Omega General Help / Re: Alternators

« on: 19 January 2014, 13:18:16 »

I fixed my alternator last year. I replaced everything, diodes and the voltage regulator and it works brilliantly.

I didn't have to replace diodes, but I did. It cost me £90, but I remember the voltage regulator was around £45.

They quoted me £250 for a new (read: refurbed) alternator).

Which, on exchange of the old one, you would of had a refund, no?

Making total cost of a new alternator about £110 odd. Iirc. Although there may have been a price increase since.

Just make sure they give you the right one. As the 3.0 doesn't fit. Spades are too wide and there not enough slack in the loom to the terminals.

I heard of it, but I don't remember anybody telling me about the refund there and then. Still £20 cheaper and now I know how to fix'em

I fixed my alternator last year (august 2012). I replaced everything, diodes and the voltage regulator and it works brilliantly.

I didn't have to replace diodes, but I did. It cost me £90, but I remember the voltage regulator was around £45.

They quoted me £250 for a new (read: refurbed) alternator so this means my alternator is now worth £250

It's 120 amps.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: NCDC 2015 and built-in nokia phone

« on: 19 January 2014, 12:46:02 »

Right. I'm gonna dig it out

I still got that smart-phone and maybe 6 years later, somebody knows how to modify it so we can use Bluetooth with NCDC 2015?

I did use this phone with Vodafone 900MHz for w bit, but it was far from practical. I'm with T-Mobile.

Any news on this 6 years later? Couldn't find any concretes.

Hmm.. the shell garage near me has been refurbished recently and they were doing something there again yesterday...

I've been using all petrol stations randomly, so i have a feeling that I made a big mistake there and then in Germany last year in August. Bloody eco crap

Cool, thank you all for taking your time here. Hopefully this will help somebody else with so many misfires...

Do you avoid any petrol stations? Did you notice the Y32SE to be running any different depending on where you filled your tank?

I've managed to start the engine, and it wasn't running fine, but I left it running for a while revving it from time to time and eventually the problem went away. I did put about 6 litres of Vpower plus a little bit of that wynns stuff and the engine is running perfectly fine now

Mark was probably right and nothing needed replacing at this time, however the plugs and the coil packs did look like they needed changing very soon anyways. I think.

Guys, do you think it was caused by that dodgy/eco petrol in Germany?

If you have a battery charger,charge battery up before starting,or jump start it.

I got another car next to mine at the moment.

All other components are working, that is fuel pump etc. op - com shows it all and I just took the plugs out from bank 1-3-5 and all plugs were wet.

OK I connected the op - com and it seems to be linked with my car. Current battery voltage is 10.7V.

What data should I look at if I manage to start the car? Should I get some Vpower as at the moment I've got 20 litres of sainsburys 95 octane..

I also got Wynns cleaning solution. Should I add it?

Is the fuel pump running while you crank the engine,

I'm sure it does, but I'd need to verify it :>

and do the needles on the speedometer and rev counter bounce as you start cranking?

Yes they do bounce.

I'm wondering if the crank sensor was on it's way out, and it's finally failed completely.

I believe the crank sensor was replaced about 4 years ago and not because it failed, but because the wire was too close to the exhaust manifold.

At this point I think the battery is low anyway. I can get the jump leads out and keep trying with a different battery or a car...

Faulty fuel pump or blocked filter,sounds like fuel starvation.

The engine was running after I replaced the coils until I disconnected the battery. Fuel filter is couple of years old and as far as I'm concerned the pump works too.

Ok I just tried without the MAF and it won't start. I'll try to record it on video.
