Omega General Help / can't unlock doors!!

« on: 04 January 2010, 14:19:30 »

Hi. The cold weather has killed the battery on my 96 Omega and I can't unlock the doors. Turning the lock in the drivers door doesn't unlock the door. I unlocked the boot and climbed through the back seats but can't unlock the doors from the inside either!! Tried pulling the lock button up as well as opening the door the usual way with the handle but nothing happens on any doors. Is the only way i can solve it by changing/charging the battery first??

Isn't error code 89 the one you always get when doing the paperclip test with the engine off?

I've just gone and got a haynes manual and found that the pipe i'm on about is the "secondary air injection system connecting pipe", which goes into the right hand (left looking from the front of the car) exhaust manifold at 2 points. The leak looks like it's definitely coming from that area but would oil be in that pipe???

Omega General Help / oil leak help needed

« on: 12 December 2009, 12:02:26 »

Hi, i've got an oil leak on my omega 3.0 but, not knowing much about anything i don't know what the bit it's leaking from is or how to stop it. Hopefully someone can help me. Again. Looking down on the engine from the front of the car. There's a rubber hose from the coolant expansion tank to a big fat hose. slightly below that and to the right is a shiny(ish) silver metal pipe running part way along the side of the engine then goes round the front. Anyway, along the side of the engine it branches off (90 degrees) at 2 points and goes into something which might be the manifold (?) Oil is leaking at the point where the furthest bit of pipe goes into what might be the manifold. It looks like some sort of clamp affair makes the join and has about 3 bolts round it. Anybody know what the hell i'm on about, what the bits are and how i stop the oil seeping out of them. I can't really see enough to be able to work it out by studying it. Any help kwould be really appreciated as the oil heats up rapidly and the smoke pouring out the bonnet is rather embarassing as well as worrying. Thanks all
