Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Replacing HID leveling motors

« on: 21 March 2012, 14:45:08 »

Hi, I'm going to replace leveling motors in an hour now, but there is a problem.
Lights level is now adjusted manualy (motors dissconected, "threded sprocket" inside the box turned by hand), when replacing box with motor, will light beam fall down to the lowest point or will it stay up? I don't really know what it looks like inside but will soon see...
Thanks

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Yet another one about xenon headlights

« on: 15 March 2012, 20:32:22 »

Hello again, I'm about to replace fubar headlight leveling motors, which are only couse for leveling not working (for now).
Let's say it is the only fault, I hope so, will the leveling system manage to set light on exactly correct height after I disconected entire leveling unit and adjusted them manualy a year ago? Or will I need some MOT help to adjust the height?
Thanks, Stan

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Headlight leveling problem

« on: 13 March 2012, 09:01:41 »

Hi, it has been a year now when I bought my omega and having an issue with message on screen saying "Leuchtweitenregulierung Fahrlicht" or as uncle google translates it "Headlamp leveling headlights"

Headlight leveling is disconected now and lights are adjusted manualy because leveling mechanism was in fubar as follows


I'll order a pair of electro motors from a member here but I need to know if it would be smart to replace all el.  things in that "black box" that are conected on el.motor due to all that rust in there?
And finally, plastic headlight adjusters are probably gone too so I should order some alluminum adjusters as a precation...am I right?
Thanks for help, Stan

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / A horn issue

« on: 11 March 2012, 18:01:47 »

Hi guys, it seems my omega is eating horns one by one, they work for two or three months, then they stop working. I've replaced it for the third time three months ago and it's dead again.
It's not that I'm using it so much to kill it....I barely do.
Is there some common issue with this or is it just me/mine car having apetite for horn destruction? Thanks

Omega General Help / What was that?

« on: 07 March 2012, 14:32:17 »

Hi guys, just a little annoyance that has happened to me today.
I was driving for maybe 10 miles, doing 30/35 mph when I noticed gauges for km/h and rpm went down to zero but just for a second, not longer, than came back up and working fine. Car was driving nice even when this happened, no eml on, no codes stored.
It reminds me of cam sensor on it's way out.
Any other idea maybe?

Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / Part delivery

« on: 19 February 2012, 21:18:49 »

I hope this is the right zone to ask a question or two...
See, my omega has xenon headligts, but one el. motor isn't working and headlight adjusters (would need alluminum ones) are probably gone too.
Could those parts be delivered to my country and how can I pay for that? I can open paypal account, not a problem.
This are the only things (for now) that need to be sorted on my car and would really like to fix it.
Thanks for help, Stan

General Car Chat / A Peugeot 307 question

« on: 15 February 2012, 10:32:55 »

I wanted to help coworker and it seems I screwed up something.
Lock/unlock buttons were worn out so I ordered a new housing and thought thay's it.
As always follows "BUT"....
Lock/unlock still works but imobiliser doesn't let engine to start 
I followed this manual :
PEUGEOT 307 PLIP  - Remote Key
Programming
1. Turn the Ignition switch to the ON
position using the first key.
2. Press the LOCK button for 10 seconds.
3. Remove the key and wait for 10 seconds.
4. Check the Plip key operation.
5. Repeat for second Plip key if required.
6. Turn the ignition OFF

It works fine, cranking and ignition ferfectly but when I lock the car and unlock it again, it's just cranking, no ignition.
Anyone knows the solution?
Beside going to stealers? Thanks, Stan

Omega General Help / Oil consumption?

« on: 11 February 2012, 16:30:03 »

Hi guys, I just came from outside, checking oil and other liquids...
Deep stick was oily just on the lowest part, way under it should be. Done only 3000 km after oil change, done by myself so there's no question about oil level when changing it.
Added one liter to reach only 3/4 to max. There is a small oil leak from crankshaft seal at the front of the engine but nothing major, the same for last 20.000 km. Camshaft cover gasket was sorted out 20.000 km ago, no other leak or oil smell from anywhere. My omega has covered 232.000 km now, no extra smoke from exhaust when starting at -15 degrees all month....
Any ideas maybe? Thanks, Stan

Recording in Ljubljana, capital city, he was prosecuted, found guilty, lost his driving licence and have to pay large fine, a few of them exactly....BUT!....
Yesterday the same idiot tried to escape from the police again, with two more passengers in a car....he collected every posible fineb including driving with no licence...At least he got what he deserves. In critical condition, luckily no one else was hurt. Pics of the end result in next post
