Omega General Help / Climate Control

« on: 10 September 2012, 22:47:41 »

And here was me thinking I had all the bugs ironed out of my Climate System 
I have a 1997 Omega Elite, I noticed today with climate temp set to 19 the air was cold, I increased the temp to 22 as it was a cold day but after 5 mins thought bloody hell it's still cold in here, to cut a long story short the only way to get hot air through any vents was to set the temp to HI only the climate control. I had this problem before on a VW and it was a broken wire on the sensor on top of the dash.
I also noticed the wooden trim surrounding the 4 round climate control buttons was very hot to the touch.
I just want to get any input on this before I go dismantling the dash yet again!!

General Car Chat / HPi check info

« on: 31 January 2012, 23:34:33 »

Am selling a car and got email from someone asking for Reg,chassis number and V5 number ?
Is it normal for the V5 number to be needed for an HPi check ?
Had a lot of blank V5's stolen in Northern Ireland so I'm just being sceptical or am I worrying for no reason ?

Thanks

Omega General Help / Bad Rust On My 1996 Omega

« on: 28 January 2012, 11:39:14 »

Hi got some real bad rust on the doors of my Miggy and wondering if any of you body workers could advise on killing rust.
Also if anyone in Northern Ireland knows somewhere I could maybe get newer doors, paint code is Z282.
Also are doors off a facelift exactly the same as a pre-facelift, mounting holes for door panels in exact same places etc.

Thanks for any help.

Omega General Help / Heater only blowing Luke warm at 90+ degrees

« on: 15 January 2012, 23:22:34 »

Hi got into car tonight outside temperature was 5 degrees. Drove for 10 miles and gauge only rose to first mark on gauge (85 degrees ?)
After 12 miles it rose to 90-92.5 degrees.
The problem I had was the air coming out windscreen vents was only warm not hot and temperature on climate was set to high.
I turned the climate control to low and temperature stayed the same Luke warm.
I am also getting no air at all from dash vents.

Am planning on removing climate panel to replace bulbs and check sampling fan but am curious as why engine temp took so long to climb and temp inside was only Luke warm, could the thermostat be acting up ? It was replaced 14k miles ago but that was in 2008 previous owner did very few miles in last 3 years car sat about for days at a time not being used.

Any help appreciated want to get car back to the way she should be
