Omega General Help / Cover on plenum

« on: 01 July 2018, 17:41:48 »

Can anyone tell me, does the plastic cover on the plenum with the ecotec print(2001 3.0 v6 ) click off  or slide off. And when removed,  does it give access to breather hoses?  Was told it clicks off but afraid of breaking it.

Omega General Help / Fuel filter connection

« on: 24 June 2018, 19:18:06 »

Hello all. Fitted a new fuel filter today,and although it seemed to connect properly, discovered it was leaking badly at front end. Connection on old filter was difficult to release, and after removal it appeared corroded and have possibly damaged the connection...looks like it was butchered by a previous owner or mechanic.
   I now can't fit new filter and car will have to be off the road in meantime (use it for work). Will I have to replace the whole fuel line or can I just replace the connector....if they are indeed available...it's like an elbow joint and looks quite difficult to remove from main line, tight fit and crimped...obviously made that way. Filter clicks in OK back end. How do I post a pic 😉

Omega General Help / Anti-theft alarm/transponder issue

« on: 06 November 2016, 18:22:39 »

Hello all, i hope someone can help as i have MOT this week. 
    My key fob stopped working as i tried to get to work a few days ago, so I opened car with key thinking once i put key in ignition it would knock off alarm....but no. so as alarm blared at 7am i decided to disconnect battery, then i disconnected power sounder and removed fuse for hazard lights (which also disables info on dash,speedo, radio and air conditioning etc).
    I went to buy a new key fob...£70 , but his tech machine wouldn't communicate with car diagnostics in order to sync new fob . I was wondering if this had anything to do with the alarm being in activation mode, and/or the power sounder being disconnected. Btw the fuse had to be re-fitted during this. In the meantime I'm still driving car ok, but with a few dashlights flashing. The boot doesn't open either from the main console. Can't get through MOT like this.
   I managed to knock together an old fob, the red light shows when pressing buttons, but no joy communicating with car.

   Any help greatly appreciated    (2001 3.0v6 elite)
