Omega Electrical and Audio Help / One Star CD changer
« on: 10 December 2007, 16:24:39 »
Hi All

Would anyone know where I could get a replacement CD changer suitable for the One Star radio/cassette/phone system in my CDX?  Vauxhall said other CD changers will NOT be compatible - wiring or something.

Everybody have a happy and troublefree Christmas!!

Omega General Help / Remote door locking
« on: 12 May 2010, 08:55:28 »
Unable to lock driver's door with remote fob. Tried resetting by locking doors with ignition on. All other doors lock except driver's. If I lock driver's door manually all doors lock. Surely doors are not individually fused or anything like that. What to do?

For anyone interested.  I reset the sprokets to align with the marks on the casing, but weas unable to find a locking kit.  To keep the sprockets in the correct position whilst fitting the cambelt, I locked them together with mole grips!!  Worked perfectly. Probably not recommended by the experts but happy to report that it worked, and the engine sounds sweet!!

Thanks to those who replied to my original posts.

Sorry - spellchecker obviously not functioning!! Thanks for the info. Just to be absolutely sure - be patient!! - when the crank is at 4pm position camshaft sprockets should be aligned with the marks on the rear cover.  Is that correct?

Wellung - The sprockets are on the correct camshafts, 1 inlet 2 exhaust etc.  What I wish to understand is at what position is the crank when the sprockets are lined up with the cutouts on the rear cover.  At the top or at the 4pm position (which is 60 deg BTDC) I am let to believe.  Cam shafts are on correctly with the dowels in the right positions, and the sprockets are in the correct psotion. It is just the position of the crank when the sprockets are lined up with the marks on the cover.

Just to clarify.  When the cam sprockets are lined up with the marks on the rear casing, where is the cutout on the crank positioned?  Is it at the top or at 4pm position?

Didn't use locking kit. But was careful in not moving cams whilst tightening.  Need to start from scratch and retime. Does anyone have a guide?

Thanks

Morning all
Just completed head gasket replacement, but on start up a misfire (loud bangs) - obviously won't start. I thjink the timing is incorrect. I replaced the cam sprockets without moving the crank. That was with the notch at the 4pm position. However, the marks on the sprockets didn't align with marks on the rear cover. Could one of you kind souls confirm the correct positon of the notch on the crank, so that I can align the sprockets with the timing marks on the rear cover.  A little knowledge and all that . . .

No!!  Hasn't had antifreeeze for quite some time.  Did top up when the weather got cold. Have to add in defence the car is being used by my son, and didn't realise the antifreeze was below par. Could this be a contributing factor?

Thanks for the prompt reply.  I'm pretty certain it's the core plug, but not 100% sure. Had an initial check around the HBV and other hoses. All seems dry. I took the plenum and trumpets off just to check that the coolant bridge wasn't the problem.
The water runs out under gravity. Even with the plenum off etc, fill up and watch it pour out. 
Thanks for the advice.
