Omega General Help / Re: problem with n/s heater temp

« on: 01 March 2011, 13:47:46 »

Just had a look and mine is a N reg and seems to be different. I can`t seem to see which motor changes the hot and cold for the n/s.
I have removed the glovebox etc but still can`t figure out which changes the temp

Thanks for the reply.
I`ll give it a go
Would i hear the motor working if the arm had fallen off because as it is now when I turn the temp up it is silent, no creaking or motor noise at all.

Omega General Help / problem with n/s heater temp

« on: 01 March 2011, 11:44:48 »

I have just been testing my arcon but noticed a problem with the heater on the passenger side. the temprature you set doesnt actually do anything.
I turned the engine off and turned the temp on the o/s up one by one and you can hear the motor working the flaps behind the dash. when I do the same on the n/s you cant hear anything working and the temprature stays the same.
I`m thinging the motor maybe fauty but where is it and how do you change it???
Thanks for any help.

Thanks

The flywheel is fine, I changed the clutch last year and there are no judders.
To be honest the bloke who does the clutches does high preformance cars. I told him what I wanted as my clutch slips when I have to manouver the van an he said the kevlar plate material is the best for high tempratures.
think it maybe worth a try for £40, I`d be doing the job myself anyway so there is no labour an it doesnt take that long to change really

Never heard of that before.  Didn't know you could "upgrade" a clutch plate.  If you do it, let me know how it goes...   I've tried looking for performance clutches and there's a distinct lack of performance parts in general for the Omega.  :/

I was told basiclly that if I take him my old disc he will re do it with a Kevlar racing material, He could also upgrade the springs in my plate though that would be a extra cost.
When I have looked in the past there are a few American places that do upgrades for towing vehicles an they do the same.
I`ll let you know what its like when I change it. Might be a few weeks yet though before I get chance

first off your plate aint got springs!!!so i would question this guys expertise, and i would not want a refurbed plate from past experience(bad) usually balance problems
on mine i just put a 3litre v6 plate in it fits just in the flywheel, and over the last
56k including towing a twin axle van all over spain has never given me a moments trouble, still going strong

I thought the forks on the plate were springs that pull the the plate tight up to the disc and flywheel? When the clutch is pressed the release bearing pushes the forks and dissengages the gearbox from the engine unless it is a pull type clutch and then it pulls the forks to dissengage??

3.0 V6 clutch sound a good idea.

The bloke who does the clutches, He has 30 years experience making them for rally cars, I know a few people who have had suburu`s giving out 350+ bhp an they have had clutches done by him

it only starts to slip when i have been shunting the caravan or trailer around the yard. There is a bit of a slight incline an when i'm reversing the van up slowly on an off the clutch it begins to slip. I let it cool down ten minutes an it is good to go again. I could leave it in an it would be fine but i want it to be better when i'm towing. I stripped it down about a year ago to put this cheap clutch in and there were no other problems like you listed

it's only 40 pound to uprate my old clutch. Better than 200 for a new clutch.

Omega General Help / uprated clutch

« on: 17 February 2011, 15:41:25 »

hi. Has anyone ever put a uprated clutch in? I'm wanting to put a better one in as i tow a lot an the cheap clutch i have in now slips when it gets a bit warm. There is a place in leeds that will recon my disc with kevlar racing kit which he says will make it a lot better. Has anyone had  any  experience  with these
