Omega General Help / Strange smell in the cabin

« on: 23 September 2011, 03:38:59 »

Good morning to all, I went to work at 02:30, 50 miles to get there and after some 15 miles strange smell started to.come into the cabin. I can't describe or compare it to anything I know but it's just like I'm carrying around some medical stuff, such a clean sharp odor maybe with some freshly done metal smell in it....I thought it's HBV but no coolant is missing, I had heating on eco, 22 degreess and drove arround 100 mph all the time on motorway. The odor is still present in the cabin now. Anyone knows what makes that smell? Thanks in advance

Omega General Help / Re: HELP got an annoying rattle/knocking on my 3.0l

.....I drive four pot but have the same issue. And the rattle stops when presing the brake pedal even just a little. Checked heat shields and breakes - nothing found so I'm confused  :-/

Mine does this sometimes - turned out to be the handbrake pins (that hold the shoes in place inside the drums) have pulled loose, and they catch on the drums sometimes.

I also bet on that or broken disc at first but I've  found this fault then.

Is it a bang or a grind? Guessing something has happened to then rear pads...  :-/

Left drive axle "knuckle" (i hope this is the expression for it) is going...Sad, how could I ruin it with 2.0 grinder?!?  :-?

CV joint?? Very rarely fail

I know, but it makes that sound. Discs and pads are new, we disassembled everything and it clicks inside :-/

Omega General Help / Banging while breaking...?

« on: 12 September 2011, 12:49:43 »

Last week I posted a tread about banging noise coming out from under the car when driving over small bumps on the road. Today I heard "bang" coming from rear breakes every time I press break pedal....I'm going to my  mechanic now but I would like to know if this had happened to anyone and what could it be? I can work on the engine but I'm not playing with brakes, no way. Thanks

Omega General Help / Re: strange gearbox issue???

« on: 05 September 2011, 16:20:25 »

Agree with the last post, had the same issue on beamer and focus. Also check if your clutch pedal have any "free space" on the way up. Push it down and pust it up towards the dash, like pumping do this few times, check the fluid level and maybe your clutch cylinder is going so you could have a leak somewhere. Add fluid if missing, pump the clutch pedal and that shift gear. Should work

Omega General Help / Leaking from...?

« on: 02 September 2011, 15:20:47 »

My omega has leak in this place since I bought her. It's  at the top front just on the plastic under the belt.  I think there is a "semering"(I"ll try to find translation for this german word we use) leaking and needs to be replaced but don't know if there is some well known particular leaking issue on 2.0 grinder on this part of the engine. Any help apreciated
