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 / heated seat a bit too hot

« on: 09 March 2014, 16:53:49 »

should a heated seat be able to burn your ass off 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

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / bose subs

« on: 20 February 2014, 16:28:55 »

are the bose subs anygood?

even though the sound is decent on the standard cdx speakers, i find it a bit lacking in low end bass.

thinking of getting some bose subs from the scrappy and wiring them up to the amp ive got from my current subs, dont want to fit the subs ive got as i want to keep the boot space.

so the bose ones will be ideal on the shelf if there not too bad.

Omega General Help / snapped cam cover bolt, how to fix?

« on: 19 February 2014, 15:50:45 »

changed the cam cover gaskets the other day, all went well until it came to tighten the bolts up, i snapped one due to the torque wrench being faulty

bought a new wrench and fitted the rest for now as i need the car for work.

hows best to fix this?

can the cam holder thing be changed to new or one from the scrap yard or am i gonna have to try and drill it out, tap a new thread and put a bigger bolt in?

Omega General Help / revs sticking

« on: 19 February 2014, 15:44:56 »

what would cause the revs to stick usually around 1800-2000rpm.

very anoying as its doing it between gear changes and when your pulling up at lights.

ive had a quick look for air leaks, when i done the cam cover gaskets the other day but couldnt see anything obvious.

if i unplug the maf it will stick for about 1 second then return to normal idle (if 500 rpm is normal idle speed) rather than the 10 or so seconds that it does with it plugged in.

had a play with the diagnostics looking at the live data (not really sure what im looking for lol)
short term fuel trims are around 15% when the revs stick around 1800rpm, drops down to 0% when at normal idle
long term fuel trims are 1%.

maf readings are 10kg/h at idle and around 20kg/h at 1800rpm when the revs stick, do these seem ok?

going off these reading would i be right in presuming that its more likely to me a air leak than the maf.
is there anywhere common on the 2.6's for airleaks?
