Omega General Help / Re: Mobile/Home/or Willing Mechanic Register ?
« on: 21 June 2015, 17:43:38 »
I think it's a good idea especially if it comes as a recommendation from a member. My local mechanic knows all about Omegas if anyone wants a recommendation in my area.

Omega General Help / Rear 12V supply fuse blown again
« on: 21 June 2015, 17:40:11 »
Can anyone please advise which fuse takes care of the 12V rear seat power supply - mine's blown again and I'd rather not take each out in turn to find it. My car is a 2003 Elite Estate.
Thanks,
Phil

Omega General Help / Re: Knocking/pinking on startup

I've just seen this on a Cadillac Owners forum that seems to be repeated elsewhere if you do a Google search...
'Re: Rattle/engine knock on cold start up?
What you are experiencing is called piston slap aka "cold carbon rap". There is a carbon build up on the head from granny driving. The piston hits it, causing it to rock on the wrist pin and the skirt "slaps" the cylinder wall. The repair is simple (and fun). Take it out and drive it like you stole it...'

Any views ?

Still doing it-my friendly mechanic has no idea what it could be and to stress, once it's stopped the car performs normally.
My recommendation is let the car tick over until it stops then drive !

I get exactly the same on my 2003 2.6. Been doing it for about a year now - a slight knocking in the lower front of the engine and only on cold start up & lasts for around 10 seconds. Car runs sweet as a nut otherwise.

Thanks for your reply... They're totally silent.
Can you point me to the fuse and speaker locations ?

Omega General Help / 2003 Elite estate parking sensors stopped working
« on: 03 September 2012, 22:30:23 »
My sensors have given up ! I've seen a thread in relation to locating the saloon's parking sensor box of tricks, but not for the estate. Has anyone got any advice ? I would buy a Haynes manual but can't find one for the facelift model - is there one ?
Thanks,
Phil
