Omega General Help / 2.2 Petrol - P1130 Stored Mfr-spec Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) 1, bank 1 - ma

« on: 18 January 2014, 13:19:44 »

Is P1130 likely to be simple and mean what it says? (change the Lamba sensor)

Sensor one is pre CAT?

I've have look at wiring and all looks ok. Other than the EML light and this code no symptons to report.

Omega General Help / Alarm sounds if set when car hot

« on: 30 November 2013, 21:43:11 »

An unexpected side effect of my new (genuine) thermostat today is that now the car actually warms up if I set the alarm after a run it starts sounding after about 20 minutes. Leave it unlocked until its cool and it sets and stays silent.

It is the alarm horns not the power sounder sounding.

Any thoughts?

Omega General Help / 2.2 Petrol Misfire

« on: 27 October 2013, 09:41:19 »

Driving around town happily when I pull out onto a dual carriageway (with a slight uphill gradient) put my foot down and a lot of juddering and lack of moving forward accompanied by the EML.

Mange to limp the car home with it only wanting to pull away very slowly. (much horn and light action from other motorists!)

Reading the codes show:

P0302 Stored Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected

Checked plugs and no oil or water so took it for a drive around the block up to operating temperature - all ok to start with and beyond the point where it went closed loop. However once hot starts to misfire again, park up and can feel it every few seconds at idle so switch off.

Live data from the test drive available as a CSV if helpful, but all looks reasonable to me.

Any thoughts? I wonder about trying a new coil pack, but that is an expensive guess.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / CCR2006 Removal (almost there!)

« on: 30 July 2013, 12:45:05 »

So I finally have the CCR 2006 out - I think it must have been the connectors that were holding it as they pulled through the back of the cage and came out with the radio.

Now I can't get the cage out - it comes half way and they is stuck solid. I can't see any further tags etc - what am I doing wrong?

Omega General Help / Horn

« on: 28 July 2013, 09:37:33 »

Does anyone know how the twin horns connect?

I seem to have a wire which looks like it may have been the second horn, but with no connector.

Does anyone have a connector plug I can splice on?

Many thanks

Omega General Help / (another) Tyre Thread

« on: 02 May 2013, 12:15:35 »

One specific question - does the Omega Estate have to have 'XL" tyres?

Anyone have any experience or thoughts on:

Hankook Ventus Prime 2 K115 225/55 R16 99W XL (£105 each fitted) and what is currently on the front of the car.

or

Avon ZV5 225/55 R16 95W (£97.50 each fitted)

Many thanks

Omega General Help / 2.2 Petrol Radiator

« on: 29 April 2013, 21:14:23 »

Seems to have a small weep in the plastic end, drivers side. I imagine it will only get worse, so any recommendation for a good (and cheap) radiator? Or is this in the recommended VX only category?

Many thanks

Omega General Help / 2.2 Petrol timing belt questions

« on: 20 April 2013, 08:14:11 »

Now it's not quite so cold and wet I really must tackle this. I can't see a specific guide so a few questions.

Do I need a locking tool, or is that just V6?

What should I buy - I can get a Gates kit here for £78

http://www.vauxhallworldparts.com/vauxhall.php?partnumber=93174268&partid=803&ecode=&vid=21

Is this accepted as good, or should I be sticking genuine VX?

I see QH pumps refered to as ok, but I can't seem to find any. Are any of these reliable - FAI? Febbi Bilsteib? Comline? Or should I stick to VX?

Anything I should be aware of / watch out for?

Many thanks in advance.

Steve

Update: can get QH on eBay it seems http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/QH-WATER-PUMP-RC487239P-TO-FIT-OPEL-OMEGA-2-2-99-OE-QUALITY-/110924135851?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AOmega&hash=item19d397fdab

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / CCR2006 won't eject

« on: 14 March 2013, 19:59:19 »

Is this a known problem at all?

I get CDC error when I press the eject button.

Thought I would pop it out and take a look but that seems easier said than done - it won't budge!

Omega General Help / 2.2 Thermostat

« on: 02 February 2013, 19:32:50 »

Should I be going genuine GM? Popped in to local dealer today, but they only sell the whole housing with stat. £57.72 + £3.42 for the required gasket!

Are there any good third party ones? ( http://www.vauxhallworldparts.com/vauxhall.php?partnumber=90501081&partid=267 )

Can you not buy just the stat?

Many thanks
