Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Whats this engine loom connector for

« on: 01 January 2026, 18:56:35 »

I had a look online at a park solonoid, it looks to be a different connection. The black one I think might have been for the snow / winter button. The white one i havent quite worked out yet.

Any normal person would leave them but i want to remove all unused connections from the looms to satisfy my ocd

I’m told that one was for the starter inhibitor. Auto related

Have a couple more if anyone can tell me what they’re for 2x below the gearstick, possibly automatic related? Thanks

I found this one for sale on ebay, it doesnt seem to have the 3 fixing nuts as in the original diagram. Hopefully theres 2 bolts on the engine bay side where the top lugs are and it can split from the rest 


Thanks for the tips and advice, will have a go at it tomorrow & will report back if & when its out! Its nice to still have a forum thats still pretty active & plenty of help, any others i was on years ago slowly but surely died a death a long time ago

Has anyone ever removed the housing for the pollen filter? Is it done from the engine bay side or up behind the dash? If it has to be from behind the dash I presume its a pig of a job

Omega General Help / Rear Abs pickup ring specs

« on: 15 November 2025, 23:26:04 »

Been looking for new abs rings for my rear shafts on my 3.0 v6 as mine are broke, checked all the usual places such as autodoc etc seemingly no where has any.

Came across these ones earlier, would any know if these will fit? I stupidly binned my broken ones so cant check Thanks!

Omega General Help / Re: Oem Lower control arms ( Wishbones )

« on: 10 July 2025, 05:45:46 »

i’ll just replace with new then as there does look to be a slight bend as mentioned. I wouldn’t have thought at 24 years old they would be oem anyway but was worth a check, I did find Nos Gm arms at £280 plus shipping from America but hard to justify that cost. Cheers

Omega General Help / Oem Lower control arms ( Wishbones )

« on: 09 July 2025, 06:49:13 »

Removed my bottom arms as i’m refreshing my suspension, if the arms were oem i was going to rebuild then with Polybushes & as i’m told the after market arms don’t last.

Upon removing I can’t see any part numbers or gm stamping or any other parts manufacture stamping. Are these likely to be oem or just another generic brand?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Whats this engine loom connector for

« on: 29 May 2025, 18:33:39 »

My car was a 3.2 automatic & has been converted to a 3.0 Manual, seemed to be a lot of unused plugs most likely from the auto so im removing them from the loom. Took photos of all unused but missed this one.

Cant remember if it was plugged in somewhere or if it was something to do with the automatic gearbox, 1 wire is blue/green & other is green/black

Omega General Help / Re: V6 oil cooler pipes

« on: 29 May 2025, 01:26:32 »

Omega General Help / V6 oil cooler pipes

« on: 25 May 2025, 01:04:52 »

Anyone changed the oil cooler pipes with engine & gearbox in situ?

Fitted new oil cooler to my car but when removing the oil pipes the union had seized to the pipe and, was using a crows foot & ended up ringing the nut so resorted to cutting the pipe.

Trying to get the new ones wiggled through but everything seems to be in the way, gearbox, steering arms, chassis legs etc.

Working off a set of ramps that lift the car about 12 inches if even that much & the car is lowered so don’t really want to be pulling exhausts etc off atm as theres not alot of room.

If anyone has done this please shed some light
