Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: No Sound

« on: 03 April 2011, 10:02:34 »

Hi,

Could i not replace the amp in the back with a newer amp that does 4 and 2ohm and then plug that into my stereo via preouts. Would it then be the case of the stereo would output 4ohm and then be converted into 2ohm in the amp therefore sound will work then?

Hi,

Well thats not good news is it lol

Ive just read somewhere you can get a loop back lead or something? Would that just mean i can use the original wiring but i will still need to replace the original speakers?

Matt

Correct - the CD Changer loom from a prefacelift GLS, CD or CDX. Plugs in the facelift Bose loom in drivers kick panel

So i buy a prefacelift cd changer loom , plug it into the bose loom in the drivers kick panel and what does that give me?

Hi,

Just tried to install my new JVC stereo and taken the old stereo out (double din) and i cant get any sound?

There are three plugs in the iso block , and there are 2 off my stereo , the power one fits the bottom and the other only fits one of the remaining two as the third one is too big so i know they are in the right plugs.

I get no sound at all? Am i missing something simple? Its the Bose system ive got

Hi,

Ive done a coolant flush today and put vauxhall red in. Ive also cleaned the header tank bottle out as it was showing a few little bits of brown (suppose its the oil cooler). The hot smell isnt there as bad but the interior blowers do still smell a little?

As far as I know you cannot drain all the coolant and if it was filled up with green type before it is not recommended to mix up the two different antifreeze! Be careful.

Btw I hav read this thread because I have been having a similar problem since I have bought my car (3.0 v6 1998).
Sometimes I do even see steam coming from under the hood on the left. I am waiting forward to your solution, fingers crossed!

Hi,

The coolant looks clear tbh but i am going to flush it through for a while until its totally running clear. Then put vauxhall red in and the mix will be 50/50

P.S Your steam issue reminds me of my mates Omega a while back and that was the HBV

Hi,

Im thinking of getting some vauxhall red coolant tomorrow and flushing the whole car out and then filling with this coolant. To flush the whole car out i was thinking of emptying the coolant and then putting my garden hose in the header tank and just have it running constant. Do i put my heaters on full aswell so i clean all the heater out?

Also , how much is the vauxhall red coolant? and which hose to i take off to drain the coolant?

Hi,

Sorry i rambled a bit on the original post. What i meant is that when you get out of the car you can smell the heat and if you put your nose by the wing/bonnet gap you can smell coolant , almost like its burnt but i popped the bonnet and no leaks , no overheating (sat at 80 most of the time)
