Omega Electrical and Audio Help / No windscreen vent

« on: 09 January 2013, 20:38:47 »

Hi guys, bit of help if I can?

Mini facelift 2.0 16V with electronic climate (CDX model). I cannot get the vents to alter from their position and the recirc appears to be not working. It goes click behind the dash when activated, and the speed alters slightly, but that is all. If you press the windscreen button, the fan speeds up, etc...., but the direction does not change.

Hot and cold work fine, a/c works, etc..... I also get the -- on the temp displays when turning the ignition off for about 2-3 seconds.

I have tried to do a reset using the Auto and Off buttons, but it just turns it all off and does nothing else, no matter how long you hold them for.

I did have the control panel apart to change all the lighting bulbs, would that have upset something?

It is getting dangerous now as I have no blow to the windscreen and it mists up quickly when driving down the road.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Autodimming Mirrors

« on: 06 January 2013, 16:56:46 »

I have been rummaging through the maintenance guides and noted the one for retrofitting the auto-dimming interior mirror, but it states that it is for the facelift model.

Question? Will the later facelift mirror, or one from a Zafira B physically fit onto the mount of a mini-face-lift Omega? Wiring will not be a problem, just want to make sure it will fit before getting one.

Newbie Welcome Area / New owner

Hi guys, thought I would put a quick post up and say hello.

Just picked up a nice little 1997-8 2.0 CDX Estate auto with the X20XEV engine and 65k on the clock in Midnight Black. Owned by a friend for 2 years and an old boy from 6 months old prior to that until he retired from driving.

Having worked at a Vauxhall main dealer until 4 months ago when I was made redundant, I know a fair bit about the old Vauxhall cars and have a Cavalier X20XEV with the autobox as well as a few other cars.

Just got to spend the next couple of days going through the to-do list, dash bulbs on the climate control, exhaust heat shield rattle, check-strap click, etc.... and it should be on the road on Wednesday.
