Title: 2.6 v6 mv6 various issues
Post by: mav1508 on 23 March 2015, 15:10:02

Good afternoon all
Well I've got back into yet another omega..,
Not without its issues though, having only owed it less than a day I've already got a few issues.
1, the heating. It's only blowing warm air on the passenger vents and the rear. The drivers are blowing cold..? Any ideas where to start.
2,the information module isn't working haven't got any idea what radio station I'm on lol. The radio works, I have a couple of dashboard bulbs out, but the info console nothing..?
3, Central Locking. All works fine, but the drivers door just keeps popping up. So I have to lock the car manually, or with the remote if I want to leave the drivers door unlocked.?
I'm sure I will have other problems. But none have raised there head yet..
Thanks in advance.

1. Cure is in the guides :y

2. Probably the bulbs... Easy enough to check when you sort the others :y

3. Standard failed door solenoid. Either fix or replace. Guides for both :y

As Taxi Al says....number three..door solenoid.

I had this problem, probably work for you. If you want to lock on remote, before you get it fixed....
Try clicking the remote six times...mine always locked on the sixth go :y
Causes a few stares, but it worked every time without fail. ::)

Sorry you've lost me regarding point one..?
I take it there is a guide somewhere on here that Relates to the heating issue.. Could it be thermostat..?

As far as the heater blowing cold on one side only.. I fixed this one Sunday.. Thought it was going to be a pig of a job which is why I left it for so long...  Only took 15mins.
