Omega General Help / AC, Heating, matrix - OOF helped!

« on: 17 January 2010, 14:57:51 »

Sorry for posting it here, but I had to:)
Yey!!!!!
Huuuurrrraaaayyyy!
Gues what? If anyone else near Brum has heating issues, PM Wellung666 and he'll save you from doom (and your car from scrapping) !!!!
Lee has pulled all the pipes out (there were like million of them), flushed the damn thing, connected it all back and 10 minutes later the temp inside was like the one you have on Carabbean!!!
Plus I've finally learnt what does that mean to "flush" the matrix and how all that mess really connects together.
THANKS A LOT MATEY (and I'll probably see you soon with the exhaust thingy:) )
Also great thanks to Entwood, RobG, Lazydocker and anyone who pointed me in the right direction!
OOF rulezzz:)

Omega General Help / Heating/AirCon problem

« on: 11 January 2010, 21:35:52 »

Hi all.
I'm coming back to you guys ith my AirCon prob, as I've done the vac pipe test and here what are the results:
1. theres no water comin from the HBV vac pipe hole - which is a good sign
2. there was some heat comin on, but only if I keep the engine on the high revs
3. Entwood suggests, that this could be "a reverse flush of the heater matrix", but first I'd need to check if the rest of the HBV pipes are warm or cold. The unfortunate is, that the HBV location is slightly different (less visible and accessable) than shown on the guide.

any other ideas please ??

Omega General Help / Air Con blows cold air ONLY!!!

« on: 04 January 2010, 22:29:30 »

Hi all!
Here's the thing. Couple a weeks back I had the problem with headgasket, which now is solved (needed to spend a lot of money though).
From this time AirCon blows cold air only, no matter what setting I'm having it on. There's no error code, service or engine light comin on. I took it back to the garage and had the car was checked again to eliminate any air locks (cushions), we checked the pressure and thermostate (all ok) and valve was changed. I've also changed the pollution filter. Still no result. Is it possible, that the system needs re-setting (probably at VX garage) because the battery was off for 2 weeks? And what else could I do, before I run out of patience and scrap the vehicle?
I'd be gratefull for any suggestions!

Omega General Help / Auto GearBox goes bananas

« on: 21 May 2009, 23:31:32 »

Yeah...
I can't get this one now:
For some time now Auto GB changes from 2nd to 3rd gear at round 1500-1750rpm, and some times runs and "screams" like crazy for 10-15 secs at 2200-2500rpm before shifting up. Why?? (Just for the record - never done anything with GB before)

Omega General Help / Multiple probs - crap with cars:((

« on: 17 May 2009, 15:37:49 »

Hi all!
I'm new here, and really don't know where to start from.
First of all I'm running 2.2 Auto CD, X reg, LPG converted (Leonardo).
Couple a weeks ago I noticed a great increase in Gas consumption. It takes now about 35 ltrs to do a 100 miles (comparing to 20 ltrs before).

Besides, at the start, the enginge's choking and going dead. The only that helps is to switch to gas immediately after start. That unfortunately disables me from running on petrol. Spark plugs, oil filter and oil have been changed 10 months ago (not even 5 000 miles done from then), the car has a brand new battery, cambelt still got 20 000 to go.

I've heard a different stories bout Leonardo system (LPG) - in general being described as poor. Anyone any idea on that? If I wanted to change it for a new one, how can I make it happen, who's doin it and what's the cost? I live in B'ham (Selly Oak).

Also last year I spun on the rounabout and hit the wall. Had to change both tie rods, but didn't manage to get a new (second hand) front bumper and right head lamp. Where can I get them as chippest as possible from?

Sorry for all the problems I'm putting on you, but right now only one sentence rings in my head: "Help me OMEGA OWNERS FORUM. You're my only hope".

Cheers
Adrian

Omega General Help / Collant level - refilling every 2-3 weeks. Why?

« on: 21 May 2009, 21:46:41 »

In the past 2 months I've had to refill cooling tank every 2-3 weks. Does anybody have any idea what could be the reason? I've checked all the pipes, theres no leak and engine's not getting overheated either (keeps between 80-90 degrees as usual).
THX for any hints

Newbie Welcome Area / Love my CAR, (nonetheless)...:))

« on: 17 May 2009, 16:25:57 »

Hi there!
I'm the Omega owner for over 2 years (2.2 Cd Auto, LPG converted, X reg) and I'm really pleased with it, except for the fact, that myLPG system is really old, and I really don't know how to improve it. Recently my gas consumtion increased dramaticly.

I was trying to see what the problem is with the help of my friend, when out of nowhere the gentlemen in his 50s approached us and handed me a laminated leaflet about this forum. So... I'm just popping in to say HELLO to everyone:)
