yes you can but will need new glue, glassback, and a bit of a trim on lens lip.

Many thanks for your reply,
Will I need special glue, and what do you mean by, and a bit of a trim on lens lip.?
Cheers.

Hi Does anyone know if the headlight fronts are interchangeable ie. can I use one from a non xenon headlight (facelift) and fit it to my xenon headlight (facelift) ?

As luck would have it, i just did mine this weekend. Take off the drive belt and timing belt cover from the front of the engine to expose the timing belt. Rotate the engine (spark plugs out) until the notch on the main drive pulley aligns with the pointer and the two cams have their notches aligned with the relevant marks, Lock the cams before removing the timing belt, the water pump is held in by three hex bolts with washers on them, you may have to persuade the pump out of its housing, fit new one with a smear of silicon grease around the rubber seal to keep it in place.

OP is driving a diesel ::) ::) ::)


Thanks for pointing that out, I am sure he is trying to help

Omega General Help / Water pump
« on: 23 August 2010, 11:02:42 »
It looks like the water pump has thrown the towel in, is replacement an easy job? I have looked in the maintenance guide but cant find anything. And the car being the facelift 2.2 diesel means I cant get a book to help me. Is there any thing I should know before I start.    Cheers .  Just realised I need to remove the serpentine fan belt, but I don't know where the tensioner is. Can someone tell me please.

Thanks - great advice.

3) certainly not seen coolant venting from expansion bottle

Was puzzled yesterday as could not find the Heater Bypass Valve - think I have found it now, on my 2.2TD it appears much more accessible, in front of the engine down below the air box.  Funnily enough before I dropped it to the garage it was the one place I could see a small amount of water.

Anyone local to west Cardiff that fancies some coffee and cash to change it, and flush the coolant would be very welcome,  else will drop it back to the garage and get them to change the HBV.


Does yours have the cabin heater, located just in front of the drivers side front wheel? It looks like a shiny box with a little exhaust on it. If so have a look for leaks there, these tend to leak after a few years use.

I used to row a trailer tent years ago, it used to snake like hell at times. The wife would be sat there frightened to death, screaming her knickers off, and all I could do was carry on driving with tears of laughter pouring down my cheeks. Oh happy days.     ::)

Hi All,
Omega 2.2 dti cdx face lift saloon. If parked on slope facing down hill all night it will start in the morning fine. But if parked on level ground not a chance. I have a primer bulb under bonnet and I have to pump the fuel through to get it started. I have changed the injector crossover seals, also the filter housing, and got a load of crap out of the fuel tank but still the same problem.  Has any one else had this trouble, and been able to fix it? Many thanks in advance.

Got this sorted now  :D :D :D

This problem is now doing my head no good at all, I have put a one way valve in the fuel feed pipe at the tank end to stop the fuel running back into the tank over night but the problem is still there. So maybe the fuel is not running back into the tank. Or could it be running back via the return, (but it is suppose to) Could it be going somewhere else? Is there Some one out there with a good knowledge of the diesel fuel system who may be able to help me before I go to my grave? :'( :'( 

Can no one help with this problem? I've noticed It wont start if the fuel is low, quarter full or lower.

Has no one had this problem with diesels before?

I have looked for a leak but can find nothing.

It seems to me that the fuel could be running back into the tank, are there any one way valves in the fuel line? If so where are they?

Could this be a problem with the fuel pump? are there any One way valves in pump that may have failed.
