Ive been out today and fitted my new sensor that i bought from Vauxhall, it now only shows F oC, before it read - 18 oC. What could be the problem?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Auxillary Water Pump

« on: 12 March 2010, 10:27:52 »

Hiya all

I think my auxillary water pump is at fault for my heating issues as when i bypassed it the heating was luke warm. Im putting that down to the water passing through the matrix to quick due to no flow control.
NOW
When i had the pump out i wired her up to a supply and SURPRISE SURPRISE the pump doesnt work.
Would this be the issue if im right in thinking?

Omega General Help / Cheap Rocker Cover Gaskets

« on: 20 April 2010, 23:52:32 »

Went to my local parts supplier CES Ltd and purchased a pair of Rocker Cover Gaskets for my Omega MV6, they have lasted 3000 miles!! WHY??

Is it because they are cheap immitations? They felt a tad bit slimmer than GM ones!!

GM are charging £67 for a pair,is there anywhere cheaper or do i just add a bonding agent to the cheaper alternative?

Many Thanks

Allan

Omega General Help / Tramline Issue

« on: 30 March 2010, 23:27:34 »

Hello everyone

Ive recently fitted my MV6 with 235/45/19's with 5mm spacers and longer bolts all round.
The car looks the nuts and drives superb on smooth roads BUT on country roads she tends to pull all over the place.
Is there anything i can do to prevent this?

« on: 26 March 2010, 20:31:25 »

Did they do a version for the Omega the same as the Vectra CDX's? Built in Glovebox and Standard Headunit?

How much do they go for second hand?

Omega General Help / Re: NOT AN OMEGA BUT STILL A VX

Can do a paper clip test

I had to remove the oil cooler feed and return pipe to give enough slack for the oil cooler to pass the pipework from between the heads

Omega General Help / NOT AN OMEGA BUT STILL A VX

« on: 20 February 2010, 21:02:53 »

I have recently rebuilt my missus Vectra V6 replacing the heads and gaskets, spark plugs, timing belt kit and she runs sweet as a nut WHEN WARM

The car struggles to start in the morning popping and stalling. When she eventually starts correctly she runs like a dream. The timing is spot on, everything is tight including all vacumm hoses and air ducting. The only thing that has been moved is the crank sensor to help replace the oil cooler. I have also replaced the Dispack. What do you think the problem could be?

CRANK SENSOR?
