Omega General Help / new exhaust and cat or not?

« on: 13 February 2012, 18:51:27 »

took the meega into the garage for steering and camber testing and fixing...tracking and camber now fine........however while underneath said motor we discovered that the pipe going into the cat was loose....so the exhaust is blowing at that point. ...also from the cat backwards towards the rear of the vehicle the exhaust seemed loose....the garage said they thought it needed a new exhaust and cat, which panned out at 329 ukp....(including fitting).
Is it possible to put a new seal in there...? Or were they right about getting a new exhaust? Is the exhaust meant to be a bit loose or should it be more solid.

thank you for reading look forward to any replies....

thanks

Omega General Help / heater not working!!

« on: 21 July 2011, 19:52:09 »

Hi there i have a year 2000 Omega 2 litre estate, lpg/petrol machine. I have recently bought this machine. However when i bought it i didnt know it had a blown head gasket. Also the heater was not working. I took it into Vauxhall to get the heater fixed and they found the bust gasket!! So i had to have the thing repaired. New head gasket etc. However the garage did tell me they couldnt get the water pump off due to a sheared bolt. However they did say that the water pump looked new in any event. The engine is now running fine....however the heater still doesnt work. So i took the car back to my local Vauxhall dealer and asked them to fix the bust heater. They put a new by pass valve on it.......that didnt work....so then they blew out the heater matrix and that didnt work!!! After that they said they didnt know what to do......!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone got any ideas? The heater is definately not working....or at least i cannot get heat out of the thing.....

thanks for your time and consideration

Omega General Help / no heat out of the heating/air con system!

« on: 24 June 2011, 21:48:57 »

Hello there and thank you for your time. I am new here and have bought the Omega today. The car seems fine and runs ok. However when i turn on the heating all i get is cold air. All the fans work fine. In fact everything seems to be working fine except for the no heat!! I am going to check the fuse as people say its fuse 33 at 30 amps. So thats my first port of call.....thanks for your time and help
