Omega General Help / No heat in the cabin, heater matrix replaced and hot

« on: 05 October 2024, 00:23:39 »

Like the title says, I'm not getting almost any heat inside at all. I've replaced the heater matrix thinking that it was the culprit. The old one WAS leaking and clogged from some kind of headgasket sealer, but I'm still not getting any heat. There's a loose vacuum hose (?) that's black with a blue line that has been blocked off with a bolt from the previous owner. Nearby is a vacuum actuator connected to what I'm guessing is the recirculation system. So I'm guessing not very important. Above the heater matrix are 3 servo actuators with one of them having a broken connector just hanging. I connected it back, but no heat. Doing the climate control "reset" by pressing auto and off at the same time makes the servo with part number 090512500 move but the two other's do not. The servo that had a broken connector was numbered as 090512499.

Here's a picture of the servo with broken connector.


Is there any info on what exactly these different servo motors adjust? Which one might be responsible for mixing heated and cold air?

Omega General Help / 2.6 v6 rear diff fill plug knackered

« on: 27 September 2024, 10:00:25 »

Hey. Finally got my Omega to pass MOT. Noticed that the LSD is not working, the inside wheel spins freely and the rear kind of rumbles when trying to get the car to slide. Wanted to change the diff oil with some 75w-90 LS gear oil but the fill plug is practically destroyed. Are screw extractor tools any good? Would most likely need quite a bit of bite to get it loose. I read about there being some kind of a breather hole on top of the diff that you can fill from, is there any more information on how to remove it etc.? Thanks.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Front doors don't react to remote

« on: 14 March 2024, 16:36:54 »

Hey. I bought an omega from a scummy seller a couple of years ago and have been fixing a bunch of things he never told about to get the car MOT ready. The only problem I'm having anymore is with the central locking system, the front doors don't lock or unlock from the key fob. Passenger (right) side door lock doesn't work at all except from the physical handle inside and the driver side can only be locked or unlocked with the key inserted into the door.

I'm wondering if the lock actuator is broken on both doors, I just think it would be a huge coincidence for this to happen. I'm thinking about this part https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.bv-6OvohNnpIojC64psAlgHaIS?rs=1&pid=ImgDetMain
I removed the door card and saw the "lock handle" moving up and down attached to this part. I'm guessing it's what the central locking actuates? Does the driver door lock have a physical linkage to the lock mechanism itself or is it electric like on my 2008 Passat?

Newbie Welcome Area / New Omega owner here

« on: 14 March 2024, 16:25:39 »

Hey! Seems like there's been a bunch of people joining from Finland, just like me. I bought a facelift B omega with the 2.6 liter V6 two years ago and am just now getting around to fixing it. Hope I'll be getting help here with the project.
