Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: AirCon Issues

« on: 07 August 2013, 19:14:08 »

Ok, i will get the garage to have a check of the system , although the Air seems to be not AirCon cool, but cooler than the temperature outside, so i asuume its just leaking.

Also i took of the aircon cap near the front rad and it started leaking air out, So im guessing that its leaking from that place?

Hey guys, i just got my Aircon regassed about 1 week ago, and yesterday on my way back from work it stopped working, no more cold air.

Could this mean that the gas is leaking from somewhere? And if it is how do i check this?

Thanks a lot guys

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Reverse Parking Sensor

« on: 30 July 2013, 11:10:32 »

Morning all, im having some trouble with the Reverse Parking Sensors. Every time i put the car in reverse gear on my Elite it makes either a continues beep noise, or a long beep every few seconds, this is when nothing is behind the car. Also getting closer to objects doesnt change the beep. I think i may need to replace the sensors and the problem will stop. But not too sure

Thanks for your help guys

You sir are Correct , fans didnt kick in till the car got to around 90ish, so its all good

I have flushed the system about 5 times, and water seems to coming out clean, althought there is very little particles in the Coolant Tank, that just wont go away

But i guess its ok to drive now ??

Hi guys, i Finally got all the parts i needed on Tuesday, and got around fitting them on Wednesday, then yesterday started trying to flush the system out yesterday, but i noticed that the Radiator Fan never kicked in , Does it only turn on if the car is in Drive and has been moving about?

Also the temperature seems to go up to around 90, then it stays there, so that must mean its working, but 90 seems a bit high doesnt it?

Hi guys, im having a little problem with the two oil pipes above the oil cooler, how do i move them out of the way? Do they need to be loosened from another place then removed?

For reference:- http://oldsite.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1221081908/0

the 5th picture, the two pipes just above the cooler

If someone has pictures of how to remove them/get them out of the way please can you post them

Thanks

Get some Radiator flush from a Plumbing Shop, about 20 quid and does about 100 litres, personally as said a few posts up, I found Industrial Oven Cleaner to work best of all, from my local Pub. 

Ahh yes the Industrial Oven Cleaner , i will try and get some if i cant then ill just use whatever i can get my hands on to

But i got a quick question, which is kind of a stupid question but im just wondering, is it possible to clean the system using the old Oil Cooler? I would think not as all it would do is keep mixing the Oil into the Water

No, you be wasting your time to be honest.

I thought so, just wanted to make sure as i dont have much time to waste

Ahh i see, i was thinking of getting a couple of Forte Lubricants Car Bio Cooling Coolant System Degreaser - 400ml, but i think 400ml wont be enough so i will be buying about 3 bottles.

But firstly i need to talk to Andy C and see what he can do for me, in terms of getting the Oil Cooler, then i will replace the old one, and put everything back together and flush the system

@Andy B, fair point LOL

@Kevinp58, I just asked, it doesn't include them ,  but i am about to order this, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-OIL-COOLER-V6-OMEGA-SINTRA-SIGNUM-93176626-/190843297148?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c6f259d7c

Can anyone give any advice on how to flush the system? As i have replaced the Rad, with a second hand one from a mate of mine, and well i dont want to have the slim and glup and whatever u want to call it going through the "new" rad lol. Bit of a silly mistake by me as i should of tried to flush the system with the old rad, so does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks
