Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: CD Changer Problem

« on: 12 September 2008, 04:07:43 »

What model stereo / changer are you playing with?

The changer (whatever the version) is not compatable with CDR/RW discs and the varying thicknesses of them may cause the unit to jam and show NO DISC.

If you only bought the car yesterday, have you asked the previous owner how he got around the problem?

Hi Dave. I have an SC804 head unit which works fine. Its the CD changer thats bugging me. Its got power, ejects fine and recognizes that discs are loaded. However, it doesnt seem to want to play any of the discs. Please help/advise. Thanks.

Hello. I am experiencing that it is sometimes hard to steer my Omega (X30XE) specially when not in motion or when I am just about to turn from a astand still position. But while driving it becomes soft but so much. Is my steering pump the culprit or are there other factors which might cause this. Please help. Thanks.

Omega General Help / Blanking EGR

« on: 09 February 2011, 22:41:06 »

Hi. My ride is a 1997 3.0 MV6. The check engine light turns on from time to time especially when in traffic. Scanned it using Tech II (I have my own at home) and it says EGR.  After clearing it the light goes off. My question is : If I blank the EGR, what effects will it have on emission and over-all performance?
TIA

This morning I scanned the MV6 and got a fault which says :

Knock Signal Circuit 1  - Present

After I clear the code the check engine light disappeared.

What exactly does this mean? Does it have something to do with the knock sensors?
Thanks in advance for the help.

« on: 28 November 2010, 07:44:00 »

Hi. What are the effects of removing the CATS on a 3.0 v6 MV6? Mine is a gonner and replacing it is a bit pricey. Am thinking of replacing them with straight thru pipes. No issues about MOT since we dont have this here in the Philippines. Also what does it mean "blanking the EGR". What are the effects?Appreciate the comments. Thanks.
