Omega General Help / Brake Master Cylinder

« on: 02 July 2013, 09:50:54 »

Hi Guys

My older S Reg 2 ltr Dti has failed the mot on brake pedal travelling near to the floor and dropping as the engine idles.

I'm thinking master cylinder.

Could anyone tell me if the master cylinders are all the same, or do I need to look for one to my specific year/engine size?

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Cheers Gary

Omega General Help / Auxiliary Belt Diagram - 2.2 Dti

« on: 16 March 2012, 17:44:16 »

Hi Guys

Hope someone can help.

I have had problems with my Aux Belt Tensioner. 2.2 Dti

Now sorted.

But I could do with a Diagram or Photo of the route of the belt. I have tried all sorts of ways and have loads of spare belt.

I'm sure it's simple, but I can't figure it out.

I had a diagram at one time, but can't find it now.

Can anyone help please.

Everyone is forgetting the rare 2.0 Dti Omega Estate, like my first.

Never towed with it, but going off the poor accelaration. It proberbly couldn't pull the skin of a Rice Puddin

Omega General Help / Re: Anyone had a bolt shear off on the Aux Belt Tensioner? - 2.2 Dti

If I stick with my origonal plan of removing the bracket.

I have just had another look at removing the A/C Compressor and the front/top bolt looks near impossible to get at.

I can feel it covered on 3 sides by a plastic clip, which itself works as a bracket for one of the A/C pipes.

How you are supossed to get anything on it. I dont know

Has anyone removed the compressor on a 2.2 Dti?

Other one is for Aircon.

Not a big job to take them out but it's going to mean disconnecting the coolant hoses and the aircon connections which means that the gas will have to be removed by an aircon specialist and the coolant will have to be drained then coolant refilled and aircon regassed..... Unless anyone knows any different?

Arr Thanks, should have thought of that, my brain is really not working at the moment. No Car - No Work - No Money

and nobody wants to take the job on.

So either way, I'm going to have to degas the A/C

Thanks for the advice. Had considered that but that looked more work.

It looks like there are 2 radiators?

Obviously one is for engine cooling, what is the other for?

Is it a big job to take them out?

thanks again

Thank you VXL V6

That photo is really helpful

Looks like a nightmare to get off without removing the A/C unit.

Not sure how I'm going to do it

But I'm going to have to get that bracket out to drill it.

Thanks for the reply. The Tensioner has been replaced about 6 months ago. I don't know why the bolt has sheared. But I can't put it back on until I get the remainder of the bolt out.

Thought I would post these. Photo from below. the bolt thread is in the top hole.

Hi Guys

Hoping for a bit of advice please.

The other day heard a clunck and my Auxilary Belt slackened off. No Alternater, No Power steering etc

Found that the belt tensioner had come adrift because the top bolt holding it on had sheared off, vertually flush with the bracket

I have tried to drill a hole in the bolt with a right angled drill extension, thinking I could try a stud extractor in it.

But it is proving near impossable, what with the radiator and A/C pipes in the way.

It looks like the bracket that the bolt has sheared from is holding on the, what I would call the A/C condensor pump.

Does anyone know if this can be removed with or without the pump.

Or if anyone has an exploded view of the 2.2 Dti Engine.

It would be very much appreciated. I'm getting a bit desperate

Cheers Gary

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Is there a towbar wiring How-To...

« on: 20 November 2011, 11:45:32 »

From what I can remember, when I did my estate.

There is a factory fitted plug in the rear recess, there is on the facelift anyway, where the spare tyre is and I'm fairly sure there is a large brown wire among the loom to the plug.

But I could have my wires crossed on what your asking.

Convention is that centre pin is + (or has been since dynamos and positive earth fell out of favour in he 1960's).

+ wire will probably be red and - black.

(I would always check the polarity with a multimeter though having fried a friends radio in my youth Oops )

Thanks Andy H. Like the H**ford one most of these wires are Black & Black. I can hopefully open them up.

But I am being stupid. 

Because as you say, I can always test it with my multimeter. 

To many beers last night I think.

Thanks, for the replies guys,

Has anyone fitted these units permanent in the miggy? 

Mine is a facelift and I wanted to maybe have it in or behind the small drop down draw to the right of the steering wheel, so I could pull the lead out when required.

The portable idea has it's advantages though I havent seen the ciggy lighter adaptors on there own, where would I get one form H##fords?

Thanks again for your replies, much appreciated.

Ps To Dave DND - Your welcome, looks a good bit of kit. I cant wait to try it.
