Omega General Help / Re: Howto remove sump 2.5TD?

« on: 17 November 2012, 16:21:48 »

Sold the car yesterday, so I never got to fix it.
Sure I've could get more if I fixed it, but to say it gently I was sick of the car.

Just wanted to tell you guys. I hate it when forum treads just die out with no conclution.

Omega General Help / Howto remove sump 2.5TD?

« on: 29 October 2012, 18:00:52 »

Hi folks.
I got a Omega B 2.5 TD.
I've got a small hole in the engine oil sump and needs to get it welded or replaced. I hope it can be welded as a new sump costs £500 here in Norway.

The problem is to remove the sump, as the sump is lying over the traverse, making it harder to remove.

I have thought of 2 possible solutions, what do you think will be the best alternative, or du you have another alternativer?

1. Remove the traverse with all that follows while holding the engine up with an engine hoist.

2. Lift the engine up 15-20 centimeters or so, so I can drop the sump and slide it out.
It may seem like the easiest way, but I'll guess I need to disconnect a lot of hoses and cables, and possibily the exhaust.

It should be mentioned that I will replace the steering box? (the part that connects the steering wheel with the wheels) at the same time. Another tough job from what I can tell...

Omega General Help / Re: Trouble with power assisted steering

Yes it was parked outside. It was parked on grass so I'll guess this could be it.
I tried to search the forum, but I found no result.

I will try to re-grease it some times hoping it will be ok.
Thanks.

Omega General Help / Trouble with power assisted steering

« on: 17 September 2011, 07:29:38 »

I got a '94 Omega 2.5 TD auto.
The power assisted steering is not working properly.
When I turn right is works pretty good (not 100%) but when I turn left it is really hard but there is some assist.
I have checked the PAS-container and if i almost empty the container for fluid I can see small bubbles so I'll guess tha pump is working.
I have also changed the fluid by emptying the container and replacing the fluid several times.

I checked the #14 fuse and it's OK.

The car has been crashed in the front before I bought it. The damage was bumper, hood and one headlight so it should'nt have affected the steering.
The car has also been parked for 3 years before I bought it so there could bee something there.

Hope there is anybody else been seeing this trouble and can help.

Omega General Help / Re: Trouble with starter motor

Thanks for the reply's.
I live in Norway, and here a new (refurbished I think) costs £450. That's a bit over our budget at the moment.

I checked the rockauto webshop and there I can get one for £220 with shipment and taxes, so I'll guess I order one from there.

Omega General Help / Trouble with starter motor

« on: 17 September 2011, 07:17:07 »

I got a '94 Omega 2.5 TD auto.
The starter spins but it does not engage the flywheel most of the time.
So I picked the starter motor out to see what's wrong.
When the starter motor was outside the car it worked every time, and I see that the gears move all the way out. The only thing I noticed was the axle was a little slack, not much.
The starter motor is the type with the reduction gear.

I greased the axle as I thought it could be that the gears did not go smooth on the axle, but it did not work.

The starter eventually works, but it requires a lot (often 50+) turns by the key.

I did not open the starter motor, as it seemed OK, but if I take out the starter motor again, what should I look for when I open it?
