Omega General Help / Re: Car Pulling to the left

Was the steering wheel straightened and clamped before alignment,if so car is not aligned properly.I would recommend a 4 wheel alignment and also check the correct part was fitted
No mate. They didnt clamp the wheel before tracking the car. Is this why my steering wheel isn't straight either. Do most trye places do this 4 wheel alignment then i.e quickfit for example

Didnt get a four wheel track? There is no abnormal wear on the tyres and the pressure is fine to. what about the wheel not being straight, what would cause this?

Hi. My car is pulling really bad to the left, I have had it tracked but this has made no difference at all. Its also had a new track rod arm fitted (tracked after). I have also noticed the steering wheel isn't straight. Any idea's.

QuoteNice one M8 will try that first. As I live in Stoke on Trent does anyone know of anyone who can give my car a tune up. Dont want to take it to Greenhous or main dealer as I would probably have to re-mortgage!

Are these easy to do or do you need special tools etc

Omega General Help / Black Smoke
« on: 28 September 2009, 19:50:52 »
Hi guys.
I have an Omega 2.0cdx (1999) with nearly 150,000 on the clock. I have recently noticed when the engine is warm and I put my foot down there seems to be alot of smoke coming from the exhaust, the engine runs fine and is very quite. It has a full service history from day one. As I am not very mechanical minded could anyone give me a few possibilities of what is causing this. Could this be the oil rings need changing or something? any help would be most appreciated. I have also noticed when the car is ticking over there is a funny smell from the exhaust ??

A very quick and probably easy answer. Need to replace the bulbs on my car. I know the dipped is a H1 fitting but I am struggling to get the main beam lamp out. This is a 2 pronged lamp is this a H7. Also are the fogs a H1 fitting as I am going to replace the whole lot. 1998 CDX omega estate.
My manuals dont tell me what lamps are fitted to the car, great.
Any Bright idea's guys.......................

Thanks for that buddy, got a mate who can clear that for me. Is the car OK to drive though. IE no risk of a fire or something silly like that. This is my first mig so only just getting to know how it all works. New lights look good though.................

Thanks for the tips guys. The heaters were working fine before a swapped the 5 bulbs in ecc unit. I have also noticed that the engine temperature is getting very warm very quickly.
Will any of the above have an effect on this. Maybe something has come loose or trapped like you have said. Is the Vac pipe the one that has two wires coming out of it, sits at the front of the ecc unit.
Also tried synchronising the air valve servo motors but this has done nothing. Do you think its worth stripping it down to make sure nothing is trapped or come off. Bought a Haynes manual today but that does not give any problem solving. So I am back to the guys who know. Sorry :-? :-?
