Gibby here is the guide for changing the HBV on the V6 engine.The 2.2 is similar I think.Its right at the back of the engine and wiull be awkward.The bottom picture shows the small vacuum pipe on top of the valve which you need to pull off to see if you then get any heat in the car.If you do (or dont) get heat in the car after youve taken it off,post your results here and Im sure more advice will be offered.

Hi sir, so does this HBV usually need replacement or there is something to do for it to function properly? And if it needs to be replaced where could it be bought? Thanks, I wish you good health.

Are the pipes to the bulkhead very hot? If not, remove the vac pipe from the top of the HBV, and see if the pipes get hot.

Hello Sir, hope all is well with you. I've bought all necessary items for the work now, and if weather permit I be working on the car tomorrow. But there is one more thing which I'm not sure of, you are talking of removing the pipe(s) from HBV, but on the link posted to me on how to work around HBV, instructs to drain the coolant from the vehicle, now by removing the pipe from the HBV will not affect the engine during the testing? Sorry if I'm mistaken please advise, I want to be double sure be4 I start working on the vehicle. Thanks, may the Lord bless you for the good work you are doing to me.

Hi Andy,
I do have the same prob on my omega 2.2 2001. the main reasons could be just two: lambda sensors or at times the LPG { not that LPG has a problem but it just interfares with the system of the car}. The good news is that there is nothing to worry, I have been driving my with the light on for more than two yrs now.

What are the actual symptoms.
Have you control over all fan speeds.
Does the fan stop when climate panel switched off.
If fan speed is controllable have you tried removing vac pipe from top of HBV to see if you get heat.

Hello sir, the real symptoms are:
*the air from the vents is cold and very weak that seems the blower could not be working properly;
*the car forms mist and ice inside the windscreen;
*I can control everything on the climate control panel without any problem.
*Yes the fan stops when switched off.
*the seat heating is working properly
*I haven't tried to remove the vac pipe from top because I'm not sure what it is, could you please help to gives some simple instruction so that I could try that.
Thanks very much sir

Hello Sir, 1. there is weak cold air coming through the vents; 2. I've tried the "OFF & AUTO" reset but nothing happens, no any sound; 3. the climate panel seem to be working ok as it shows when switched on; 4. Checked the fuses, all seem to be ok. 5. Seat heating is working properly. Thus all I can note at the moment. Thanks very much for your help.

Have you tried a manual re-set (OFF & AUTO held in together.
Can you hear the vac flaps resynching.

Thank you in advance.

Omega General Help / Re: engine runs sluggish and has poor acceleration.

« on: 14 May 2012, 19:09:35 »

2001 2.2 omega estate.
 Hi ... my engine is running sluggish, and has little acceleration. I gave it to a local mechanic who serviced oil, and filters, and plugs. Still running poorly.  On later inspection i found a breather had pipe perished at the back, but looks intact from the front.
Got one on order along with rocker cover gasket, which is leaking oil. Also Eml is on don,t have any codes. Any  idea's ...
 thanks Alzer.

my name is gibby, I've the 2.2l omega. I had the same problems, it lacked power when accelerating and very sluggish. but only yesterday I tried to take it for bit longer distance. I noted that something was wrong with the exhaust. Today I took it to the exhaust specialist and bingo it was blocked. So could check the exhaust, may its blocked.

« on: 14 May 2012, 17:32:11 »

Just put my Maxiscan code reader on a forum member's 2.2 Omega ..... occasional EML. It came up with P1781 which isn't on the list with the paper clip test, but the reader shows "CAN data bus, ECM actual torque signal - malfunction detected"   
What's that mean in English? 

Hello sir, my name is Gibby, I've Omega 2.2l Z22XE, 3 weeks ago my omega gave all sorts of problems, and when diagonised on the code reader, it had lots of codes & one of them was PO1781. After changing the camshaft sensor all codes disappeared. So I would suggest to check the camshaft sensor.
