Well I’ve had chance to pull 5 of the leads off.

The 6th been the one on the N/S at back of engine without some dismantling- which I was looking to avoid.

All 5 examined were dry of oil although possibly some moisture on N/S bank. Probably with it being laid up in the weather we’ve had.

I’ve dosed the insides of leads removed  with WD40 and given the area around the rear of the N/S a liberal spray of WD40 to deter future moisture.

Took for a drive and all seems fine at moment 🤞

Omega General Help / Intermittent missing

« on: 13 June 2024, 06:37:11 »

Morning all

Know it’s been mentioned heaps of times before with other members cars, but this 3.0 MV6 of mine started missing the other day - in fairness it has been laid up a while.

There is reasonably fresh fuel in it so don’t think it’s old fuel as I put a chunk in when I taxed it at start of month.

This is only seemingly at low revs as cruises ok at 70 and the problem is intermittent. Thought I’d given it a good blow out yesterday as travelled 15 or so miles at 60-70 without so much as a peep, but on way back there was the odd tell tale hiccup.

So I guess it’s either plugs, leads, coil pack or combo.

To save the pain in arse coil pack replacement, could it be more down to lead(s) breaking down ?🤔🤞

Just with it being intermittent I’m thinking coil pack unfortunately.

I’ve a spare set of leads so it’s probably process of elimination - fitting them is not too easy with the delightful location of said coil pack.

I’ve a pair of Xenon headlights complete which a 1999 CDX would probably have.

Is yours a PFL omega ?

Thanks guys - will pop on and off as still like to keep up to date on things Omega.

Hard choice but hate to see them just sat there not been used - does them no good. If I had a heated garage/ indoor space free I would have kept it and lifted weight of wheels and kept it there but sadly I have not.

I will post on the for sale section what I have

General Car Chat / Sadly leaving Omega world

« on: 05 March 2024, 06:44:21 »

Well after some tough decisions I’ve decided to thin down my car collection.

One of which to go is my Omega MFL 1999 MV6 manual in Champagne (but it had the leather so looked good combo) with 58k miles 😔. Now sold to an enthusiastic younger chap. Just wasn’t using it and they need using, plus could see on horizon it would need more upkeep and paintwork.

Thanks for all help on forum over the years I’ve had - certainly learned a lot.

I’ve a lot of parts which I’ll have to put on eBay - mainly trim, door mirrors, boot lid and bonnet, MV6 boot spoiler and the infamous V6 coolant pipe (that welds itself to the thermostat housing and bracket that usually snaps).

I’ve less than 250 points on here at 241 so can’t list stuff here.

I’ll keep bobbing on forum as still love these cars.

Omega General Help / Re: Horn not working - 1999 MV6

« on: 27 August 2023, 22:58:24 »

Thanks for replies.

I’ll check steering wheel contacts and clock spring

I’ve a feeling that both horns wouldn’t pack in simultaneously so must be current supply.

Wiring to horns could also be issue but as I say both going at once and neither horn buttons are working leads me to think horn button electrics  🤔

Hi

No neither buttons work nor any horn

Easy enough to remove airbag etc the Tex screws so I’ll try that.

No power at relay so guess buttons not creating a circuit.

Omega General Help / Horn not working - 1999 MV6

« on: 26 August 2023, 18:44:35 »

Evening

Guess there’s a solution somewhere before.

Neither horn button works on my 1999 MV6.

It used to but not anymore.

Changed the relay twice for 2 spares, fuse fine + swapped it just in case, tapped horns under car a few times to jiggle them into life and felt around the wiring which all seems secure under NS front.

Only thing I’ve not done is remove airbag and check condition of button electrics - but neither work.

Also the there’s no vibration/click from relay if you hold it whilst depressing horn buttons. 
 
Other than check the button electrics is there anything else ?

I’ve not removed horns nor tried a direct feed to them but on my radar to do unless something daft
