Omega General Help / vibration.
« on: 18 May 2014, 18:10:23 »
Hello. I have a 3lt v6 and I seem to have developed a slight vibration. I can feel it through the floor and steering. Also I have become aware of more road noise recently. Any one have any ideas.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Omega General Help / Re: Plenum O rings.
« on: 14 March 2014, 11:01:25 »GM dealer, cheap enough. And you don't need to replace them unless they're damaged, I mean you can remove and re-fit plenum with same o-rings several times if they are not damaged.
Just seems to be a lot of noise from that area. have had the plenum off a few times though they are not damaged.

Omega General Help / Re: Strange v6 Cambelt squeak
« on: 14 March 2014, 09:20:07 »
Mine has been doing this for about 10000 miles since I changed the belt. I checked everything a couple of times and all seemed ok so I have just put up with it. It only lasted for a few minutes and was gone. I thought that perhaps being the belt has some quite acute angles it may be just the belt when cold took a while to warm up and settle down.

I'll get the gubbins out today and have look at the switch. With all this damp weather recently there has been a lot of condensation in the car maybe the switch has got damp.

Omega General Help / Interior reading lamp dooolaly.
« on: 23 February 2014, 11:38:37 »
Hi Recently I have noticed that when turning on the ignition the lamps that light up automatically go off ok but the one on the passenger side switches to reading lamp and will not switch off so I am driving about with the damn thing on all the time. Its a bit strange as these lamps are off when I open the door, just the ones that always come on. these go off when I switch on the ignition. The lamps switch from one to the other only on the passenger side.
Could it be the damp or something perhaps. I dunno I'm confused.

I had this problem a long time ago and if I remember rightly it was a vacuum pipe down the bottom of the bagpipes.

Omega General Help / Re - fuel injectors.
« on: 25 January 2014, 12:04:45 »
I asked the question a while ago and I have had a result. First I changed the spark plugs. no change. I changed the plug leads still no change. I then changed the diss pack again and now everything seems ok.> This grieves me a bit as I had fitted a brand new one a few months ago.. Everything was bone dry when I took out this one so I took it to bits, cut the bottom off it all looked ok but by the look of the spark plugs when I too em out the three even no's were pretty black so half the diss pack was at fault. there is nothing obvious so I will check the windings etc.
Any way every thing seems OK. now.
Now I have to change the alternater. Making a hell of a noise and the batt. keeps going flat.
Thanks for all your suggestions.

Omega General Help / Re: V6 fuel injectors.
« on: 19 January 2014, 19:20:44 »Did you look at my thread?
You forgot the link.
Here http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=120511.0
I don't think its fuel or diss pack now. It's a regular misfire on one cylinder so I am suspecting a lead or plug. Going to have a look tomorrow.

« on: 19 January 2014, 08:58:17 »I certainly wouldn't say the windscreen seal isn't a problem, as that link. While its fine if fitted correctly, they do have a habit of coming adrift from the screen ime.Yes this where the original problem started think though I have sealed it up now and it doesn't seem to leak anymore. Same thing with the last two Omega's.
Not sure why, but the last 3 3.2s I've had all had a loose screen to scuttle seal, where it's come in lipped from the screen.
Obviously if that happens, all the water off the screen just poors into the engine bay.
A test with a hose or a watering can will find any leaks.

Already did the scuttle. and the sockets on the diss pack dry as a bone.

« on: 18 January 2014, 13:51:59 »Any evidence of water around/on/above the new dis pack :-What problems are you having with the car? What makes you think your injector is suspect?
The engine has a regular misfire. I have changed the diss pack and plug leads. Though I haven't looked at the spark plugs they were changed a couple of months ago.
The misfire started quite suddenly after the heavy rain.
The diss pack is dry and along the well where the plug leads are though the were wet when the misfire started. The diss pack is new and anyway water cant get into the bit where the leads plug in, the seal is too good.

In other words don't bother.
