Omega Electrical and Audio Help / MAF SENSOR CLEANING?

« on: 19 March 2010, 21:23:29 »

Hi, Is it possible to clean the MAF Sensor as I've had a Piper Cross Filter fitted which was oiled and may have got on to the Sensor?

          Thanks,
                    Pete.

The facelift has variable heat settings.... 

Would investigate switch and wiring before using again, TBH...

     Ah, didn't know that , as they say, "You learn something new everyday"

My drivers leather seat gets very hot even on heat setting 1 untill it burns me & smells like the car is about to catch fire. Where is the thermostat?
The pass 1 is fine.

    :-? They only work on an on off switch as far as I'm aware.

I haven't been near the car for a week or so as i think it hates me , but went out yesterday and turned on the ignition and everything was working again :-?, really don't understand what's going on with this car, seems to have a mind of it's own .

         Think I'll call it [size=16]CHRISTINE[/size] .


  Does anyone know what fuse 15 does in the fusebox under the steering column?

Sorry, misinterpreted part of your first post Have you checked the fuses in the relay box

  Yes Rob have checked all the fuses in both fuse boxes, the one under the bonnet and under the steering column and they look OK to me so am at a loss as to why i have no dash warning light or electric windows .

 PS. I did notice that when i was sat looking at the dash with the engine running before i sparked the relay removing it that the battery light came on so i switched off and restarted and it went out, don't know if this means anything :-/.

Fuse #1 & #7 in cabin fusebox control windows. Both 30A.
Have you checked the fusible links by the battery :question

    Thanks Rob I'll check the fuses again but seemed OK to me :-/.

 As for the fusible links aren't they in the smaller fuse box which i don't have :question.

Hi, I did a stupid thing whilst changing a fan relay in the under bonnet fuse/relay box, i forgot to turn off the ignition .

 It sparked when i removed it using a screwdriver to prise it up and when i replaced it and went back to the ignition I'd lost all the dash warning lights and electric windows :-?.

 Thinking it was a fuse i checked them and found a 15amp had blown in the box under the steering column, changed it but still no lights or windows .

 I have the earlier model with just the one fuse/relay box under the bonnet, so can anyone tell me what's gone pop :question.

      Thanks,
                 Pete .

« on: 15 November 2009, 23:14:21 »

I seem to remember someone having about the same symptoms as yours ... Pete Elite it was maybe ... let me try to find the post and maybe there could be a solution to your problem 
 

Does the engine start fine?

   
 Yes as Ziad says i had the same problem but could only find one 15amp fuse blown in the box under the column but after changing it there was no difference :-?.
 I had had enough for one day so left it until the next, but when i went out and switched on the ignition all was well again, "very strange" .

  If yours is still the same try removing a battery connection for 1/2 an hour and refit it and see if it resets :-/.
 
       HTH,
             Pete .

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Fuel cap release not acting on central locking

« on: 13 October 2009, 00:23:53 »

Any ideas on this one folks?  When car is locked, fuel flap remains insecure and cap can be accessed by just flipping the flap open-the locking pin is not active.

Going to be parking in some dodgy areas across Europe soon and could do with sorting this asap!

  If your worried about someone nicking your fuel then it may be worth investing in a locking fuel cap if you haven't got one .

If it's as difficult to syphon from an Omega as it is from an Astra G I wouldn't worry. I tried all sorts of tubeing to get to the fuel of her Astra (we wouldn't want the disposing scrap yard to have the problem of disposing of the fuel too  ) this morning. I never ever reached the fuel, and there was half a tank or so in there.
It did donate most of it to my Omega in the end though via its fuel pump/schrader valve/length of tubing/piece of wire across the fuel pump relay base     

If they really wanted your fuel, they'd stick a hole through the bottom of your plastic fuel tank.   :-?  :-?  :-?

  Its like anything though Andy, if they really want it they'll get it but a visual deterrent such a locking cap may at least put off the lazy crook who will just move onto one that doesn't have one :-/.
