Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Central locking problem
« on: 19 February 2013, 17:43:40 »
Try the reset of the central locking
1. key in ignition and turn to lights come on (must be done within 10 sec)
2. Press the lock or unlock on remote fob/key until the doors lock/unlock
3. Turn off ignition
4. Try locking the car with fob/key whilst in the car, (at least if in the car you can get out easily)
If I have missed something I'm sure someone will be along for the pointer

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Temp Gauge Not Working Resolved
« on: 18 February 2013, 20:11:24 »
Hi guys, Haven't posted for a while so thought I would give you all an update on the gauge situation.
Original thread here
http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=89541.0
For three and half years I have had no temp gauge working and this has been giving me hassle to try and resolve this problem. All the tests I tried did not work so thought I would remove the clocks to have a look behind them and this is what I found
I found the problem to the problem, wish I had looked here first
So I decided to buy another set of clocks which I purchased from OSP, don't worry everyone they were the same clocks. Fitted them into the car and went to check them by earthing the temp gauge but nothing, the needle didn't even move aahhhhhhh!! back to square one.
When earthing the gauge out the needle doesn't move but the red light comes on, so this doesn't work, as a friend of mine tried it and his didn't work when earthing it out either, so heated the temp sensor and earthed it out and the needle moved up to the red yeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaa!! a working gauge problem solved
So at the weekend the plenum, inlet etc will be removed and the sensor put back in its rightful place. If anyone has a situation like mine then check the back of the gauges to make sure the track is in good condition and not broken, see pic above.
If anyone needs to get replacement clocks make sure they are the correct ones, check you Ident code and product number, the product code is the eight digit number and the Ident code is two letters, see below

she is still MOT'D until Jan, no advisories on the last MOT so there shouldn't be any problems, No tax cos I couldn't afford to re-tax thats why it's SORN. If I could re-tax I wouldn't be selling

Omega General Help / Re: possible oil pump gone or something worse?
« on: 22 July 2012, 14:04:15 »
after doing the gaskets, when he broke down, he was told that the cam cover could be warped which would explain why the cam covers were leaking after the gaskets were replaced. The hoses for the breather were clear along with the breathers themselves, so everything was clear.

Omega General Help / possible oil pump gone or something worse?
« on: 22 July 2012, 11:13:08 »
Ok chaps, where do I begin
After resealing the cam cover gaskets on a v6 and we started the engine to see if any more leaks appeared thankfully there was none so my mate then made his way home. After joining the M4 at junction 11 the oil light came on then a knocking noise, with that he pulled over onto the hard shoulder and rang me to let me know what had happened. After a while he got recovered back to Maidenhead and he sent me a recording of the noise now it sounded like bottom end had gone but now thinking about it could it be the oil pump due to the oil light coming on as this would show that there is no or little oil pressure. Would like to know what it is so he can decide wether to repair or strip.
Any help and info would be appreciated.
