Omega General Help / Did you know..... (2.6 MAF Info)

« on: 25 November 2009, 17:41:41 »

After developing a MAF problem, I started the hunt for a new MAF. In the end I searched ebay for the part # 0281002184 and I found something interesting......

The 2.6 MAF on the veccy is also the same part number and part as one found on some transit vans. I know this may not be much use to most people, however for testing or in my case price reasons, the transit MAF is a direct replacement. Also might make scrap yard trips easier!

Please don't ask me which vans have one of these on, I don't know. All I know is I searched for the part number, found one from a trany van, and it works well.

Hope this helps (someone)!

Omega General Help / Water Pump - Where to buy?

« on: 13 November 2009, 14:33:32 »

I have seen and read a few threads about there being really cheap and nasty water pumps out there. Where can I get a decent one from? Or what makes to avoid/buy?

I could buy from VX but £70 is a bit steep. Vaux World do them for £20, but I don't want to buy a problem.

Thanks in advance.

(Opps nearly forgot 2.6 v6)

Omega General Help / Opening boot with no in-car electrics!

« on: 03 August 2009, 17:42:59 »

OK so I made a bit of a silly mistake, didn't pop the boot before I started taking the electrics out of the Omega.

Is there anyway to pop the boot? I'm thinking cut into the wires and stick a 12v supply to them, question is, which wires?

If you feel this shouldn't be posted in a public forum, please pm me.

Thanks Dave

Omega General Help / 2.2 Owner Needed to Test something......

« on: 30 July 2009, 10:34:32 »

Please can a 2.2 owner try this...

The normal pedal test doesn't seem to work on the 2.2's, we know this well but I had a simular problem with 1.9cdti zafira today. Pedal test didn't appear to work. However, changing things a little and I got a code.

OK, turn key until dash lights up. Then press and hold acc+brake down. On the Zaf, the Milometer changed display to ECM and then rotated between the codes on the bottom line. THE EML DOES NOT FLASH.

I suspect this won't work, but it's worth trying.

Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / Omega Parts for FREE (Well nearly)

« on: 20 October 2010, 21:15:08 »

I have a few Omega bits left and I want my garage back. I've tried ebay a couple of times and they haven't gone so I think it's time to get rid regardless.

Taken from a facelift Omega Saloon paint code z489 or z479 (sorry can't remember).

I have.....
Rear offside light, slight crack but doesn't let water in
Complete boot lid (carpet, lights, badges etc)
Bonnet (No grill)
A pair of illuminated sun visors.
Wing mirrors (offside black plastic cracked and mark on outer skin)
Xenon style headlight switch unit, (IE no headlight level adjust) could probably do with a new knob.
Steering wheel with airbag & squib, not the bestest condition, marks on the wheel.

The price is easy, everything is FREE collected, well nearly, what I am asking is that you make a donation to OOF, I'm not specifying amounts and it will be based on trust. I won't/can't be bothered posting stuff out. It just isn't worth my time.

Please don't take the mick, only take stuff you need yourself, not stuff you want to sell on. Please don't request stuff, as/if I find more, I'll either add it to this thread or create a new one.

I would ask that this is limited to members with 50 messages and have been a member for over 2 mths (I'm doing this to stop people signing up just to grab a freebie, I want you guys to benefit). It's first come first served, by the same token, unless otherwise agreed, it needs to be collected in 7 days, or it will be re-advertised.

Thanks for looking,

Dave

I am after 2 x lambda plugs from a 2.6, the 4 pin ones. I only need the plugs, so has anyone got some old lambda sensors they can cut the plugs off and sell/send to me?

Thanks for reading.

Cars for Sale & wanted / WTD Omega Facelift (TD or LPG)

« on: 23 August 2010, 17:34:13 »

Not been on here for sometime and I thought I might change that.

I am looking for a mig for me! The list....
Must be either 2.5TD or a v6 with LPG. (Would prefer 2.6/3.2 to 2.5/3.0).
Must be manual.
Apart from that I'm pretty easy on colour/spec/mileage. Ideally would like an estate with a towbar, but by no means a necessity.

I have two budgets, depending on which way I go. If I go the TD route, then the budget will be around £1k, if I can get a late v6 with lpg, then the budget increase to £2k.

So what do you have? It will need to be available to be taken away this week.

Hello,

Do you by any chance have a personal number plate? If so I might have been following you less than an hour ago on the outskirts of Chesterfield.

Not going to post reg incase it wasn't you and if it wasn't - it should be your plate!
