Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Diagnostics Interface?

« on: 27 August 2009, 03:34:36 »

Has anybody on here got an OBD-II tool? I know TheBoy has the Tech2.

Standard OBDII (Approx £30 - £100)
Many different types, either standalone device, or ELM32x type devices. Reliable, often easy to use. Many can do Live Data.

Reads 2.2/2.6/3.2 engines only (some may also do partial autobox code reads).

For ELM devices, try http://www.scantool.net

Also TheBoy's topic (above) only mentioned the 2.2/2.6/3.2 engines, does this mean they don't work on 2.5 V6?

I'm new to Omega's never mind Diagnostics, I need help finding a cheap reliable OBD-II for my Omega which provides live data too!

Thanks alot,
Alex

A photo would help to identify this mysterious bung (or a clearer description)

OK, I'll get it back on the lift and take a photo.

Cheers

Note to Mod: Note sure to where to post this.

That sounds a decent price, but the breakers on here will supply a guaranteed pump. just a thought.

  I'm not worried about looking foolish Andy H as like you say if you don't ask ?s, silly or not then how are you going to learn anything, and to me with what i knew about the P/S setup on a Mig what i said seemed to make sense to me anyway but was only trying to help and not be confusing .

I'm wondering if a PAS Pump from a 1998 2.5 V6 would work on a 2000 2.5 V6. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanking youuuu  8-)

As far as I know, it's only the very late cars that have a different pump (different pipework too) but other than that a V6 pump is a V6 pump.

I see, there is only 2 years between them like. Can anyone else confirm if it would work?

Cheers

I think you'll find these are electrically assisted so check you haven't blown a fuse .

Yes I have checked it, It's ok.

I've seen a pump from a 1998 2.5 V6 for £20 "Buy It Now or Best Offer" and £5 Delivery. I might just offer £20 for it with delivery, depends if it works with my 2000 2.5 V6.  :-?

My power steering is not working, I think its a fauly pump.

It only works when I accelerate. If I am not moving I put it into Neutral give it a few revs and the steering wheel moves easier. But this causes me to dry steer.

Due to my friend crashing my Omega into a wooden post, I've had to hunt for a new bootlid.

Because I cannot find one to match my colour, also some marks and scratchs and rear bumper getting replaced, I'm interestred in a nice re-spray.

Can OOF spare me some info please?

Thanks alot,
Alex

Omega General Help / My First Omega <3

« on: 26 August 2009, 04:10:09 »

Just to let you know before I start this is my first post.

Hello OOF, how are you?

I've been an Omega fan for quite a while now and I've took a liking to the MV6(s). Before I waste my money learning about these things I've decided to buy a cheaper Omega.

My friend is selling his Omega for a little more money to add to his savings for a new car (Volkswagen Golf 2.8 V6 4motion). Another reason for selling is that he also cannot be bothered fixing a few problems with it.

Details:
- 2000
- Omega CDX
- 2.5 V6
- Automatic
- Saloon

Comes with:
- 6 Months TAX
- 6 Months MOT
- Full Service History

Also everything the trim has e.g:
- Electric Mirrors, Heated Seats, Sunroof & Windows
- Wooden Facia
- Alloy Wheels
- CD/Radio
- Climate Control
- Central Locking
- Power Steering

Now the problems:
- Engine oil leaking
- PAS pump faulty
- Transmission fluid seal/bung missing
- Bootlid & Rear bumper damaged (He recently reversed into a wooden-post which has left a nice imprint into the rear of the car )

Considering the problems, he's done me deal for just £400 because he was going to scrap it (I don't know why he do such a thing!).

Upgrades I have in mind:
- Blue LED upgrade kit (Converts: Speedometer, Mileage display, Center computer display, LCD heater display, Ashtray & Cigarette lighter)
- Hunt for leather interior (Heated seats, side panels etc.)
- Sports filters (Air, Oil, Fuel)
- Sports exhaust
(More to come!)

Now having read parts of these forums, I have a few questions for OOF:

1. Is this a good deal?
2. Can this engine oil leak or is it too much of a problem? (I've been told most garages hate working on V6's)
3. Any particular PAS pump I need? & rough price?
4. Where to find a Transmission fluid seal/bung? & rough price?
5. Rough price for Bootlid?
6. Rough price for Rear bumper?
7. Rough price for Leather interior?
8. What difference do sports filters make? (Air, Oil & Fuel)
9. What difference does a sports exhaust make? Rough price?

Thanks alot,
Alex
