Omega General Help / Which engine do I need to replace my broken one?

« on: 26 March 2011, 11:05:44 »

Hi guys, unfortunately my 2000 model (fl) MV6 decided it was going to boil itself to death and then no longer want to turn over. I imagine rather than have a full rebuild, I would be better finding an engine from somewhere but I'm not entirely sure which ones fit and don't fit. It is a 3.0 MV6 Auto.

Help and advice much appreciated, thank you

Omega General Help / Random pipe at rear of engine.

« on: 20 January 2011, 14:44:20 »

Whilst doing the heater matrix flush today, I found a pipe just hanging around at the back of the engine, only connected at one end, but it was just out of reach at the back of the top of the engine. From the way it was able to be moved around, it seems it was connected to another pipe or something not fixed rigid. The other end, which I found, wasn't connected to anything. Pipe was maybe 1/4 inch diameter.

Is this anything I should be concerned about?

Thanks in advance.

Omega General Help / No heat fromheater

« on: 15 January 2011, 09:48:48 »

Hi Guys,
Had my MV6 a few days now, but only just noticed the heaters don't provide any heat at all.Is there anything I should be checking first?
The fans work, but the air coming through seems to be about the same as the outside temp. The coolant level is at max, the gauge sits in the middle (around 80).

Thanks in advance.

Omega General Help / Decatting and removing the middlebox on an MV6?

« on: 12 January 2011, 19:05:55 »

Hi Guys,
I bought a V6 because I like the sound. I'm not a boy racer or a chav etc, and was wondering if freeing up some of the delicious V6 sound by decatting and removing the middlebox has any consequences I should be aware of?
Any other suggestions also welcome.

Omega General Help / Should it have an LSD?

« on: 12 January 2011, 18:44:33 »

Hi Guys,
So I just got my Omega 3.0 MV6 Auto, and in an "experiment", it seems only one wheel spins. I assumed, maybe incorrectly that the MV6 had an LSD. Can anybody shed any light on this.

Love the car so far although it sounds like I have a leaky vacuum hose somewhere, and it smells a bit hot after a gentle drive.

Hello folks, just joined the forum as I have purchased an Omega MV6 auto.
Off to have a look around the site now, in the meantime, and possibly a stupid question, but why do some models of Omega have (LT) in the description?

Cheers
