Omega General Help / Windscreen Washer Nozzle

« on: 03 February 2007, 10:49:01 »

Hi all

Opel Omega B 2:0L CD 16v 1995 Estate LHD

Ok the washer nozzle on the passenger side has just been dribbling water for a while now, i have tried to clean the nozzles with a pin and also connected the pipe to a compressor and blasted air through it, in the hope off clearing it, all failed to clear it.
So i went out and brought a new one from Opel.

I went out to the car to replace it, only to find that the one on the car although looks the same as the new one from the top (outside of bonnet) underneath the bonnet the one on the car has 2 wires going to it and looks a fair bit bulkier that the new one. The new one has no wires on it.
I have not took the old one out yet as it will probably break when i do, but what are the wires for? does the new one sit in to the collar that the wires are connected to or have i brought the wrong part. Is the collar some sort of heater or something?

The Haynes book just says to disconnect the wires and press the tabs in to remove the nozzle.

Thanks for your replies

Hi Guys

Thanks for all the replies.

I have just adjusted the handbreak via the hole in the disk hub, poking a screw driver in the hole and turning the adjuster wheel. The handbreak comes up about 5 or 6 clicks now.

As for the idle, it might be too early to say, but i checked all the little hoses i could, and one of them did not seem to be on too well, so i pushed it all the way home and have just took the car out for a 10k run and it was fine, so i will have to see how it goes.

Thanks again

Tony

Omega General Help / My idel speed seems to be a bit wayward

Hi All

Car 95 Omega B estate LHD 2L 16v

My idel speed seems to be a bit wayward.
It started a few months ago whilst i had the car over in Ireland, when when leaving the motorway and the revs drop down to idel speed, my revs were hanging at about 2000 rpm, flick the the gas pedel made no difference ie... the revs would go up when i flick the pedle but would only return to 2000 rpm, the only way i could drop the revs is to  lift the clutch a bit whilst in gear, then let the revs drop to normal approx 900 rpm then they would be ok for the remainder of the trip.
It has gotten worse now, and seems to do it approx 70% of the time when the car comes to a stop, i can still drop the revs via the clutch, but the next time i stop they would be at 2000 rpm again, it does not do it all the time but most of it.
I have had no warning lights come up on the dash at all. This problem does not really bother me, but i have to get the car MOTed and i am sure that it would fail the emissions test if reving so high.
I want to have a look at it tomorrow, if the weather is good, so do you guys have any idears on what to look for and where to start?

I also want to adjust the handbreak, the handbreak handle comes up to high, now on my omega A all i did was adjust the cable at the handbreak handle end. But i asked for a price for it to be done along with some other work from Euro Master (German Kwick Fit) and he said that on the Omega B it can only be done at the Handbreak shoes, IE removing the break disks, is this true, or was it a ploy just to try and get more money from me?

Thanks for any help

Regards

Tony

Hi Guys

Ok all done and dusted, it took about 3/4 hour, the only problem i had was the bolt that holds the sensor, was a star headed bolt, so i had to thumble about to find something that fits. But i found something in the end.

I did have to use the new loom, as the plug on the old one is slightly different from the new one.

The only thing that is wrong now, is that the one touch window operation has gone, but i think i saw a FAQ on that subject on this forum.

A big thanks to all that help me on this little problem.

Kind regards

Tony

Hi

Yes it does come come with a piece of  loom (with crimps)

That was going to be my next question: why do i have to use the piece of loom? the new sensor i have has a 3 pin socket moulded into it, so i guess that i can just unplug the loom from the old one and plug it into the new one, unless the old one does not have this socket on the end of it, and the cable come directly out of the end of the sensor.

Well it has stopped raining now, so i will get my things together and do the job.

Just out of interest, as the engine is a DOHC does that mean that there are 2 cam sensors?

Hi

Ok now we know that it is the camshaft Sensor, is it easy to change, and what sort of cost would i be looking at?

If it is easy to change with not much cursing under the breath, i don't mind having a go at it my self.

Thanks

Hi All

So i have upload the video to Goole.

Video 1 is a 1 minute video with the engine running, as you can see there are no flashes with the engine running.

Video 2 is a 7 minute video with the engine not running, i left the camera going for so long, as i have no clue how long it takes to get the codes out.

If any of you guys could take a look at the video, and comfirm my findings, that it is Code 92, that would be great.

Thanks for your time on this matter.

Cheers

Tony

Hi All

Ok i just did the test again (engine not running, i get no flashes with engine running), this time i took a video of it, so i can watch it on the computer with more time. My wife and i both say that it is
*--**--*--**--*--**--*********--**  so 92  Camshaft Sensor Incorrect signal.
|-----diag start-----|  |--fault code---|

But once i have made the video smaller, if i post a link to it would you guys be able to check it for me.

The vid should be up sometime this afternoon.

Thanks

Tony
