Omega General Help / Original Spare Part Number for Rear Brake Pad Assembly Kit

« on: 06 November 2014, 16:05:37 »

Hello

Looking for assembly kit for rear brake pads, ventilated ATE (as usually with V6). Everybody offers me kit with too short pins and too narrow "cross-plates" or whatever these plate parts are called. I was asked to check the original spare part number for those parts or for the whole kit.

Does anyone of you have these original numbers available?

Omega General Help / 0.24 amps current

« on: 12 October 2014, 15:24:04 »

Hello

Just changed battery as it died after six years (Bosch). All OK, charging more than 14V. During this repair I wanted to check how much current is consumed while car is parked. I closed the doors but did not lock them, put amp. meter between battery minus and minus cable and found that there is after 15 seconds about 0.24A current. It did not change within a couple of minutes. The value seems quite high for me. Is this normal? Just think that about in 4 hours 1Ah is used, 6Ah in a day and night. After ten days 60Ah.

Any experience about this, strange!

Omega General Help / Vacuum pipes and motors controlling the air valves of the heating/cooling system

« on: 03 August 2014, 11:43:15 »

Hello

Does anyone have schematics how the vacuum pipes/motors behind the dashboard are located and what valves they are controlling. I do not have any specific problems but when I one day took away the glowebox (when trying to find the day-light-relay with bad succes) I realized that the vacuum pipe controlling the "internal air circulation" was unplugged and stopped up with a screw. That is not a big problem, it just does not operate but there is another thing:

When I bought this car in Jan 2004 it was only 3 years old and it had a warranty from the seller. I pressed ten years ago this internal circulation button just to check what happens. What happened was that the air to windscreen was stopped and it did not come back even if I put the heating system to normal mode. I drowe the car to the seller and they repaired it under warranty. I was told that they changed one valve somewhere. I was not told which valve. Perhaps they also put this screw to that pipe. I do not know and I do not blame anybody. The heating/air cond. is working nicely except that in cold winter time sometimes I get some fog to windscreen even if the engine and car has been hot e.g. one hour. Perhaps there is something I could fix.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Location of "Relay for Day Lights"

« on: 24 July 2014, 06:53:21 »

Hello

I do not know the English word of this relay but it switchs the lights on allways when engine is running even if the light switch is in zero position.

This relay does not work anymore. I already bought a new one but I cannot find where it is located in the car. I remember I heard the click of that relay somewhere in the passenger side perhaps behind the glowebox. I took away the glovebox as well as the side cover in the passenger foot area and found many interesting things and much cables but not this relay from anywhere. Where that could be found?

Omega General Help / TC-light and error code C0260

« on: 03 November 2013, 15:21:41 »

Hello all

When starting in the morning and reversing from garage the TC+another (spanner) light comes on. With reader I found in TC&ABS section the code C0260. When engine is stoppped and started again the spanner light is on a couple of seconds and the dissappears. After that everything is OK. Next morning it happens again.

I checked also the gearbox and engine codes and found P0705 and P1700. Perhaps they are just side effect of thr root case. Do anyone know the meaning of this C0260 code.

Omega General Help / Low Beam Fld/Vision

« on: 18 April 2013, 14:09:07 »

Hello all

Got this message to the dashboard twice today. What does it tell?

Remember I got same message some years ago just before the alternator broke. I measured today the alternator voltage with 3500 rpm in engine and full electric load on like lights fans rear screen heater etc. and the voltage climbed (up) to 13.8V. Then I put all the load off and the voltage with 3500 rpm climbed to 14.1 V. These values seem to me quite low, I remember the alternator is 100 or 120 A.

When I was last time under the car I realized that the cable between engine and chassis is in very bad condition. Have to change that soon. The starter motor runs very "strongly" so I do not believe that the cable is the problem now.

If you have any tips please let me know, perhaps battery, it is more than 4 years old.

Omega General Help / Engine oil leakage between engine and auto gear box ??

« on: 20 July 2012, 07:15:53 »

Hello all

Just realized that engine oil is leaking quite much to the floor. It seems to come from the joint of the engine and gear bos (2.6, V6 and AR-25). So, perhaps the crank sealing in back end is broken. Is this a common problem with V6. If yes is it possible to change the crank sealing by just takin the gear box away. Is there any "cover" which I could remove to check whether the oil is coming from the crank end of the engine. I saw yesterday four torx bolts in this joint area screwed upwards but did not understand what they are holding.

Are there any other common sources for this leakage. Perhaps the oil is coming somewhere else, it was difficult to see anything in the upper part of the engine. 170 000 km is behind. Never changed any sealings in this engine e.g. the cam cover sealings are original.

Please help me to avoid wrong diagnostic.

Omega General Help / What does the HBV do and when

« on: 01 February 2012, 07:22:22 »

Hello

It is understood that cooling liquid can bypass the heater or go through the heater. I understood that the heater air temperature is controlled by mixing the heated air and fresh air. Is the water temperature in the heater controlled by this valve or is it just on-off ?

Omega General Help / Slight petrol smell in cabin when driving, perhaps the carbon filter old ??

« on: 05 October 2011, 15:57:28 »

Hello

A couple of months I have noticed a slight petrol smell in cabin perhaps only in the beginning of the journey. Fuel consumption OK (or normal) engine runs perfectly like 2.6 V6 usually does.

I understood there is a tank ventilation carbon filter behind the front right side wheel which should sometimes changed. I have now 160 000 kilometers behind. Is it possible that the smell is coming from this carbon filter ?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Fuses

« on: 16 January 2010, 15:03:54 »

Hello all
Got some problems with my radio (CDR-2005). Problem is now over. During that I tried to check the radio fuse. According to owner's manual the radio fuce should be No. 6, the figure shows that the lowest row have 8 fuses. Pos 4 and 6 are emty in my fuse box. As said radio is OK now. No. 4 should be for cooler's fun. That works, too. Acc. to manual also fuse No. 12 is for radio and fuse No. 15 is for cooler's fan. Just for future needs do any of you have a real map of fuses.

Omega General Help / Ride height in rear side

« on: 27 June 2011, 17:26:12 »

My rear side seems to be in lower position than the front side if I have fuel tank full and e.g. 50 kg in the luggage boot. What is the correct height in rear side when unloaded ? It was discussed here some weeks ago but I cannot find it.
