Omega General Help / Re: Does your windscreen blower suck?

« on: 17 January 2013, 22:24:14 »

Call me mental if you will, but I've just wandered back to the car to have a look at the 'vents' again and both are solid plastic that don't budge at all and there's no rubber portion that might flap open.

They are about 10cm by 8cm by about 3-4cm thick and about 5cm apart, bolted to the outer metal behind the compartment flap.

I took a picture which I'll try to upload this evening.

Is there some kind of motor which does something to them? I jiggled them hard to see if there was any movement and there was nothing. They just look like they are fixed to the car.

Its these pair which are the outlet vents 

Does the estate have these, and if so where?

Hi Everyone, newbie signing in.

I've just bought an Omega 2.6 estate as a winter barge while my VX220 is in hibernation to tackle some minor jobs. I've run the VX over three winters now, but it isn't very pleasant when you have to chip ice off the inside of the windscreen and wear gloves just to change gear. This winter I will be looking forward to using the heated seats and having a heater capable of blowing more than tepid air.

While I expect to have to do some maintenance over the next few months, I think I got a lot of car for the mere £600 I paid for it as  everything works as it should and barring an annoying rattle from the door lock button next to my right ear and a knock from somewhere on the drivers side suspension a wash and hoover out should see it as good as new.

My plan is to keep it over the winter until the VX hits the road again and then sell/scrap/give it to son but who knows every house needs a huge estate car and beside you can't put a mountain bike in VX220
