Omega General Help / Re: removing the lift pump

« on: 24 March 2012, 23:23:03 »

Thanks Seth, will try that tomorrow.

Hi everyone,
I followed the guide for this but despite having removed the c-shaped plastic clip I can't seem to release the return pipe, damn thing won't come off, and I don't want to break the black quick release clip bit.

That's because you need to press the said clip forwards to release the transfer pipe elbow from the T-piece.
Don't remove it!

If you look closely at the 'horse shoe' clip, it has serrations along the edge of it for your thumb to grip.
You may well find that it's quite difficult to refit this clip with the assembly in situ within the tank. If you fail to refit it, you'll need to remove the complete swirl pot assembly from the tank base, and refit it thence. There are four clips involved, and ideally the tank needs to be totally emptied of fuel to locate them.
Towards the end of the Maintenance Guide there's a diagram/picture that shows these.

Good luck!

Would the admins please move this to the parts section, It wouldn't let me create it there.

I need a flywheel for the manual td, as I seem to be getting a vibration on idle, it comes and goes randomly, I suspect its the dmf

Omega General Help / Needle lift sensor injector wire cut

Whilst trying to remove the injector, managed to get the wire sheared right off, before i solder the ends back together, can the two pairs of wire be joined to each other either way round?

Omega General Help / Re: Very poor mpg on 2.5td facelift

« on: 21 January 2012, 17:00:13 »

coolant temp always hovers around 80 depending on whether you have the climate control drawing heat from it or not.

Outside temp as you know is quite low these days, -2.5 to 10 degrees centigrade

I certainly don't get 44 on the motorway, have checked several times now by measuring the amount of fuel i'm putting in with a lab flask.  The maximum I got out of it was 37mpg whilst driving at an aboslute rock steady 60.  No agressive acceleration either.

Omega General Help / Very poor mpg on 2.5td facelift

« on: 21 January 2012, 13:09:29 »

Hello everyone,

I've have a 2.5 td face lift 2000 mig and I'm getting around 30mpg around town, about 34 on the motorway.  This seems a lot less than the preface lift 1995 one I use to have.

Secondly, when you turn the engine off, engine cuts out immediately, now some of you might think its odd that i should find this odd.  But normally when you turn the engine off it stops running almost immediately, with a sort of tapering off as the last solitary cylinder fires.  Now imagine if you had some thing causing friction, or causing some sort of a load on the engine, then it would cut out immediately, this is what i'm getting, I wonder if you anyone else knows what i'm talking about.

I have also changed, plus, all filters but not much difference in mpg.

Omega General Help / Re: TD won't rev above 1800rpm

« on: 03 November 2011, 21:03:51 »

it was partially blocked fuel filter/lines.  A friend of the seller fixed it for him, he then wanted 700 for, twice what we agreed on so I didn't buy it.

thanks everyone.

Omega General Help / Re: TD won't rev above 1800rpm

« on: 29 October 2011, 22:31:51 »

I'm not offended chaps.  I had a manual td mig before and i loved the car, or rather the engine.  It had a bit of an accident, so i bought another one but it was an auto, had so much grief with that.  I just need a cheap td mig, manual, so if I could sort out this one and pic it up for 300, it would do me well for a year atleast.

Now any ideas on the problem at hand or is it going to be another round of laughs?

How do you tell and ar25 from ar35 and what year did the omega td get the ar35?

What would be the reason for the car when 'D' or 'R' is selected, there is delay before drive is delivered and you have to use more revs to make it move. Once in motion the car drives ok?

thanks

Omega General Help / automatic gearbox leak

« on: 24 August 2011, 16:20:52 »

Hello everyone,

If an automatic gearbox has spewed out all the oil from the front seal, is there any chance I could replace the seal and top it up with fresh oil and it will work?  I need to know if there is any way working out if the torque converter and gearbox are ok, the gearbox is an ar25.

thanks
