Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Rear fog lights and mirrors dont work

« on: 23 November 2009, 22:09:07 »

the fog lights would think it was the relay, dose it click when you put them on, the others i would think were relays, the black one under drivers steering wheel, the fog light one is there to but off and cannot remeber wich one they are, or just or, the fuse is cracked not blown cracked dose happen some times, check them on a meter.

Switching on the rear foglight does make a click and it lights the lamp symbol on the dash, but the click doesnt come from any of the relays under the steering wheel. Its somewhere inside the dashboard...

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Rear fog lights and mirrors dont work

« on: 22 November 2009, 10:25:33 »

On my -95 omega estate (german) the rear fog lights dont work. They are the double bulbs at the bottom of the row of bulbs on both sides, right? Same bulb as the regular rear light... The button does light up like it should. All fuses in the fusebox are fine. Some are missing, but I think they have never been there.
Also the electric mirror heating and aiming doesnt work. The button for the mirrors on the door does light up when heating should be on, but they dont defrost, neither does the rear window btw... The button on the dash for the rear screen heater does light up. I haveto adjust the mirrors by hand through the windows.
Somehow it feels like the problems might be related, but I have no idea of where to start looking without a wiring schematic of some sort.
Does anyone have any experience with some of these symptoms?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Cruise control not working.

The wire that goes to the cruise button on the indicator stalk might be cut, from years of using the stalk. It should be visible if you pull out the rubber surrounding it a bit.
Or cable to cruise actuator broken...
I have seen both these things happen.

Omega General Help / Re: 3 litre clutch problem

« on: 21 April 2009, 10:56:51 »

A ratlle on startup is the DMF....a rare failure as they are pretty bullet proof on the Omega (although they get a little slack with age)

I was afraid of that. Can that cause the clutch to not disengage fully?
I believe the rattling noise and clutch problem started at about the same time.
Fixable? Buy used? New expensive?

Yes the brake fluid bottle was full.
How about the clutch rattling when starting. That makes me think it might be something worse...

Omega General Help / 3 litre clutch problem

« on: 20 April 2009, 22:08:11 »

My manual omega has developed a real problem with the clutch now. It doesnt disengage enough to get the gears changed smoothly.

Also there is a rattling sound when the pedal is pressed to the floor. Theres also the same rattle when starting the car, just as it fires up.
Sometimes i can feel the rattle in the clutch pedal.
The car also judders at 2000rpm...

I did a search about this and found something about dual mass flywheels breaking up. Would that be something that is going on here?
Im not sure what the DMF is for and how it could break.
What can or should be done about it?

btw, it tried bleeding the clutch without improvement.

Omega General Help / Re: Gearbox error 41

« on: 13 March 2008, 14:00:12 »

Another thing. The gearbox oil temperature reads -40 degrees.
Is this sensor supposed to be correct, and does it affect anything when it is wrong? Same reading on my friends -96 Omega.

Thanks.

For example, the ECU is expecting the torque converter to be locked up but it freewheels when you lift off.  :-/

That is what exactly what is happening, but why?
Could it just be wrong type or crappy oil?
But it only happens in sport mode...

Omega General Help / Gearbox error 41

« on: 11 March 2008, 17:47:59 »

When engine braking from over 100km/h in sports mode i get this error every time.
It doesnt happen from slower speeds, and not in economy mode.

Opelscanner had this to say about it.
But what does this actually mean? Whats broken?

Omega General Help / Re: Coolant temperature

« on: 10 March 2008, 16:23:30 »

 TheBoy, would you happen to know anyone who has access to such flash files? Or can the file be downloaded from another Omega and flashed to this one? If the engine and transmission is the same of course...

There was a Eeprom output, and some hex numbers...
But the "load" button was greyed out, maybe it needs the "advanced" version of the software to be able to flash it.
Anyway i dont have any files to flash it with...

Omega General Help / Coolant temperature

« on: 10 March 2008, 15:10:20 »

I just got my Opelscanner today. Seems to be working great!
I was wondering about the coolant temperature reading. The Engine ECU seems to think its 60-62 degrees C when dash meter is at 90-95C.
I would think the ECU value should be correct?
Would this indicate that someone has installed a "tuning-resistor", or is the temp sensor just faulty?
I was able to change the MID language also, but not change the engine type, I guess that needs a eeprom flash, and I dont have a file to flash...
Engine type is set to 021 manual, should be 020 auto.

Omega General Help / Re: Engine number

« on: 26 February 2008, 20:29:51 »

Engine number should be stamped here....

I know, i looked there and found this tag glued on instead:

What botheres me the most is not knowing what it means, who put it there and why?
But Im pretty sure its a regular X30XE from 1995.

Well it looks like this thread will go into history as unsolved...
I would really need to know what that number means so I can buy a suitable cambelt.
Hasnt anyone really ever seen a badge like this?

Saab engines are called B301i right? But this says B 1688 in the beginning, so i suppose it isnt that either...
Anyone seen or heard of a Opel/Vauxhall engine with a similar badge instead of the numbers stamped on the block?
Car is a -95 model AT .
