Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Battery discharged Fuse 7 circuit culprit

« on: 13 August 2010, 11:53:47 »

Hi all,

Thanks for the responses but I have rechecked the fuse number and it appears to be number 7. I have pulled it and the windows still work but the interior lights dont. According to page 188 of the pdf (OmegaOct2002.pdf), page 186 on the actual scanned in manual, it is the lights, check cct and engine oil level ! Anyone know where the lights check circuit control unit is ?

Thanks to the link for the manual. Any idea what the "check control " is? Battery is being recharged for the moment so will try further tests again tomorrow

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Battery discharged Fuse 7 circuit culprit

« on: 04 August 2010, 21:42:18 »

Hi All,

My x reg Omega 2.2 estate has suddenly decided to discharge the battery whilst switched off. The battery is only about 6 months old. Disconnected the battery, every thing switched off and key removed, doors closed. Connected Amp meter between battery and battery connection. Inital current draw of just over 1 amp (noticed interior lights on) waited till the interior lights go out and still drawing approx 250mAmp. Removed and inserted fuses one at a time and came to the conclusion that there is a problem with fuse 7. Tried again with fuse 7 removed. No lights this time and only about 20milli Amp draw so its obviously the lamp circuit some where. Anyone tried finding out what the normal draw is when everything is switched off ?

I dont have a manual so not sure where to look next?
Any ideas guys ?

Hi,

Thanks for the advise. The widow operates with the same (no up movement) from both switches. I just checked the Maintenance guides of the forum and cant see one for reprogrammimg the window ECU. Do you mean the forum or in a manual somewhere ?

Cheers

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Window issue

« on: 11 October 2007, 10:53:33 »

Hi All,

I have a 2001 2.2 estate and the front passenger window is playing up. The window will go down but not back up. If you leave the car switched off for about 1 hour, turning on the ignition will close the the window
Is there some king of control box some where.

Looks like I need a manual, Are the "service" CD's sold on auction sites any good ?

Cheers

Omega General Help / Re: Did the snow do it??

« on: 05 December 2010, 22:50:13 »

Mine is playing up too. It is saying +65 degrees and you don't normally get snow when it is that hot 
Seems to move + or - 5 degrees from there within a mile or two. It also seems to muck up the heating system, I guess because the climate control thinks it is letting in hot outside air when in fact it is freezing !

Thanks for the pointer to the location of the sensor. I'll take a look at it.

Omega General Help / Adjusting lights for driving on the right

« on: 04 June 2009, 15:26:11 »

Hi All,

I have an 2000 Omega 2.2 estate and I am going across to France next week. Having changed a bulb in the headlight recently I remember that inside the light units there is a metal lever which seems to adjust the lights in some way. Is this a left to right adjustment by any chance to save me using some tape or even yellow paint ? (Sorry but I dont have a manual for the car to check)

Regards

Omega General Help / Re: Oil Leak

« on: 03 February 2008, 21:05:08 »

Thanks Guys,

It looks like I'll have to start with the cam cover gasket and work from there ;-)

Its good to know that there is actually a seal that could be the issue rather than say a crack in the head.

Omega General Help / Oil Leak

« on: 03 February 2008, 17:52:40 »

Hi all,

I have been looking into the oil leak on my 2.2 X reg estate. It appeared to be coming from the front as the drive belt and the cover at the lower front of the engine was covered in oil. I took the plunge and removed the cam belt cover and cleaned up the worst of the oil. After making sure all was out of the way I started up the engine and the oil appears to be coming from the behind the inlet side cam pulley.

The question is how is is coming out from there ? Is there a seal of some kind at the end of the camshaft or the pully ?

How do you change this seal ? cam cover off, remove cam shaft, replace and reassemble or can it be replaced from the front by removing the pully ?

regards

Dodgy :-/

Omega General Help / Power steering issue

« on: 23 January 2007, 22:27:36 »

Hi,

My X reg 2.2 estate has a problem with the power steering. When trying to manouver at slow speeds, the Power steering seems to stop adding assistance. A slight push on the throttle and the assistance comes back until the revs drop off again. There are no noises such as slipping belts or screching bearings and no fluid leaks . Is there some kind of pressure relief or one way valve in the system ?

Do you think it is the rack or the pump ?

Any help appreciated

Omega General Help / Re: EWL and MPG

« on: 12 December 2006, 12:14:35 »

Hi All,

Just checked the exhaust. It is brand new from just behind the cat backwards. The cat and manifold look fine however there is what looks like a woven mesh covered flexible joint which is where the leak is coming from. Some of the mesh is not attached at end. Is this part a separate replaceable item ?

It is a manual BTW

Regards

Thanks Guys, What a rapid response!  

The best I have had is 27 on a long run on the motorway so it does look like the hole could be causing the issue.

Thanks for all your comments

Cheers
