Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Ecu chip
« on: 24 February 2012, 07:00:25 »
does changing the ecu chip need any set up or is it a straight swap for original? as i have an up grade chip to fit. have checked out the thread on changing it and seems easy?  ???

have now run the car on the road up to temp, with vacuum pipe off hbv and blocked up heat seems a little better but still not right. can the hbv valve fail open? as this may explain the lack of heat.

Omega General Help / heating problem
« on: 18 December 2011, 16:55:37 »
hum where do i start!   am not getting much heat in to the car, things that i have done as follows.
checked vacuum to hbv valve when heating turned down to low i have a vacuum but not at any other time.
have reset climate control unit auto/off 5 seconds and all sounds good.
when switches in side selected to footwell, screen and centre vents all blow ok and as selected.
eco and recir seem to work also but still no different, no heat or bearly luke warm.
disconnected heater matrixs and flushed back wards no dirt just sparkly clean water.
when car run to operating temp the pipes in to the matrix seem hot top and bottom.
i am running a cooler stat 82 c i think, on a 3.0 mv6 auto i have run the car up to temp, reading 90 c on dash i now that this is not that accurate but still reckon i should be seeing more heat out of the vents?
is there a servo valve that operates a flap to the heater matrix?
any ideas on this problem would be greatly appreciated as i am freezing to death slowly and also getting severe ear ache from the mrs and kids
 :(

just found this from the department of transport Fact sheet: Aftermarket HID headlamps

December 2006

In the Department's view it is not legal to sell or use after market HID lighting kits, for converting conventional Halogen headlamps to HID Xenon
 there was a lot more info on this.

so guess thats it will stick with the standards and up grade to get a cleaner ice look  :'(

was thinking of a hid conversion kit with 6000k to replace the H1's in there at the moment but would match the dip beam bulbs also.

hi any one know what K rating the original dip beam bulbs are as i am looking to change my main beam with an up grade kit but would like to match them. also what is the difference between say 5000K and 8000k does 8000K mean brighter? :-\

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / speedo failed
« on: 16 February 2010, 11:17:00 »
have a 99 mv6 3.0l and have lost my speedo, and pas has got really light, there are no warning lights that have come on. when i used a scanner no fault code found, any one got any ideas or could it be the dreaded abs/tc ecu (aaahhhh). i had this repaired about 6 months ago when my abs and tc failed also had an intermitent speedo fault as well, but has run fine since.
