Please help. I have no heat in the car. The engine are hot (92degrees C). I have a Omega 1996 MV6 X25XE engine and there is two electrical ciculationpumps in it. One is for the parking heater.
When I am using the parking heater then it is heat in the car but without it no.

I checked the pump what is placed on the radiator and it semes there is no power to it and I wonder how is it connected?
I found a relay that someone told me was for that pump so I changed it but there is no difference.
So I don't know how to do to get heat in the car.

Not sure what your problem is, but the pump next to the radiator will only run when your engine has stopped in high ambient temperatures to prevent hotspots around your engine. (I doubt that your pump will run very often in Sweden  )

Ok, the pump that is under the expansion bottle is not running either unless I am turning on the parking heater. And as I have heared from Opel here in Sweden this pump was put in extra to get more heat in the car in wintertime.
(It is two pumps in the car).

Sorry, I can't be of any more help. Some UK cars have two pumps too, but mine only has the pump next to the radiator.

Ok thanks anyway.
Maybe someone who read my question here and maybe can help me.

OK I do not understand any of the OP question............however I had a 95 Omega with no heat, after it had been into Vx for work, and they denied that anything they had done would be the cause.......they lied.....
OK, not quite sure of your problem but the early Omega's heating controls were adjusted via vacuum and in my case a vacuum line had been wrongly refitted, melted, and stopped the direction control..is this something you should be checking?......

My Omega has ECC and it is controlled by electrical servos, and that I have been checking so it works. In Omega there is an secondary pump mounted on the radiator, and in some cars there is two pumps. As in my car. That extra pump was mounted in the car by Opel (I suppose it 's only where the winter climate is like here in Sweden) to gain extra heat in to the car.
Somehow this one what I have is wrongly mounted so it doesn't work. I have been asking Opel how it should work but they coudn't answer because the car is too old.
That's why I am asking here if someone has an idea how it works and how it is connected electically. What control this pump?

Not just Sweden, it's fitted to some UK cars too..

I have to answer myself. Due to that there is two pumps in my car I did check the electrical power to the two of them. And one had the other one didn't. Well that is normal because one of them should only work when the car is turned off. So the second one should have power all the time so I was checking up the pump and it didn't work. So I did change the pump and now I have heat in the car. And good heat as well.

Good result!     
So the pump you changed was the one near the header tank 

[opeldåre]

Yes it is under the header tank
