Omega General Help / Re: My car thinks it's 68 degrees outside!
« on: 19 February 2010, 10:34:53 »Quote
Hi all,
Just driving home from work this evening, got the customary flashing waring of 0.5 degrees outside on the mid... however, on the way home, it started reading 68 degrees! Varies up and down a couple of degrees, but of course, the climate control thinks its hot outside, so have to crank that up to keep warm
Engine temperature is normal, car appears to be running okay.
Figure its the outside temperature sensor up the creek - firstly, can anyone tell me where it is on the Omega (and is it easy to change), and secondly, does it sound like the right symptoms, and thirdly, how much should I be paying?
Thanks in advance!
I wish it was 68 degrees outside

Omega General Help / Re: mig 2.5 manual box.
« on: 14 October 2008, 00:49:49 »Quote
clutch feels fine, no shudders, no crunching gears. just difficult selecting the gears as if missing the gate. Is there a drain plug to empty box so I can change oil ?
ARH1
Yep drain plug and refill plug. Peice of cake, IIRC it takes in the region of 1.6 litres, but do double check

I had the same problem. Replaced the clutch - no massive improvement (although it did help, and was an easy job. Guide on here).
Changing the box oil was a significant help (It really is worth doing, if you use the right oil from VX - you will notice an improvement, and it's an easy job.)
Also bleed the clutch system, using an easibleed attached to the gearbox nipple, forcing fluid back to the tank.
In a nutshell, I would, in this order
1) Bleed hydraulic cluch system
2) replace gearbox oil
3) check out the clutch...
Any slip or drag, or judder on pulling away?

When you did the cambelt, did you get it one tooth out?
Easy to do if you've not done many, and can make a difference.
Also, check that there are no vacc leaks.
If all checks out well, just remind yourself it's a 4 pot engine in nearly a 2 tonne car, and get a V6

Omega General Help / Re: Oil Leak - but where?
« on: 17 September 2008, 19:59:54 »
doesn't taste sweet, and no coolant loss. The oil, coolant, ATF levels are all spot on and not dropping. PAS has lost about a quarter of the reservior over the last couple of thousand miles, but WHAT is dripping off the bellhousing - unless it's getting swept backwards? :-/
Just to add there is no tray under this engine.. .never was...

Omega General Help / Re: AR25 Auto box selector shaft seal
« on: 30 August 2008, 23:57:29 »
Is this where the threaded selector bit comes out and goes through the selector switch? How bad is the leak?
