Omega General Help / Re: How Much Coolant You Can Drain from Radiator "Bottom Plug"
« on: 20 March 2020, 14:42:58 »
During the almost 16 years with the Omega, I was forced to change the 12 seals in the engine block 3 times. Now I use only demineralized water, mixed with the radiator additive, in the proportion recommended in the vehicle manual. In the additive packaging, it mentions durability of 4 years of use, however, I intend to change the solution every 2 years. I believe that I will not have any more problems with the new aluminum seals, made to measure.

I contacted a friend, who works at the Traffic Department in our city, to include the turbo and ethanol in my car document. He informed me that the LEDs can no longer be legalized in the main headlights around here. As the country is a Federation, there are States that allow it and others that no longer allow it. It was great to have connected, before buying the 6 LEDs! I saved a considerable amount of money.

glass lenses with nobbly diffuser ,different to Omega B clear plastic lense
An electrician friend, who does all the maintenance on the electrical part of my cars, told me it will be fine. However, I have already read that it will not work due to the slots in the glass lenses and I will blind other drivers.

« on: 17 March 2020, 13:44:37 »Take a look here, they have good stuff and now offer LED's for Low Beam with Projector lenses.
I have bought my LED's from this place.
You have to pay for good stuff. £85 is about SEK1000

« on: 16 March 2020, 13:18:04 »I ran H7 bi zennon HIDs in my carlton (omega A ) low beams ok
full beam went everywhere
but you don't use full beam driving at other cars ,well i didn't
good down the twisty country lanes ,
i had 100w lamps in the pencil beams too
I never used xenon in the headlights. Only in fog lights, 4300 or 3000K and illuminated the imperfections of the pavement very well. It is a constant concern when you use rim wheels 20 and profile tires 35.

« on: 16 March 2020, 13:09:42 »I am interested in this subject. I love xenon. It is forbidden for old cars here, but many use it, because there are still roads, streets and avenues with bad pavement. I use Philips Diamond Vision lamps in low, high and fog lights. The possible option to legalize until 2021 are leds. Is it true that there are leds for headlights without a projector?There is no end of junk available from China that will fit anything. I bought some H7 late last year for 5GBP a pair (not to use in a car - long story) that would work well without projectors (though being Chinese, no idea how long they would work, or how good they actually are in cars).
Obviously, you may have local legalities that may or may not be enforceable in your country.
I haven't seen the result of an adaptation of leds in the headlights of an Omega A yet. Perhaps at the next meeting of the Clube do Omega MG, March 29, I will see. I intend to use Philips, Osram or K2on leds and legalize them before 2021, when changes in lighting will be prohibited here.

« on: 11 March 2020, 14:26:55 »Dear friends,
I have been looking for the rear spoiler of the Omega GSI for a long time, but it is very difficult to find. I found a manufacturer around here, which made a very similar customized spoiler in fiberglass.
I canceled my subscription to Photobucket. I didn't adapt to it. I found a local website to host my photos:

One of my favorite subjects at the meetings of the Clube do Omega MG and I am always consulted. As the music of the 6-cylinder engine always deserves to be beautiful, in the almost 16 years with the Omega, I have already changed the exhaust configuration 13 times !!
