Omega General Help / Brakes questions!

« on: 18 June 2009, 19:09:37 »

Hi there,

When I get paid the MV6 desperatly wants some new pads all round.

Firstly, is it just a case as with any other car of undoing the bleed nipple, prising apart the piston, removing and popping in the new pads? Both front and back.

Also do I need to replace any wear sensors or anything? (It hasn't hit them yet)

Omega General Help / Exhaust/ Aux Belt/ Diagnostics/ Key Fob / Brakes

« on: 30 May 2009, 22:45:13 »

4 Questions so I'll just roll it into one post. Car in question is a 3litre mv6 estate. Pre-facelift.

1. Cheapest place to get a passenger side exhaust, the bit from the clamp to the back box (the longer bit that has the silencer on it).

2. Aux belt, can you fit/unfit it without pulling everything apart? Say get it off the tensioner and just yank it out kinda thing?

3. How much does it cost to get my fault codes read? Anyone around Reading, Berkshire that does this service?

4. I have one dodgy key, the other doesn't have the immobiliser chip thing apparently. How much and WHERE can I get 2 brand spanking new keys made up?

5. Cheapest place to get disks + pads all round.

Omega General Help / PAS doesn't work (most of the time)

« on: 19 May 2009, 22:41:09 »

3ltr mv6 im buying off a mate.

He says the power steering doesn't work, but i've since found out it does work occasionally for short bursts. Someone has told him that the pump might be fine but infact its just some o-ring or something thats gone?

Anyone shed any light of this for me, its the first thing I want to fix (bloody heavy steering on these omegas!).

Omega General Help / Thinking of buying my first Omega

« on: 09 May 2009, 21:53:00 »

Hi there,

Thought this would be the place to ask.

A mate of mine has offered me a 3.0 v6 omega estate (R reg, whatever year that is!) Other than that I don't know anything about it just yet, no idea what the trim level etc is. But at some point I want to give it a good going over. I'm pretty good with cars but just wanted a heads up on any common faults that it would be worth looking out for, and if they're easy/cheap to fix etc.

Also the PAS is not working at the moment, assuming its a bust pump. How difficult are these to change?

Any advice would be great

Ta

Hello, picked up my mv6 on Friday. Done about 300miles, aside from the shocking economy (or lack of) I'm pretty happy. Only cost £700 notes!
