I am looking for a new autobox. I'm aware that there are two different types for the omega.

Omega General Help / Autobox

« on: 04 August 2010, 17:58:06 »

Have just removed engine from my v6. Managed to seperate the box from the engine, just wondering how the torque convertor comes of?
Looks like the starter is in the way but that doesn't want to come off either!!
Must have missed something really simple!! Please help

Omega General Help / Breathers

« on: 27 April 2010, 10:04:31 »

Have just noticed my 3.0 running badly. After running it around town i've just pulled the dipstick up and there is a lot of smoke coming from it, and also opened the oil filler cap and this was doing the same.
Would this point to the breathers being blocked?
She's also started drinkling a lot of coolant, but no signs of water in the oil and no oil in water could this be connected?

Omega General Help / Omega Elite Headlights

« on: 19 March 2010, 12:15:17 »

Have just had my omega telling me about the headlight/field not being right.
Now I belive this to be that the self leveling lights are working. But I can here the motor trying to work.
Is it possible they are stuck? As had a very heavy trailer on the back of the car recently.
Is there a way to clean the motor up? Or whats the best way to lube them??

Omega General Help / V6 Engine

« on: 10 March 2010, 14:00:56 »

I have a 99 3.0 v6, getting pretty fed up with getting the rocker gaskets done. Do all the v6's suffer from the same fate? Was thinking about up grading to the 3.2.
Has anybody tried this? Is it and easy conversion??

Omega General Help / Couple of Issues

« on: 08 January 2010, 23:21:56 »

Finally managed to finish fitting the new coil pack last night!! What a B of a job!! Hands are still bleeding now!!
At least she runs much better and I can now play in the snow with her!!
1st problem, I seem to be left with a loose breather pipe. Can't seem to find where it goes? Is there a breather from gearbox or crank that would be open at one end?
Also have got a leaking front washer jet on the passenger side. Is this an easy swap?
Finally how do the fan controlls come out as it seems that the bulb has gone. Can see the numbers in the sun, but only just!!
Thanks
