Omega General Help / Tracking
« on: 10 November 2010, 15:55:57 »
I have no idea what the tracking should be, I have replaced the wish bones and the tracking has gone from toe out to toe in with no alterations to other components.
Just a rough idea would be great as other bits will probably need sorting before its worth setting up probably, thanks.

Omega General Help / Kangeroo forwards but great backwards!
« on: 29 October 2010, 19:49:20 »
I have picked up an old omega 2.5td, with a problem which is driving me nuts. The car will not drive forward above say 10mph without violent lurching. The engine revs like normal in neutral and the engine is normal in reverse.
The engine warning light always goes out, which could be the first time I have wanted a warning light to stay on. The accelerator pedal sensor has been dismantled and is perfect, shame. The ecu may have a seperate map for reverse which may explane the problem and means the ecu is bust. If you have ever come across anything like this or have any ideas that would be a great help.
Problem solved thank the lord, two great big bundles of wires just behind the battery had rubbed against each other great design, just hope no damage to rest of electrics.

Hello,
I do not want to be negative about these guides as I have had to use just about every one and have been impressed by some of the photos of hard to see bits. The advice about camber is incorrect if you do the maths and I have standard wheels the measurements will give near to 2 degrees. The cleaning of diesel injectors states that the copper washers should be replaced, BMW do not list them as a part, a diesel engine specialist did not have any even in the odd washers draw, and he has never changed them saying that you just clean the seating areas bit of copper slip and do them up tight. There is no torque settings, no explanation of cleaning out the area around or in the injector thread area. The idea of using two spanners to split the body of the injector and standing on them, bad idea. I do not want to be negative as I said earlier but some of the advice can get you into trouble.
