Omega General Help / V6 coolant leak at the rear, best way to remove the metal pipe?

« on: 26 March 2016, 13:41:50 »

Hello all

My car has developed a leak at the rear of the engine, and the only possible culprit i can see is the metal pipe.
I have been able to feel around all the hoses at the rear, and i feel no coolant, and it leaks down on the left side (passanger side for you in UK)
How can this pipe be taken off, is it possible withut removing the engine/gearbox?

Omega General Help / how to fix exhaust leak?

« on: 05 September 2015, 08:33:27 »

I have a big exhaust leak between the cat pipe and the manifold on the left side, not long back I changed the gasket, but soon after it started leaking again.
Should I try fitting a new gasket, and use exhaust paste? (didn't try exhaust paste last time)

Omega General Help / deep rumble from diff at high speed?

« on: 16 July 2015, 19:48:59 »

Hello

Was in Germany this holiday, and drove 170kph(about 105MPH) on the autobahn and noted a deep rumble coming from what I think was the diff, is this normal?
Car was also shaking pretty good at that speed.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Can one remove Automatic gearbox error on the MID?

« on: 16 June 2015, 20:56:51 »

Hello

I have changed from automatic to manual on my omega, but whats bothering me is that the MID always shows the automatic gearbox error (it goes away by itself after a few sec)
Does anyone know how this can be removed?
Is the MID itself looking for the gearbox?

Omega General Help / Radiators

« on: 10 June 2015, 21:50:12 »

Hi all

My radiator has started leaking in the plastic, so I need a new one
My car is a 97 3.0l with climate control, originally an automatic (but converted to manual)

Now that I need a new one, I want one that's for a manual and original gm
Does anyone know the GM number for one that's for a manual? (or does one only get 1 rad for all cars now)

Omega General Help / ABS ECU broken?

« on: 11 April 2015, 12:46:20 »

Hi

I've got a ABS/TC light in my dashboard, but speedo is fully functional (cruise control too if that matters)
a buddy if mine read out with a pc, witch led us to believe the ECU has failed (not tech 2)

The thing I'm wondering is, can the ECU have failed when the speedo is fully functional?

Opel Omega 3.0L 97"

Omega General Help / What differences are there? (timing belt x30xe)

« on: 25 June 2014, 21:24:30 »

Hello

I have got a "mid facelift" x30xe from 98 (long plenum type) in my car now, which needs a belt change
Will there be any issues using a timing belt from a pre facelift x30xe (taking from another engine that has just done 2000km)

Omega General Help / Change coolant bottle

« on: 21 June 2014, 19:09:35 »

Is there anyone on here that could think of another bottle that could fit the omega?
As what I have in mind would be in the way of the original one, and I'm not sure if there will be enough room to turn it either.

Omega General Help / 3,2 plenum on a 3,0 engine?

« on: 28 May 2014, 09:46:16 »

Hi

Can anyone tell me if the 3,2 plenum will fit on a 3,0l engine, will the throttle body from a 3,0l fit? (I know there will be no holes to fit the throttle wire bracket)

But am I right in thinking there is no holes for either EGR or Idle air control valve? (Which will be perfect for what I have in mind)

« on: 21 February 2014, 13:51:45 »

Hi all
I feel that I've got a bit much play in the steering wheel on my omega
What should i be looking at?

Also got much tracking which is scary combined with the steering play, but that comes down to alignment and tires, right?
