Omega General Help / Water in rear passenger footwell....help!!!
« on: 18 August 2008, 12:19:09 »
Hello Peeps,
Anybody have any clues as to where water might be getting into my Omega Estate?
During the heavy rain recently I am getting a large amount of water gathering in the rear passenger footwell. The most I've had is a couple of inches
Many thanks, Lee

Thanks for the reply...would a fuse cause an intermittent problem ?
Also when at a standstill increasing RPM seems to alleviate the problem ?

Omega General Help / Steering Problem
« on: 26 January 2008, 19:47:47 »
I have a 'w' reg 3.0ltr MV6 estate with 67k on the clock which has developed a fault with the steering.
At slow speeds the steering is very heavy and sometimes a noise is heard coming from the engine bay area.
Am I right in thinking that it could be the power steering pump that is at fault ? if not any ideas ?
If it is the pump is this something I could swap out myself ? if not what sort of cost am I looking at ?
Many thanks, Lee

Check pipes from Auxiliary air pump as these do split and give the same noise.Thanks mate...where might I locate the auxilary air pump ?

I will check with them tomorrow...I'm sure they said they used a 'kit' but what was in the kit I don't know.QuoteThe cam belt was changed by my local friendly mechanic...can check about what he used...what difference does it make ?Most mechanics think you can change the belt without any extra tools, as you can with most cars. GM V6 units must use the cam timing kit. If he didn't use one, get it done again immediately.
Did he simply change the belt, or did he change the belt along with tensioners and rollers? If he just did the belt, get it done again properly immediately (with tensioners).
I have drieven about 130 miles since it was done and all seems well.
Cheers, Lee

Firstly...thanks for all the replys
Right...it's a W/2000 3.0 MV6 estate with just under 60k on the clock.
I only bought it 2 months ago and it had a full service shortly after I bought it.
The cam belt was changed by my local friendly mechanic...can check about what he used...what difference does it make ?
I was thinking exhaust and had a quick look at the tail end and there does seem to be some corrosion where the tail pipes meet the backbox...can't really see the rest.
If a new exhaust is in order...what sort of price are they ? and what about aftermarket stainless pipes ?
Cheers, Lee

Omega General Help / Strange noise @ >3000RPM
« on: 28 December 2006, 11:25:41 »
I have recently noticed that the exhaust noise becomes much loader/rougher as I reach 3000RPM and then as the revs drop back down it makes another odd noise kinda like it's blowing ?
It's not easy to describe...you need to hear it really.
Apart from that everything seems to still be fine with no loss of power.
I started noticing it shortly after I changed the cam belt.
Any ideas ?
