Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Reverse lamp switch Auto trans Ar25

« on: 13 July 2020, 20:51:33 »

On page 5081 (P50811) in the 2002 wiring diagram that was available for download a while ago I see that for Automatic transmissions there is a relay K161 that controls the Reverse lights. And the power that feeds the lights through a fuse to the relay is F9 (10A), might be that one that has broke, first thing to check.

Now I just have to find that relay

Springs for self levelling are softer as the shocks are designed to carry some of the weight.

Omega General Help / Re: Rear wheel bearing noise?

« on: 13 July 2020, 18:24:34 »

They usually wear on the inner balls where grit can sneak in and damage the balls. All of the ones I have changed had the same wear. The outer side is more protected.
I have never seen any movement, just noise. If you remove the drive axle and the brake disk you can spin it freely and then you will hear the noise from the bearing.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Reverse lamp switch Auto trans Ar25

I think I have problems with the feed to my reverse lights. Checking at the connector coming to the lights I have no voltage there. Other lights are are working at the rear.

Is there a similar switch as on the manuals or is this controlled in some other way?

Thanks

In total there is 19 different rear springs for Omega Saloon and Estates, that number includes some special builds like armored and hearses.

Look here for the correct ones:

I have done several stints with my Omegas over the years, both of my currents ones have around 200k on the odometer.

First I do about 1000km down through Sweden and Denmark for a stay over around the Hamburg area. Then another 700 to 1000 km.
In Germany I let them fly on Autobahn and stretch their legs, remember they were built to cruise the Autobahn at 160 - 180 kph.

A previous one I had did  the same kind of trip when it had around 330k on the meter.

I keep them well maintained and have faith in them. One important thing is to have good tires if you are stretching out on Autobahn.

Enjoy your trip.

Maybe a FAKRA-connector would fit.

Check out this, I have done it on both of my cars with LED's in the fog lights.

This way they turn on when ignition is on and goes off when parking light is on. Then they works as they do from factory, you can turn the fog lights on again when parking light is on.

You can lift of the cover (with the drive letters) to the center console and down there to the front of the lever is a yellow tab that will release the gear lever.

Here you have a complete list of paint codes. This is for Opel so the names could be different from German, but the code should be the same.
A lot of other facs as well.

You need all this plus the ECU. If not you need to reprogramming the ECU

All these parts interact with each other as the anti-theft system. And the ECU will not let the car start if any of the parts in the picture isn't "known" by the ECU

Ask them to try SAAB numbers, they are the same seals but different part numbers. My Opel/SAAB dealer got me them that way.

It should be SAAB #9129999

How are things going in your part of the world Jan. I hear that Sweden are trying a different approach to the rest of Europe regarding the virus. Stay safe.

Yes we did it differently, they get a lot of flak for this approach and we will see if it is good. Biggest problem for us is the total lack of resources. During the cold war we had 60 military field hospitals, now we only have two. All medical supplies are in the "Just-In-Time" supply chains and much is imported so that supply chain is more or less broken.

Business going belly up, but that's the same everywhere.

Myself I live out in the country side and are more or less always self isolated, working from home anyway, so for me it isn't much difference. Wife is retired and we live a relaxed life normally. Going for groceries you have to be more careful of course.
