Omega General Help / engine note!

« on: 01 April 2009, 20:36:12 »

The 2.5 cdx pre face lift I had used to have the V6 sounding engine note to it if you can understand that? but my face lift 2.6 MV6 sounds silky smooth. Is this down to the exhaust system?

Omega General Help / heater control buttons?

« on: 24 March 2009, 21:15:44 »

When you adjust the drivers heater control button shouldn't the passengers adjust at the same time without the need to reach across?
Cheers......

« on: 15 February 2009, 16:26:21 »

I've an ammount of condensation behind one headlight and there's no apparent reason for it to be there. I've removed the rubber cap from behind the cluster and removed the sidelight bulb too annd had the lights on aswell. Is there anything else I could do?.

Omega General Help / timing belt and what else?

« on: 10 December 2008, 19:13:30 »

Good evening people...
last time i had my timing belt changed at the main dealers 18 months ago they pointed out i had a slight water leak from somewhere that was only visible while taking car apart. cant remember what they said it was.  As it'll be due for a belt  change again within the next 10k i'd rather have that leak seen to at the same time so any ideas what this could be and if so do i need to be a pimp to my wife to earn extra cash to pay for it?

Omega General Help / If it not one thing its another

« on: 09 May 2008, 08:46:43 »

As the title says. Thought i'd have a go at changing the drop links "oh what a bugger of a job to remove" when i noticed  unusual tyre wear to the inside tread (off side of vehicle) where the tread is ok for most of the way around then goes to nothing. i think this may have something to do with the vibration i get under speed? so people why has my tyre worn like this? dont want to put on a new one just to go the same way...

Omega General Help / Vibration at speed?

« on: 21 April 2008, 19:10:31 »

As the title says you guys i get a vibration as soon as i get around 80 mph and it travels through the whole car and up through the seat too.
Had the wheels balanced to no avail. very uncomfortable ride. all speeds upto 80 are as smooth as you like...
any ideas people?..........

Omega General Help / Rough running..

« on: 06 April 2008, 18:56:01 »

Hello...
 I placed a thread a week or so ago reguarding a miss-fire/ juddering that only appeared when it had been raining whilst going up through the gears... However its now started when doing 70 on the motorway which is very worrying...I had the cam covers, plugs, leads and fuel filter changed a month or two ago so does this appear to be the dis-module on its way out?
     Cheers....

« on: 28 February 2008, 16:57:04 »

Omega General Help / Juddering

« on: 21 February 2008, 08:49:26 »

Had the plugs, leads, fuel filter and Cam covers changed a few weeks ago and since then its started to "Judder" under load. unless its just a coincidence (did i spell that right?) it would appear while its raining or after a down pour. Do i have an Iffy dis pack that doesn't like the damp or shouldi be looking elsewhere?
     cheers..
