Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Heated rear window

« on: 04 April 2009, 19:21:23 »

The fuse for the heated rear window breaks every time i replace it, as soon as i start the engine.
Omega '97 stationwagon x20xev.

There might be several reasons for this problem especially since there are other equipment connected to the same fuse, however, my purpose is to get input from other omega owners.
Locale garage spent two hours troubleshooting, but I decided to try a litle bit more on my own before handing it back to garage....

Have anyone else experinced this, and what was the reason for this..?

My car is '97 x20xev engine. I have the USB connection (since I dont have the serial port on my laptop), and I have tried both the original software and the one named "ABCom-rowl3y-english".
On both versions I have routed the tech2 via an emulated COM1 and succesfully comunicate with the ECU on some subjects like ABS system or  central door lock. But I have still not managed to connect to the engine subject. However, on the "ABCom-rowl3y-english" version the software did not fail immediately after some connection attempts. So it's slightly better the original version. There are also a few more options, good too see there are some skilled programmers in this community.

Please, PLEASE, let me know if you have a third version of this software.
Unfortunately it didn't help me much googling for this software either....

Oh, I see.. the norwegian supplier of this product sold me an Opel Tech 2 for 800 NOK, about 100Euros.. It was a 10% discount offer. When I complained about the software he "kindly" offered me a more expensive product for just a small fee (about 85Euros) plus transportation costs of returning the old one and for shipping me the new one.. I will kindly rejet this offer..
I am fully aware that this is a cheap product, and I cant expect too much of it..But I do belive that if the language is partly in Hungarian, and there are unsolved connection problems, this should be mentionted in the order confirmation or on the webpage.
Enough smalltalk, does anyone have a positiv experience of this product at all?   Any tips would be highly appreciated!

Does anyone know where to find this other software? the link kindly provided by dbug was better then the one included in the hardware/software bundle, but still no connection to ECU, (engine)

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Opel tech2

« on: 06 December 2008, 00:15:50 »

I have recently purchased a Opel tech 2 device, but I have difficulties with conneting to the Omega '97, perhaps due to the USB emulator. The engine diagnostic is failing all the time, chassis/body gives respond but with many failure signals. It all ends with the software closing..

The software is also in Hungarian/english.
I have installed the software in accordance to the specifications.
Anyone else with the same experience?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: 0V spots on omega 2.0 16v

« on: 22 December 2008, 15:23:27 »

Thank for the response.
But I was thinking more precisely, I mean.. As an example , does the engine managment sensor have negative wiring to the chassis next to the connection point? Is there a negative wire from the actual connection point to the closest possible 0v point?
I case there are several 0v connection points, then I need to check for corrosion on the 0v connections all over the car.. Do you follow me, and what I mean...?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / 0V spots on omega 2.0 16v

« on: 21 December 2008, 21:14:35 »

This is for sure a stupid question, but if you dont know it ask someone who does!
what is the wire situation on the Omega (or any other car for that reason) with regard of 0V ? Is there several different 0V connections on the car, or does all of them return to the main 0V location?
If there are several locations.. does anyone knows where they are...? I'm thinking especially on the air intake area.
I just wanna check if the main sensors and components are properly grounded but I dont know how to deal with it... Any suggestions?

Omega General Help / Re: fault codes and engine light

how ever it will damage your pocket with having to put more fuel in the tank, lol

garage are doing exhaust manifold replacement (cracked), possibly EGR replacement and cam sensor replacement next time.. I expect that to add some extra boost;)

It will eventually give up and leave you in permanent limp mode until it is replaced. It won't damage anything else, that is why it's in limp mode, to protect the other engine systems

Thanks guys! Hope it will hang in there for another three weeks then;)

P0340   Camshaft Sensor Incorrect Signal
P0352   Ignition Coil 2 Incorrect Signal
P0335   Crankshaft Sensor Incorrect Signal

Is it a 4 pot?

errr... I have no idea, I dont think so!
if it helps its a x20xev engine sitting in a caravan

X20XEV is a 4 cylinder (pot) First port of call would be the cam sensor then get your codes cleared, run it for a while and re-do paperclip test

I see, did not know pot ment cyl;) hehe..
I will! But is it likely to belive that the fault will appear more frequently and at the end leave me on the lonesome road with a total breakdown?
And will this eventually do any other harm on the car? I really need the car for daily rutines, and I dont have an opening before the 1st of december..

Omega General Help / fault codes and engine light

« on: 12 November 2009, 20:01:52 »

Lately i have experienced the following problem:
while driving sometimes the yellow engine light comes on, and engine feels jumpy and weak, can not exceed 4500RPM. Occasionaly it helps to rest for 2minutes and start again, engine light is gone and car feels fine.

Today engine stopped while driving with high RPM, and yellow light came on emmediately. However it started again, with yellow light on.

I paperclipped it and the following codes flashed:
0340
0352
0335

Im guessing cam sensor is weak and should be renewed. But what does those other fault codes tell me....??

Omega General Help / Re: EGR passages?

« on: 27 September 2009, 22:36:41 »

Yes, at the rear end of the head.  Wouldn't really want to try to remove and replace with the head in place though.  It's only 3 bolts, but access is horrible.

I only took this one off because the head was already off.

Gee, thanks a lot! this really solved a few issues surrounding my next project, how to clean passages between EGR and inlet side:)
I have removed EGR and DISpack sereval times for inspection and cleaning, i'm not gonna do that again without removing panels and wiper arm assembly, that really helped!
Oh, BTW, what kind of sealing for the flange? o-ring og loctite seal paste?

A drilling in the cyl 4 end of the head takes exhaust gases to the valve, through the yellow-arrowed hole in the flange shown.  It comes out of the valve (no filter) where the blue arrow starts, and runs along horizontally in a channel in said flange, then emerges (green arrow) into another drilling in the head that turns 90° and  feeds into the inlet manifold (through a channel that goes to near the TB).  

Would have been easier to see if I'd cleaned away the crud before I photographed it.   

Thanx a lot, but this picture, is this from a flange mounted on the cylinder head...? which is removable?
