Omega General Help / Re: Spring assisters...
« on: 17 August 2014, 18:26:54 »
the mv6 springs wont stop it bottoming out, our mv6 is on its arse with the 5 berth van on the back and also bottoms out on bumpy roads, also got a witter towbar fitted.

funny enough we just bought from spring assisters last week to try, just not got round to fitting them.

once its open, is it new motor time, as the times when it worked, it would lock but only on deadlock.

so anoying was down scrap yard yesterday and totally forgot to get a cl motor, got distracted at finding a new headlight washer in there;D

Omega General Help / how can a get my door open?
« on: 19 May 2014, 19:20:51 »
for the past few months my passenger door has had the central locking working at random but whenever it didnt open you could always pull up the button on the door and get in.

today it just wont open and the button is stuck down solid, no matter how hard you pull.

anyone got any suggestions of how to open it?, preferable without ripping the door card to bits :(

Omega General Help / Re: key fob replacement?
« on: 19 May 2014, 19:11:51 »
Really? What will the Steelers charge for the bits?

car pass is £25 - £30 depending on dealer, had 3 different prices from dealers around here, they all seem to charge around this much though.
new fob cost me £32 last year from vauxhall.

« on: 19 May 2014, 19:06:57 »
2.6 v6 cdx manual, 24mpg average and 90% town driving.



MID's are fairly accurate, they are not usually that far off  :y

how accurate is the range though on the mids, ive only dared go too 8 miles ::), mpg figures on the mid seem accurate on mine.

when was the last time the inlet manifold/swirl flaps cleaned out, i found it made a huge difference to mine when it was cleaned , messy job but well worth it to get the power back and helped reduce turbo lag a bit.
Probably never. TIS implies that the pump has to be bled with KM948 once the injection pipes have been off, which means its not something I can currently do.

Not needed.

Idealy you would have a priming bulb in the fuel filter fuel feed line but, you simply crack the high pressure injector pipes and crank for short intervals with half plus throttle applied until you see fuel from the lines. Then nip up and away you go.

ive tried this way on 3 different cars with the dti engine and cracking the high pressure pipes never seems to work for me

Anyone know where sells the little rubber connectors used for the vac pipes. And vac pipes come to that (vac pump to turbo solenoid is a tad short, and has signed of rubbing (but not bad enough to cause a fault), so may as well change it)?

Euroshiteparts, GSF, Hellfrauds and a local factors all let me down.

gm want £6 each for these little rubber connectors ;D, on my vectra with the same engine i just changed all the vaccum hoses for some silicone hoses off ebay (3mm i think) and just pushed them striaght on, no need for the connectors with the silicon hoses.

Omega General Help / heated seat a bit too hot
« on: 09 March 2014, 16:53:49 »
should a heated seat be able to burn your ass off :o cause no matter what setting i put my seat on even on setting 1 (lowest?) it gets so hot you cant remain on the seat.

was a bad decision to try it for the first time on the motorway, job and half trying to drive without being on the seat ;D

Omega General Help / Re: revs sticking
« on: 09 March 2014, 16:44:16 »
update

was a faulty maf sensor

managed to use the maf sensor i had from my old vectra dti, same maf sensor just different housing :y

idle is a bit smoother, fuel trims all normal now and no sticking revs, so nice to be able to drive smoothly now
