Omega General Help / Spark plugs....

« on: 27 December 2008, 20:50:21 »

[size=12]Just wondering what sort of spark plugs are most popular for a mv6?
Not sure whats in it at the mo.
Due to fit a set of 10mm fuelcat ht leads.
I did have a set of iridiums in my old v6 sri vectra, but heard they're not the best for an omeag.
Is this right?
Or are there better ones out there??[/size]

Omega General Help / Air intake......

« on: 05 August 2008, 13:30:49 »

Just wondering if anybody else had done this mod to their miggy?
I've cut the air pipe in the air box, and removed the plastic exit tube also.
Just wondered if anyone had done this, and whether you'd noticed any difference?
I did it as part of the 3 pipe mod on my vectra.
Just seeing what bits i can do the same on my miggy.

Omega General Help / Speedo twitching...

« on: 12 July 2008, 12:59:45 »

I seem to have a problem with the speedo and rev counter in my mv6.
Neither of them work, but the speedo has a twitch, what causes this?
It's in for it's mot next week, so need to sort.
The car ticks over fine, so i don't think it's the alternator, and i've tried pushing the dash back in, ans that doesn't change anything.
Any help would be appriciated.

Omega General Help / Upgrade brakes??

« on: 24 July 2008, 07:33:17 »

I'm looking at upgrading my brakes all round.
Been quoted about £175 for standard parts, but after searching the net, i have found s full set of black diamond drilled and grooved discs with pads for about £325.
Just wondering if any one has got a set of these fitted?
Or if anyone has got a different set fitted?
Or, is it work upgrading?
As the brakes have to be pretty good in the first place??

Omega General Help / performance backbox/exhaust??

« on: 21 July 2008, 20:56:13 »

As the title goes, any idea's where one would buy a performance exhaust from?
I can't seem to find anywhere.
The only companies i can find are ones that will custom make one.
I'm looking at buying either a cat back system or just a good backbox.

Omega General Help / clocks

« on: 19 July 2008, 18:32:43 »

Believe it or not you don't need your dashboard clocks to be working for an mot pass!!
My rev counter doesn't work, and the speedo does a mean twitch.
I bought another set of clocks off ebay, but they are not the right ones for my miggy.
The colour of the plastic on the back of the clocks is different, and it has a couple of bulbs missing.[/img]

Omega General Help / Possible head gasket gone??

« on: 18 July 2008, 19:04:13 »

I think i have got a problem with my mv6.
I have owned the car about 4 weeks, hasn't been driven as its got no t & t.
I checked the oil on day of purchase, cap and dip, both were clear and fine, looks like it had an oil change in the previous months.
Replaced a few bits today, and thought, i know, i'll top up the water and check the oil before the trip to the garage.
Water is fine, oil is fine, but when i lifted the oil cap, i almost fell over with shock!!!
There was quite a bit of mayo.
I've cleaned all the mayo from the top of the oil filler and everything seems fine.
There's no oil in the water, it isn't going down, the car isn't getting hot, and the oil on the dip stick is perfectly clear.
My question is, is this right??
I currently drive a v6 vectra until the miggy is on the road, and i've never had any problem with that.
I have noticed on a couple of pages on here, about mayo building up from short journeys?
I have started the car a few times since buying it, would that be the problem?
Any answers would be appreciated.

Omega General Help / Cruise control....

« on: 05 July 2008, 23:52:45 »

I have a 98 mv6, doesn't have cruise control, but would be interested in getting it installed.
How hard would it be to get installed?
What parts are required?
And, how big a job would it be?

Omega General Help / Paperclip test - Results

« on: 05 July 2008, 17:16:14 »

Hi everyone, i am after an answer with the above.
Just done the test, and got the results...
12 - 133 - 12.
Obviously the 12 is telling me the test has started, and 133 is the  Intake Manifold Valve 2 Voltage Low.
My problem is.... what is the "Intake Manifold Valve 2 Voltage Low"
Is it a simple job? or costly?
The only other job i've got to sort, is that my rev counter doesn't work, and not does my speedo, but it does a mean twitch  
Can anyone help??
Steve

Newbie Welcome Area / I'm back......

« on: 05 August 2010, 19:47:18 »

A few of you may remember me, i used to own a manual mv6 estate, but swapped that for a vectra gsi.
Well...
I still have the vectra, but i am in the process of buying another omega.
It will still be an omega estate, but won't have the same refinements as the previous car.
Will get some pics up when i pick it up next weekend, can't get it this weekend as i'm away at castle combe at the total vauxhall show

Newbie Welcome Area / Newbie...

« on: 05 July 2008, 15:35:30 »

Hi to all...
Eventually got all signed up.
I'm currently moving from a 2.5 V6 Sri vectra, into an omega mv6 estate (manual).
I'm new on here, i'm a regular on vectra-sport, but obviously thats not going to be for long, once the omega is on the road.
Got a few plans for her, once she's through the mot.
First off, it's going into the spray shop, then, it's having a custom exhaust, a K&N panel filter, lowered 35mm, and then, it'll be remapped.
I've been told that after thats done it should be nearly 300bhp...
Thats about 120 more than my vectra.
So, hopefully, once i get used to tinkering with my omega, i should be posting a few more threads on here.....
