Omega General Help / Headlamp
« on: 11 July 2008, 10:55:45 »
I have a Omega on a V plate, 1st of the facelift, and I have lost the headlamp bulb retaing clip. I have been told by my local dealer that you can only buy this as part of a complete headlamp assy. I have tried local scrap yards but can't find either the retaning clip or headlamp. Anybody any ideas what I can do. Thanks

Hi  ;D My headlamp warning buzzer is not working and I was wondering where it is located and is it any easy job to replace. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Alan  :y

It depends! It seem as though most cars have the buzzer incorporated within the main light switch. Others, my 99 Elite included, it's above the front passenger's feet.

Thanks Andy for your help. Mine is a GLS model so I will contact my local dealer to find out where it is. Alan

Omega General Help / Re: Pollen filter

it depends on if your omega is a facelift model or not. If not then it's a white coloured filter, if facelift they use an activated charcoal (grey coloured) one, this is required if you use the automatic air recirculation feature. If you don't then you can get away with the (cheaper) non-activated charcoal one.916

cheapo (older) filter is P/N 93182438 (or maybe 90510338)
activated charcoal type is P/N 93165208 (which supersedes 9162646)

Thanks very much. My car is the facelift model, I have just rung my local dealer and would you beleive it they don't stock that part number filter. I explained what it was and the reply was, " we always supply the white coloured filter". Now going to ring around motor factors to see if they are more helpful. Alan ::) ::)

Omega General Help / Pollen filter
« on: 05 July 2007, 23:57:31 »
I have seen it somewhere in the forum about a carbon pollen filter when climate control is fitted. I have asked my local Vauxhall dealer, parts dept, about this and they tell me there is only one filter which is a paper type. The guy who looks after my car, he is a mechanic at the same dealership, agrees with the parts dept. that there is only one pollen filter. I am confused. Can anybody tell me the part number for the carbon filter. Thanks Alan

Welcome. Wow, those cars have covered more miles than some people drive in a lifetime!!


When you have been doing the job I have for nearly 10yrs. you knock up the mileage. Looking after them on a regular basis is the key to trouble free motoring, which I have had. My wife is alwys complaing that I lavish more attention on my car than I do on her.

by the way snap on the mileage ,but i'm nearly on 158 thousand,nearly there ;D ;D ;D

Didn't know there was a sight like this until I clicked on a link from a seller on eBay. Just a bit of info: I am a self employed chauffeur and this is the 3rd Omega I have had. My 2 previous one's were 2.O 16 valve and both had done well into 250000 miles, and not one of them let me down. My current one is a 2.5 V6 GLS on a V plate, the face lift model, and at the moment it has done 157000 with no signs of trouble. Look foward to posting and reading topics. Just one more thing, why did Opel / Vauxhall think that the Signum could ever reolace this car. Alan  :)

General Discussion Area / Lower suspension arm bushes
« on: 30 June 2007, 20:43:17 »
Had a an advisory on my MOT for lower suspension arm bushes. Got quotes for replacing these and nobody wanted to know. I had one quote from one of these so called quick fit places and they wanted £210.00. I bought 2 arms from a local parts supplier for £50.00 and got a local garage to fit them for me for £80. It pays to check around, and  I saved myself £80. Alan  :y
