Omega General Help / Rear road springs

« on: 14 November 2008, 00:12:25 »

Hi

Does anyone know where I can get some reasonable quality rear road springs for my 2.2 CD petrol (Facelift) without self leveling for slightly less than the £320 asked by local Vauxhall dealers??

Omega General Help / Any ideas?? (Interior Light)

« on: 17 August 2008, 21:43:38 »

Hi Everyone

Has anyone any idea what I can do with my interior courtesy light. When the door is opened the light comes on and stays on for the allotted delay time. However, when the ignition is switched on it remains illuminated. This is the same when the engine is running, if the door is opened at night the light stays on for the delay time even though the engine is running.

Is there a simple fix for this as it makes driving at night a problem if someone gets in or out.

Thanks for your help
Pete

Omega General Help / How do I adjust headlights?

« on: 05 August 2008, 16:35:50 »

Sorry if this is elsewhere on the site, Could anyone tell me how I adjust the beam on a post facelift 2001 Omega? (I know about the levers to make it left or right hand drive) but its the beam height that needs adjustment.

Thanks

Omega General Help / Body Earth

« on: 16 July 2008, 16:37:35 »

Hi

Can anyone tell me, if you disconnect the body earth running from the battery, (There appear to be 2) at the body join, will I lose the immobiliser codes???

I have the codes, but no tech 2 to reprogramme it. I am concerned that I have an earth problem and would like to take it off and clean the earth but don't want to have to reprogramme everyting!

Omega General Help / Help!! Sensors, Fault codes and I'm at a loss!!!

« on: 30 June 2008, 20:34:25 »

Can anyone please help!

I have recently had a problem with the engine light coming on. I used my code reader to find P0340 Camshaft sensor, and P0335 Crankshaft sensor. In an effort to solve this I replaced both cam and crank sensors. Started the car, and engine light came straight on (P0340) but also showed pending codes for throttle position sensor (P0120 and P1500) in pending codes. When I tried to clear the codes the engine stalled as soon as they were erased.

Anyone any ideas?

Meetings, gatherings, parties etc / Mercedes Benz World anyone???

« on: 29 June 2008, 01:53:30 »

Would anyone be interested in a meeting at Mercedes Benz World at Cobham?

It's quite a good day out, letting you play in all of their new cars and laugh at the poor quality they have the cheek to charge £100,000 for! There is also a play area for kids, interactive displays and (If booked in advance) AMG driving experiences from £25.00.

Best of all entry is free!

Let me know if anyone is interested with suggested dates and I will arrange it.

General Discussion Area / Very Lucky Escape

« on: 22 June 2008, 17:29:15 »

Hi to everyone,

Having just purchased a 2001 2.2 CD I thought that the timing belt sounded a little noisy. There was a sticker under the bonnet saying that the belt and rollers had been replaced last year (15,000 miles ago)

I took the cover off and couldn't believe my eyes, the wrong belt had been fitted, almost 10 mm too narrow, and the washer behind the right hand roller had not been fitted. The roller had chaffed at the rear and the belt had been running backwards and forwards at will on the water pump and guides as none of them were in line!

Needless to say they have all been replaced, including a water pump just in case! The belt was just about to come off!

Some cowboy garages should be shot!!! Hope that no-one else has had their belt changed in Sittingbourne in Kent!
