Really, dealers are quoting £120.

What's factors?

Omega General Help / 3.2 coil pack

« on: 16 October 2012, 15:24:07 »

Hi everyone,

It's time to replace the coil packs on Voo as the extensions have crumbled from being poached in oil.

I'm looking for a replacement on ebay but cant tell the left from the right. I purchased one secondhand in good condition for cylinders 1-3-5, so need the other one for 2-4-6. does anyone know the part number?

Is this the correct one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-OMEGA-B-3-2-V6-160KW-01-04-NEW-IGNITION-COIL-PACK-/270996869778?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f18ac1292

Omega General Help / Re: Which LPG reducer repair kit?

« on: 10 November 2011, 17:01:30 »

I've worked out I don't have an R90E type reducer which seems to be the type for which everyone is supplying spares. Mine looks similar to this:



That explains why my installer said it would take about three weeks to get a replacement diaphragm. I though about just buying a replacement reducer for £109 + postage from Ireland (see here:http://www.ebay.ie/itm/LPG-Vapouriser-Reducer-high-power-OMVL-autogas-GPL-/290455915059?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item43a0858a33)

Does anyone have information about this model compared to the R90E? I have 3.2 V6.

I would if they had a phone number. Actually as their e-mail links to a blank page, I think I'll give them a miss.

Does anyone have any ideas for a reputable supplier?

That's what I thought, but other sites also list only one kit

Hi everyone,

My LPG installer has diagnosed a "faulty" diaphragm on the reducer. It's an OMVL Dream kit.

I've found this http://www.lpg-kits.com/injection.htm on-line, they list three different models of actual reducer. Does anyone know if the diaphragm kit is the same across the lot, or do I need to specify the model as well?

I thought about that but I don't have another battery and even though it's an Estate, the tailgate lock is also jammed.

If it's an estate you can just crawl through the car can't you? Or borrow a small child from a friend or neighbour!

Well The RAC got here in the end and opened it by wedging the door at the top and using a thick wire to pop the button.

Will still have to get the locks sorted.

Thanks to everyone for your advice and support.

how about lub'ing the barrel  The key should work, having said that though I tried years ago to get into my deadlocked car that had a flat battery & there was no way the key would open the car. In the end I opened the boot (preface lift saloon) popped the boot light & connected A N Other battery to the wires, the fob then opened the car as normal. It's a good idea to use the door locks every now & then.

I thought about that but I don't have another battery and even though it's an Estate, the tailgate lock is also jammed.

Where do I lube it, just straight in the hole?

No that didn't work. I even tried with a pair of pliers, it's well and truly stuck. Last time I used it was about three years ago.

Time to call the fourth emergency service ;-(

I disconnected my battery with the doors locked and then the bonnet slammed down. I tried putting the key in the door and turning it to no avail. I know it's supposed to be hard, but I think it's going to break before I ever get it to turn.

Does anyone remember which way it should go? Clockwise or anticlockwise?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: sat nav is about 1/2 mile out of range, any ideas?

« on: 12 June 2008, 18:26:41 »

They seem to take some time when first powered up to get the position accurate.........when mine was first fitted it thought we were 2 streets away, after a few hours of working it was mega accurate.

I agree, when I frst installed mine, it thought it was in Germany until I'd driven about 20 miles.

They're also slow to get accurate first thing on a cold morning, though I can't imagine that being a problem at the moment.

...What TB said... Check both cables are firmly in the back of the CID.

There are two cables/connectors going into the back of the CID. Crudely speaking, the long one does the black and white stuff (amongst other things), and the small (usually blue) one does the color.

The fact that you're seeing the b+w overlay but not the colour map suggests something with the small (RGB) connector.

When you say you've had a new NCDC fitted, is it a replacement unit i.e. did you have another NCDC2013 and CID in there before, or is this an upgrade?

Does it have the extra RGB cable connected?
