V6 cooling vents
« on: 15 April 2008, 17:01:48 »
Hi All!

I've a facelift Omega 3.0 (X30XE) with manual transmission, the model year is 2000.
There are 3 cooling vents in the car (2 push and 1 draw vents)
Is there a same vents in a non facelift X30XE cars? - can I use it or not?
Does it possible to replace the bearings in the vents?
Unfortunately the working drawing vent sounds horrible....
Could anyone give me right information?

Give it a good spray with some silicone lubricant,that should work as probably just gunged-up.

Hmm...The vents are rotating... so I think there should be bearings somewhere...
But you are right there was 2 questions:
1, Comaptible or not?
2, Does it possible to replace the bearings inside the vents/fans?

Sorry I can't explain better because my native language is not the English...  :-X

In Hungary the "auxiliary fans" are called /toló - push/ and main fan transleted to /szívó- pull/.

Szia Zoli!  [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]


It is possible to remove the plastic blades of the fan and replace the electric motor component....but perhaps the best advice is to reclaim fans from another car that has completed time of use.

Yes thanks. But my dealer said there is no possible to buy only the motor.
In Hungary att this time easier to find fans/vents for B1 Omega like B2...
Could anyone check and send me part/GM number for fans from her/his B1? (3.0 manual)

Are you use a translation program?  :'(

There are members of this forum whom break apart cars at the end of the vehicle`s life and sell the individual parts....there might be a person whom will sell to you and postal-deliver just the electric motor component so you may make the replacement there in B.P

There are always quite a number of people whom are breaking apart cars to sell the parts.  :y
