Omega Electrical and Audio Help / estate rear wiper

« on: 23 January 2011, 17:01:16 »

The rear wiper on my estate seems to have a mind of its own when switched on, it does about two thirds of a wipe then stops. then it will finish that wipe and come back about half way and so on. I assume its either no permanent supply to the motor thats the cause??? i have looked in the boot lid and there is two wires on a plug (earth seperate and ok) a blue one and a purple with black tracer. when i unplug the motor i have permanent +12v on one wire and nothing on the other. (i would expect a pulse of 12v from the relay here). If i plug the motor back in there is no permanent +12v any more when switched on  but i get a pulse on both wires??? have i a duff motor, relay, fuse or wiring??? many thanks. :-/

Its probably quicker to rip the whole lot out now and put in a single head unit, i dont even have a working aeriel in the car so i was going to retro fit one in the roof ( the aeriel that is  )

Anyone know how to get the cd to eject the 6 disc cartridge to put discs in? when i open the door on the changer and press the eject button it lights up green for a couple of seconds but doesnt eject?? am i power missing from somewhere or is there a factory reset button to press. the car was stood for a long time with no battery but the radio doesnt seem to need a code at power up (good really as i dont have the code)

Omega General Help / Re: fuel pump filter cleaning

« on: 07 November 2010, 14:18:34 »

well its all back together now but on test drive i cant tell that much diference. it seems to start a bit better and it seems more driveable setting off from junctions so in that way it is better but generally it still seems flat on acceleration till the turbo kicks in. i ahve took offf the plastic part in the engine today which says turbo diesel on it and it looks fairly clean inside, running the engine with that off, the turbo seems to be boosting ok too. at the other end where it connects on ( the egr valve assembly i think) :question it was crusted up all over the spindle from the diaphragm valve, i have scraped off the worst of it but what is best to clean it with and can it be done in situ?? i have also heard of people blanking off the egr connection, where would that be done?? many thanks

its still got some diesel in so is there a good way of doing it without removing the tank, naturally i want it as clean as i can cos the prospect of having to take that bloody swirl pot again fills me with dread.

i will inspect the tank further tomorrow to see if there are any more clues. i used the method you used and opened each clip and then used a small drill bit to act as a wedge then onto the next one. still a bag to do, but looking at all the crap in it, its well worth the effort.

Quick update. Finally got the swirl pot out of the tank and as said in the how to thread, it is a bitch to do. Both the filter and the swirl pot caked in crap, but also found in the tank some more pieces of blue plastic, now this isnt insulation tape as far as i can tell, but  there was a piece stuck to the filter base, another smaller piece in the swirl pot, another piece about inch and a half long stuck in the opening where the return elbow clips onto the bottom of the swirl pot and another small piece floating in the tank near the fuel pump. Anyone have any idea what the plastic could have come from? are the fuel lines lined with a plastic type material or is there a gasket made from that type of product???. One thing i know for sure, if i get it back together, it wont run any worse

Omega General Help / fuel pump filter cleaning

« on: 06 November 2010, 15:59:18 »

i have pulled the fuel pump out of the tank today to inspect it, and it was clogged with loads of black crap and bits of blue plastic?? anyway i have disconnected the elctrical wires and the fuel hose from the top plate to allow it to come out. i have then dismantled it further which resulted in me removing the fuel pipe from the top of the pump itself, not sure if i have done right here or maybe gone a bit to far, i cant get the filter of the bottom and cant seem to release the pump/filter from its immediate plastic surrounding. Not sure if this is as far as i can go or whether i have gone too far at this point. what should i cklean the pump/ filter with. obviously being blockedthings should be better when it goes back together if i can remember how it all fits together?? HELP!!!!

no air con doesnt work, think a regas is required, but not high on my priority at the moment, needs new exhaust, windscreen, leaky sunroof fixing, fuel pump refitting, shocks all round and a new paint job, car isnt worth it but i do like it, being old and smelly and all that
