Omega General Help / Re: Airbag light on

« on: 23 January 2025, 23:57:57 »

I was a bit sceptical, but I always am. Never had this problem in the 21 years I’ve had the car so I suspect it was something that happened while the car was being restored, anyway it’s fixed and he only charged me 40 quid so I’m happy.

It turned out to be high resistance in the yellow plugs under the seat. A quick spray with switch cleaner and all is well. Don’t know what caused this but the guy with the scanner found it in minutes and said it can happen to a nearly new car.

The car sprayer is back from holiday soon so he will be the first point of contact. If no joy there I will contact Mr Wood. Fortunately I haven’t paid all the money yet.

Anyone here have one, or know of someone who does? I’m going to be taking it back to the guy who did the work but presumably he won’t be able to turn it off without said reader anyway. I’m happy to travel to someone who knows what they’re doing.

Is there a switch for the passenger side airbag? I’ve never seen one.

Anyone with Tech 2 in the Surbiton area? Or will disconnecting the battery work?

I’ve just got my Omega back from a lengthy bodywork restoration and respray. All is good apart from the airbag light being on. I can’t get it back to the guy for a couple of weeks so wondered if there was something likely I could check. The obd 2 won’t clear it.

I believe the same actuator is used on some Saabs

Omega General Help / Radiator replacement

« on: 09 October 2024, 09:32:50 »

I would like to change the radiator on my 2.2 petrol facelift but I am concerned about the air con pipes that go over the top of it on the near side. Does the air con need to be drained first? Is there a guide somewhere on here? Thanks

Omega General Help / Timing belt & water pump

« on: 01 July 2024, 22:31:52 »

Is there a guide on how to change the timing belt and water pump on a 2.2 petrol anywhere on here. If not then the torque settings for the job will do. Thanks.

Cam cover was done a little while ago when I changed the gasket, all breathers cleaned that I could find.

I found some switches from a repair kit I had bought years ago, managed to solder them in myself without buggering it up and all is well!

Update: having cleaned and lubricated the throttle body and thinking this had solved the problem, it came back again. I put a new throttle body on and immediately had a smooth tick over from cold and it would seem much better fuel consumption. I even saw 36 mpg as an average from Surbiton to Rushden and back, well pleased with that.
