Omega General Help / Knocking from RH front wheel?

« on: 15 October 2010, 18:15:23 »

Hello All

Any one help?
When I turn right, I get a knocking noise from the offside front wheel, which gets progressively louder more i turn in. and also I can feel the knocking. When driving in a straight line or turning left NO SOUND.
I have had a look and i can see nothing fouling on the tyre or wheel?
Any one had this problem or got any suggestions?
Thanks

Well, i have replaced the alarm power sounder and the fault still carried on.
The fault had been caused by the door lock solonoid.
The solonoid had failed completely.
i replaced the solonoid and all this week the alarm has been OK. now the alarm LED lights up in the normal manner as discribed in the Manual.
Ive not metered the old solonoid, but i suspect it has a short circuit, causing a current drop which then was sensed by the alarm and causing the alarm to give a system error warning.
I know my neighbours are pleased that its all working OK again LOL.

Hope this information helps anyone else with this problem.

Chears Rob... will check it out.

Where is the Alarm Battery on these?

and is it a specific battery type (vauxhall part only) or available generally?

Omega General Help / Alarm LED?

The Alarm keeps going off randomly. I know the door lock solonoid has failed but sure if this will be having an effect?
When I lock the doors, the Alarm LED just flashes rapidly for 10 seconds? then after about once a second. Is this correct?
Should it not be just on solid for the first 10 seconds?

I checked the bonnet/boot and door switches, they are functioning correctly.
Just trying now with the ultrasonic sensors off.
The Alarm will not switch off when the key is pressed. and has been going off whilst driving too.
Could This be caused by the alarm battery failing? or is the alarm unit buggered?

Any help greatly received.

Hello to everyone,

I have just purchased a 2.5 V6 CDX 1999 T Reg, Full Main Dealer History, in Immaculate condition.
Im living in Germany, British Forces... So before i can legally drive it over here, i have got to change the headlights for European ones.
All part of the Forces regulations... so i am reduced to looking at it for the moment till all the lights and paper work are sorted. But cant wait to get it out on the AutoBahn...
Once ive got the new lights (Angel Eyes 8-) ) on it I'll post some pics...
Tschuss
Gareth.
