anyone have a picture of where its located?
