Omega General Help / Re: Autobox rough 1st to 2nd

However, now it needs to have an oil change... More messy than difficult I suppose...

Dont forget to clean out the converter aswell. Very, very important

Omega General Help / Re: bio diesel

« on: 26 March 2009, 01:41:42 »

they now sell this at morrisons is it any good for my2,5 tractor?

First thing first:
Fuelconsumption will increase. Your filters will need replacement more often then driving on "regular" diesel.
Besides this, bio diesel normally contains 5% normal diesel I think it is. Arrest me if Im wrong.

Omega General Help / Re: Trouble with RPM, engine in emergency program?

« on: 26 March 2009, 14:49:25 »

yeah just try the paper clip method its dead simple andworks everytime, its then justa case of finding out what caused the fault code in the first place

Thats easy. I drove by the local Gm dealer, and there was 3 faultcodes, 1 for the antitheft and 1 for low voltage. (jumpstart the day before) and fault code for the crankshaft. (its the sensor which is telling if the engine are running or not. For some reason it could tell that the engine was running upto 2400 RPM, which lasted for about 30 minutes) I was on my way to a carparts shop in order to try to get the part, but ended up at the same place I started this morning.

Part nr 12387740. Fixed tomorrow.

Entwood : Is it possible to clear all faultcodes?
It could be so simple that, since the car was out of battery that ECU detected some inactive faults. Which in some cases, like I know trucks, could result in some funny results, usually the faults disappear when clearing the codes.  .......

When the fault has been repaired, the engine management light will go out itself. The only warning light that when triggered needs re-setting, is the airbag light.      

Im sorry about this missing, but vital info. There is no warninglights before the Rpm stutters at about 2200. When I let the speed drop to below max rpm, the enginelight goes out. So there is no faults before the engine reached 2200 RPM.
I know this is hard to read, but I hope there is possible to make some sense out of it!

Iainb Actually the car had the lifetime in ever colder parts of Sweden before I bought it! But I was into the same thoughts as you!
Since it did "wake" up when the temp dropped it looks like it has something to do with the airflow, since cold air are compressed...
But that dosent explain why I cant rev the enginge passed about 2200 rpm!

Omega General Help / Solved. Part nr 12387740 Trouble with RPM

« on: 25 March 2009, 22:02:18 »

I need some tips and help, and was hoping that the users on this forum might know the solution of the following problem:

I was picking up the car after work today, the car had been standing still for about 3 weeks, so a booster was needed. When I took off from the parkinglot I was only able to accelerate up to 1800 rpm before the yellow enginge indication was lid, and the sound was terrible when it peaked 1800 rpm. Temp was about -0,5C. Since everything was closed I drove nice and easy back home and the temp was going down to -6C It went up to about 2200 RPM and I was able to reach  about 90 km/h.

I tried to zero out any faults etc by loosing the batterycables and make a new groundpoint by holding the batterycables against each other for about 30 seconds.

None of this helped, and in my world all of this tending against air or maybe the RPM sensor?
The engine it self sounds normal and offcourse great up to 1900 RPM.

Car:
MV6 3.0 V6, year: 96.
Mileage: 245.000 KM
Oil level OK
Plugs(?) (Not sure about the correct english word) Not sure.

Thanks in advance. Please help my Omega!

Sorry if this question may have been asked and answered before, or if its wronposted!

Newbie Welcome Area / Re: Hello from ScaniaV8

« on: 11 April 2009, 06:40:50 »

Hi everyone,
Just saying hello as I am a new member. I have 'inherited' my fathers Omega 2.5CDX auto due to his illness. So no doubt I will be seeking some repair advice from all gurus on this site.

I work for Scania in Sweden, hence the username..(if only a V8 under the bonnet in the Omega eh?

cheers to all and have a good Easter everyone

Welcome to us Opel Owners! Former Södertälje (fill the appropriate word!) mechanic here.
What do you at Scania? assemblyline?

I'll guess our V6's are yelling when driven: Missing 2 missing 2! Haha

Welcome, my english is not always that great and it's my first language

Normal "chatting" and everyday talk are easy both written and spoken english.
Its harder for me to describe technical things, since my technical english are bad. Especially when it comes to tell what a certain censor or part in the engine are called!

The Omega Lotus was a straight 6

and looked like a Carlton allthough badged Omega.

In this country, badged Lotus Carlton. Opel varients were badged Lotus Omega (as Carlton was Omega-A)

I didn't know the Omega Lotus was a straight 6. The first car slips my mind is the BMW!

But a turbo on the V6 should be possible to sneak in?
Is there any point to convert to the open airfilter?

I guess you all know I am driving around in a MV6. A thought striked me, the "old" Omega Lotus has 370 HP if Im not mistaken?
And the engineblock is the same or identical to the one in the MV6?

Or have I the history wrong?

Not so much creative mindwork to google out my question?
