Omega General Help / Re: Any decent Vx service centre in Scotland?

« on: 22 September 2006, 21:35:49 »

NO!  i know this from previous experience!!!   it just isnt really possable unless
a) you have the locking kit and
b) you know exactly what your doing!

trust me, find somebody who knows their stuff and give them a back hander......  

And, if you watched the DVD, you would know you need a locking kit, that was my point.  

Agreed, if you're not too handy with the tools, you should let someone else do it.

dont do the cambelt change yourself unless you have a locking kit and know how it is done!

or you will be scanning about for a new V6 engine! everything else you should be able to do on your own if you have some mechanical knowlege......

 

Good point Kris.  

You would have known this though after watching the DVD.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Must be the holiday weekend.  

If you PM RobinHood he'll sort you out with the DVD. It's only 3 quid, a bargain in my opinion.

Click members on the top menu, scroll through till you see RobinHood, click his name, click PM, and he'll let you know the address to PayPal the money. Got mines really quick.  

Any problems gimme a shout.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Three quid will buy you the cam belt change DVD, then you could do it yourself.  

Failing that you could try Autovaux in East Kilbride.

They are Independent Vx Specialists, all trained by Vx. I've even used them myself.  

Tel. 01355 570804 ask for Des Burns, tell him Kev fae Coatbridge sent you, he'll look after you.   [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Address is...

69 Carron Place,
Kelvin Ind. Estate,
East Kilbride.

Omega General Help / Re: Electrical problem - Omega 2.5 TD

« on: 23 September 2006, 00:27:02 »

I'd check under the wiper scuttle, passenger side where the pollen filter is fitted.

This can sometimes fill with water if the drain holes are blocked, could be stagnent water in there that's causing it, that's where the blower intake is.

As it happens this turned out to be a fuse (even thugh they had been chacked by both myself and an independant auto electrician) cost me £70 to get it looked at by vauxhalls - having said that it is working now but I have another issue now, since the issue with the electrics i have a rather nasty "gas like" smell coming into the cabin and cannot figure out what is causing it - i would take it to Vauxhall but i cant really afford their prices at the moment any ideas what could be causing it?

Gas like smell could be the AirCon, is it present all the time? How about when the AC is set to high.

Omega General Help / Re: 3.0l Slightly Rough Idle

« on: 22 September 2006, 20:42:03 »

I took a slightly closer look at mine and the hose is partially off at the back of the MAF.  I'll deal with that and take a closer look as I do the cambelt and cam cover gaskets.

You're gonna be a busy boy then, good luck.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Remember and use clear silicone, with just a fine hole on the applicator nozzle. Less is more.

Omega General Help / Re: 3.0 Autobox Oil leak

« on: 04 September 2006, 18:48:32 »

Firstly i think you're gonna have to get it jacked up and clean it down, that way you'll be able to see for sure exactly where it is coming from.   :-?

There is a How2 over on 'The OtherPlace' explaining how to remove the sumps and replace the gaskets and fluid, you can find it here.

A place to start anyway, could just be the gasket.

Omega General Help / Re: Brake fluid flush and change - feedback

« on: 30 August 2006, 00:49:19 »

Thanks for the replys all - I shall be putting an oil change one up soon, but drunk too much beer so can't be bothered to do it this evening  

So you cracked open that ice cold bottle of beer then.

Excellent How2 Tunnie.  Well done. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I noticed you have however missed out the final, and probably most important part, 'Once complete, sit back and crack open an ice cool can of beer.'

Omega General Help / Re: Automatic remote window closure kit

« on: 10 August 2006, 20:39:01 »

Me: Does this kit work for Omegas? They have the feature that if you hold down the button on dead-locking from the remote the windows all close. Its a real pain though as you have to hold it down until the windows close, and if the signal breaks at any point the windows stay half open and you have to unlock, then re-lock and hold deadlock to finnish the job.
Cheers

Reply: hi yes it will i think its the same wiring as the vectra's i have sold lots for omega's and sent vectra instructions and they have all left feedback so your more then welcome to try it.

sounds like a yes, andy8 you recieved yet?

I think that sounds a bit more like "You try it for me, and if you leave positive feedback, i'll assume it works"
