…..a little virtual Christmas present to all users here in the Omega / Senator – Forum You want to know what? Look past here on Saturday evening. From Saturday evening: wishes, suggestions, improvements, thanks and congratulations PLEASE post all in this thread. Thank you.

The engine had the problem so far, that it sprang in cold “state” after the preliminary annealing without problems and with a working warm engine for ever he used to sprang up and then he ran. Meanwhile he has his problem with jumping even after the preliminary annealing and sometimes he jumps on but goes off again about 1-2seconds after the jump or goes out partly when I let him roll out and brake off. And the day before yesterday it was time, I stood with the car in the middle of the Stadtz I didn’t want to go home again, but I made the calculation without the Omega. It was still a little warm (it didn’t glow accordingly), then I let him laugh for a while as always, when he still didn’t jump in after about 15-20 seconds, I interrupted, waited briefly and then tried again and did nothing again. Then I tried it a third time and then gave up the battery. So I called the ADAC and started to do it again. When he came after more than an hour he connected his “start-up device”, waited something for the battery to regenerate a little and tried to start the car. Then he jumped again willingly. The breakdown helper then waited for a while, turned off the engine and then wanted it to start normally over the vehicle battery and again did not happen except that it started to smoke it to the left of the engine very startk (though already the chapter engine would have done). he connected his starting aid device and the Omega strangely drew his 100Ah battery empty within a very short time and again did not happen anything but strong agony from the engine compartment. Then I was towed almost an hour later again to the only Opel dealer in Braunschweig, one was extremely embarrassing:-((As if all this wasn’t bad enough then I drove to the FOH Friday morning and inquired about the Omega and nobody saw it there. Then after almost 45 minutes waiting, a “workshop man” came out and tried to get started, but didn’t even give the battery a moment to regenerate. He immediately said, “we can’t do anything there, he doesn’t start and I don’t look after it before next week.” I was served but then made a workshop assignment. Then my friend called in the workshop, were even more unfriendly to him and on because of that I decided to get the car away from there and if I had to push the just over 1.8tons across BS once. Suddenly the Omega then somehow jumped on. Next week he gets a new battery but nevertheless I drive also almost 300km to nem FOH where I was already a few times with my old Mazda and my mother brings her Vectra there if he has something. Because something can definitely not be right about the engine. The ADAC soon suspects one of the many sensors and signaling devices on the engine and that the control unit gets a wrong signal.

Where do I find out which ABS control unit fits with me?Should I give some different notes that my predecessor has removed it…that’s why the speedometer and the odometer as well as the TC don’t seem to work anymore…and don’t stop the ABS

Hello Leutz, I would have asked a few questions about coolers! I don’t have the A Omega 2L Bj 91. Water cooler was broken, so I bought the scrap metal – for the Fuffi. Jetz is also broken against me and can only get the water cooler without a balance tank! Can I use the one with…. Can I also install the other one?? Should still work, because the dimensions and connections are the same. – I think ^^- Only the balance tank would be clamped off… but that would be with the cooler then anyway unw ichtig!!?????? Would be nice if you could tell me if it really works… I am grateful for every tip!!!! Why were the Omegas built from 93 without compensation tanks……? The question is not so important, but would interest me nevertheless!!! Thanks already to all Gruss Jens

Hi Leutz, now that my Omi hasn’t done much bitching for the last 15 months, he gives it to me now 🙁 Omega A, 2.0l, 8V, first series, ORIGINAL 112tkm Friday off, everything normal. This morning in, trying to start, everything normal, only the engine gives no sign of life! Organt quite normal (battery was good), but no sign that there is any explosion happening somewhere. Luckily, my wife didn’t need her car ;-). This evening then immediately the usual suspect the gas pump relay, and with the adapter cable the three thick plugs bridged. Gasoline pump ran already once, you can hear, but he didn’t jump on. So tomorrow with the motorcycle to work :-(, woman needs her car tomorrow, unfortunately. My next step would be to hang the fuel hose at the front of the pump and see if really fuel comes (some tips where best?). Next, see if he also ignites (kerze out). Had something else at Christmas so what hot tips would you have as next steps?? gruss, pierre PS: please, if I only screw around the thing the next few days, the Christmas peace at home is strongly endangered, so, every tip I don’t have to disassemble the whole cart is helpful! 🙂 🙂

