Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Cannot turn off the alarm and start the engine

« on: 25 March 2010, 12:16:29 »

Hi,

thanks for help, will try it when I got from work.
I have the large oval keyfob with one circle button for locking/unlocking and little button on side for 2nd phase of locking. I thought it is done by longer hold of the circular button, but the result was only several flashes of the led on keyfob. So I will try tu push it as for lock and then push it again.
I hope this will work, but what are other possibilities, if it doesnīt?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Cannot turn off the alarm and start the engine

« on: 25 March 2010, 09:52:26 »

Greetings and salutations again

So as the spring finally came here, I have decided to fix my older Omega (2.5 V6 Caravan made in 1994).
It got totally frozen during winter (even with antifreeze), so it wasnīt running for cca 3 months and it killed my battery. So today I put new one and the alarm started to horn, but I was unable to stop it with fob (the battery in fob should be okay, the LED is blinking). I had to unlock the car with key, which turned off the alarm sound, but the alarm light in car is still on. When I tried to start up, everything lighted up, but that was all. The engine even didnīt try to start.
I suppose it is because the alarm wasn't turned off properly, but what can I do now? Also few years ago I had to change the ingnition lock, so I have one key with fob for unlocking the car and second key without anything to start the engine.

Thanks for any help

I wish I didnīt ask about this The ignorance is bliss So much problems...

The main thing I would like to achieve is the ability to play CD because I do not have possibility to record cassettes anymore
The second thing is I would like to have some graphic display or navi in car, but that is not so important.

Oh no

I just put those as example what I ment by newer GM products (those were the first I have found in quick search).

So the best solution now would be to buy another head from BOSE equiped Omega? Or are there also some limits/complications?

That is bad The sound is OK for me and I dont have time and experience to change all stuff. I just need the possibility to play CDs at least. Video/nav/bluetooth will be nice bonus... Why it has to be different 
Honestly, I didn't have any head unit in mind I wanted to know if it is possible before I will look for some (so I will know the parameters needed)

Greetings and salutations.

I would like to ask in this topic instead of creating a new one. I am also trying to change head unit on BOSE system with something better. I was googling for something and I have found some adapter from SCOSCHE which should be designed right for lowering signal from standart unit to BOSE amp. As I am no expert in this, I would like to ask if this can work? Or is it possible to use other headunit from newer BOSE equiped GM cars?

Yup as I understood there is no performance gain from cone filter, I was even warned about performance loss. But that sound is nice, so I am looking for ways how to use it

Omega General Help / Cats question and intake question :)

« on: 23 August 2011, 14:45:26 »

Greetings and salutations.

once again I have few questions

a) I am going to change cats on my 3.0 '98 Omega.
With this I would like to replace exhaust manifolds (or how is it called) from those from 3.2 to lower the restriction. The cats I would like to use the MagnaFlow ones as I like the sound of them But from I understood from this forum, Omega needs some good backpressure and since MagnaFlow is promissing lowering of this, won't this be too much (I will also replace middle mufflers with resonators)? Also I have found on their pages only cats for Omega that can be used in California, so they are quite expensive. Is there a way to find universal cat that is suitable for it?

b) I would like to use cone filter I know it is bad as it takes hot air from engine bay, but I like how it highlitghts the V6 roar, so I am thinking about ways how to get it without hampering performance.
So what if I will install a metal sheet around it to isolate it from the rest of the bay. Furthermore I will make the intake on hood (like for intercooler) to blow the air directly from outside onto cone. That way no hot air from engine can be sucked in, right? I think I will have to clean it more often, but what if it will be raining and water will get on it? Or can there be another problem?

Sorry if those questions are dumb, I am still noob around cars.

Thank you for any answer

Thanks for any help

I was in workshop for some strange sounds check and they told me, that (besides other unknown causes) I have bad mufflers and also that my catalytic converters are gone. You can hear the sound of exhaust here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ2wYBWSlDI

I can also hear strange tapping sound from oil filler tube (only when it is opened), when the engine is warm I can hear some squeeking sound from it, after starting up cold engine in hot weather, it is probably running only as V5 and I have leaking valve cover gasket. Since I have mistakely used 5W30 oil during oil change, I hope all of those are caused by this oil and I am planning to change it to 10W40 and change the valve cover gasket.

Omega General Help / Catalytic Converter for MV6

« on: 19 May 2011, 13:30:44 »

Greetings and salutations,

it seems that catalytic converters on my 3.0 Omega are dead. As original ones are too expensive and I got good opinions about Magnaflow, I would like to ask about those. The problem is, that although on official magnaflow pages there is listed direct fit converter for Omega (3pcs avaiable), I cannot find it anywhere (even on their listed online dealers). Can anyone point to where can I order them? Or if I cannot buy direct fit, I was thinking about universal ones. For example here: http://www.jdmultimate.com/Product/i-155312.aspx?Year=1997-2001&Make=CADILLAC&Model=CATERA is listed one for Catera (which is USA Omega, right?), will this be OK?

Thanks for any help.
