Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Airbag reset tool
« on: 09 October 2010, 13:37:11 »
Replaced the seats a few weeks ago and all went okay, no airbay light. Driving home from work last night and the airbag light came on. I assume a connector may be at fault or dirty. Will I require a code reset tool to clear this fault after I have cleaned and checked the cabling? Can anyone recommend one? I'm in south derbyshire and my car is a 2001 CD saloon model.
Also, where is the connector located?
Thanks in advance

Anyone used winter tyres? Thinking of getting a set for next winter.
Alloys, will the Astra 5 stud ones fit? Or does anyone know what Vauxhall alloys will fit a 2001 Oemga?

Omega General Help / Exhaust / Cats Joint
« on: 20 October 2010, 19:14:35 »
Well this is my second Omega that the joints are rotting where the exhaust meets the cats and its the cat side thats rough. The exhaust looks like its only been on the car a couple of years showing very little rust.
Anybody managed to replace the couplings? I am thinking of chopping back the rusty section if I can get just the coupling.
Also sizes or where to buy from, if poss.

Omega General Help / Front seats. Someone's been here before!
« on: 11 September 2010, 17:56:59 »
Started to fit a leather set of seats, rear ones in all okay. Looking at the passenger seat the bolts are scratched and I can see non-standard cables so I reckon this seat has been out before.
Any way, one of the bolt heads (torx) has damage...............points ground off............
Ideas to remove this bolt would be welcomed!
(The battery had been disconnected for 30 mins before I started - air bags and all that!

Hi. It sounds from your description as though you are talking about the auxilliary (air con, water pump etc) drive belt tensioner pulley.
There is a test you can do. Make a note of how the belt is routed and then remove it. Then run the engine for a short while. If the noise has gone then there is a fair chance that it is the pulley bearing. If you spin it whilst it hasn't got the belt on it may also sound "rough".
The pulley is fairly easy to remove and there is a grease retaining seal that you can carefully prise off and then repack the bearing with clean grease and press the seal back home.
Hope that helps
Alternatively you can buy new or a known good secondhand.
Any idea what to pay at Vauxhall?

Omega General Help / Noise - Pulley
« on: 05 August 2010, 20:04:38 »
My motor has starting making a loud noise, sounds like bearings coming from the pulley directly above the alternater. My car is a 2.6 v6 petrol 2001.
Is that just a tensioner or is the pulley driving something?

« on: 09 June 2010, 18:56:29 »
Tyres seem okay all round with no uneven wear with 31/32 PSI. I am sure I read somewhere that the steering idler could be at fault. The only noise that has started to happen is when the weight of the car is on the front passenger side & you catch bad road there is a knock but only happens on one bit of road with adverse camber coming back from work. The steering idler is on that side? Right/Wrong?

Thanks for the quick reply. Might be a daft question but where is the locking tab for the pretensioner?
I have replaced many interiors in my time but none as yet with air bags in the seats. Just don't want to mess up and end up paying out to get the air bag light reset.

What's the best or correct way to replace the front seats (with side airbags) so the airbag light doesn't come on?
