Omega General Help / Re: Eberspächer Heater 2.2Dti

« on: 06 January 2012, 10:02:11 »

Eber heater looks to be quite a nasty thing. Mine is not working, asked Eberspaecher for a check, they said to go to Opel Service to read error codes (Eber people saying that they are not able to do the readings with their gear), Opel Service said they are no able to read heater codes - no communication, so back to square one .

It is worth to check anyway the three way valve - on the coolant circuit, quite often it is leaking and coolant may flow on hoses to the main heater body.

Omega General Help / Maximum fuel capacity

« on: 05 January 2012, 08:13:48 »

What was the maximum amount of fuel which were you able to put in the tank? With any car I had (except Omega) I was able when getting (very) low on fuel, to fill the tank (in some cases with 10 liters! - Nissan Terrano II) over the "official" capacity. The Omega fuel tank is 75 liters but I was never able to fill the tank with more than 71 liters, even when the low fuel light was blinking (for quite a long time). Not to mention that I run out of fuel once because I didn't believe the flushing light ... oh, with a diesel engine...

« on: 03 January 2012, 12:36:29 »

Hello and a Happy New Year! I need 2 pieces of 12 V relays GM part No. 90543014 or catalog No. (german): 6238564. (For Opel Omega, to retrofit a rain sensor).

Also I need a RH (UK driver's side) boot lid lamp (the interior - in the boot - side, so if the exterior is broken it's ok - provided that the red/white exterior it's not glued on and can be replaced ).

Admin, please move to the spare parts area.

I mean: the tutorial is about a rain sensor installed in a prefacelift Omega, which initially  was not equipped with it.

Current (+ PIN 1 and neutral PIN 4 of the sensor) I've taken from the interior lights and pulled out all the other cable to the A-pillar on the driver's side down to the fuse box. There, then after switching to plan for rain sensor http://www.opelcars.de/forum/regensensor/mit_Regensensor.pdf (here the diagram without rain sensor for comparison http://www.opelcars.de/forum/regensensor/ohne_Regensensor.pdf) and then connected the relays and with power thieves the cable from the wiper switch tapped. In the engine compartment from the relay box nor the interval relay (a rather large yellow part) pulled out. And then to test spray water on it. If everything works you have it connected properly and you can grow the panels. So, that's it. If not then ask her that. MFG"

Looks that 2 relays are needed also. I don't speak German so I don't know whether the retrofit was done on a car with wiper speed wheel or not.

Yes, although it might be possible without replacing the windscreen, I will replace it (small crack on it and even worse, a lot of fine scratches, very disturbing during night driving )

Does anyone know how to retrofit a rain sensor? I've purchased the rain sensor and sensor housing. My Omega is a 2001 model (with intermittent wiper speed adjusting button).

Omega General Help / Re: Condensation inside car

« on: 28 November 2011, 08:44:41 »

Check that the  recirculation air valve is not closed so the air is recirculated in the cabin. It seems that on some older FL Omegas, when the windscreen defrost button is pressed, the air recirculation is automatically activated (software issue). If so, after the defrost button is pressed, press also once or twice the air recirculation knob (the one with arrows circle on it) - with the fan to maximum speed, when the air recirculation is not activated the fan noise is lower than when the air recirculation is on. It solved my windows condensation problem.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Single DIN head unit info please

« on: 18 November 2011, 10:25:30 »

There are Chinese HU 1 DIN, with motorized touch screen, USB, SD & a lot of other connections, also Navigation, at a price of around 400-450 pounds (would have to buy from eastern Europe or so, in UK as seen on internet they are charging 900 quids or more!). But no steering wheel controls for an Astra as old as yours.