Today I picked up my 2.2 l Facer Caravan , after installation of a Prins VSI 2 from the retrofitter. Conversion has been done very well, there was nothing to complain about. after the first 100Km I was surprised car ran flawlessly. A performance loss was not to be noticed,if at all,very low. Hope it stays that way.

Hello, an old well-known problem, blind headlights in front, I removed the plastic disc, neither clean nor polish a change, was clear, but you can try one thing If you can remove the things, then there should also be to buy them???? The search in the net was unsuccessful, at E B.. did I find some for 39 mosquitoes, one knows away or rather fingers away? Greetings Armin

What I plan to do: change the AR25 DG transmission to an AR25 BD with my 2.0l 8v caravan. The gearbox is already at home and has to be prepared now, i.e. sealed. In addition, of course, it gets a new filter. The filter/sealing set has already been ordered and also a new radial sealing ring for the gear shaft and a new simmering on the oil pump has been ordered. I have now ordered the “new” G I will use the converter from the old gearbox, if it has not entered. I would have a few questions to the experts: 1.) I also have to convert the oil pipes from the old to the new gearbox, since the two lines were squeezed during transport (see pictures) and I fear there is too little oil going to the cooler. What do you think? A pipe – is attached to a hollow screw I think and the other My question is whether I need gaskets or something like this with these connections. 2.) Question: Do I have something else important to forget? Do I have to renew the 3 Torx screws with which the cardan shaft is flanged? These should be de-screws. And the converter screws? Have you read where to fix them with screw glue. Is this necessary? and the 3rd and most important question: WO to the vulture has the 8v the engine suspension??? It would be woh l advisable to hang the engine from above with harnesses or something like that so that it doesn’t fall on my head, but I’m too stupid and can’t find a bracket or anything like that. Where can I rest the harnesses on the engine without engine suspension, or is it too well hidden for me? Can I support it from below as an alternative, like oil pan? Please forgive me, that’s my first gear change, but it’s pulled through, it’s at all costs! lg blescha

Hello together. Got delivered today the Omega of an acquaintance. Crank housing has a beautiful hole. Now there is a motor replacement. At a Vectra with ecotec machine I am just in the last trains, it was very tight. At the Omega B with ecotec engine seems to me to be more space. Only here you can not get to the wiring and gear screws on the spray wall. Has someone ever removed a 2liter ecotec motor from an Omega B and if so how? Motor Getr Is it complete? Up or down? I would be very happy about reviews. Thank you in advance and many greetings from Steini

Hello! I drive an Omega Caravan Sport 2.5TD EZ. 08.2000. I am really very satisfied with the Omega (apart from the Navi and the CID, which I am sending today to repair) however, as for the Xenon some fraga arise: With nem Vectra B and some other vehicles with Xenon I know that the headlights first “run down” a little and then adjust themselves to the loading accordingly and the Omega does not do that, is that normal? I have so the Feeling that the automatic light range regulation only sporadically works and yesterday the Omega broke for the first time a message in the color info display but then not again. I had the headlights adjusted last week and after that the light was no longer “clamped” directly in front of the car and only on the floor but it lit up and it then became as I know it from other cars traffic signs and posts intensively illuminated and now I have the feeling that it’s turned down again? Does someone know what this box or much more is missing from the stupid Xenon? Hope I can be helped by anyone, because those at Opel are unfortunately too stupid – and you can’t ask about the 2.5TD either, especially if they’re missing something
