  • Omega B – X30XE – motor crank core at 2000-2500U/min

    Hello people, Hello screwdriver !!!!! I could use a few tips regarding my engine of the 3L X30XE and please only from screwdrivers who really understand something about it. The problem is that it only starts to crack at 2-2500 rpm. In idle and over 2500 revolutions it is gone. The steering times, marking on crankshaft and marking on cam match 100 per match. Oil tank was taken off, no chips or similar found. In the oil, no traces of bearing damage (copper discoloration) So far I have 4 different views: the one said (master) piston tipper of the second crankshaft Opel said maybel. Tightening roller of the tooth belt the next said hydroslotches I am so slowly despairing, especially now the car, engine half open and nox, camshaft (both right) because the noise is strongest, are no grooves and cams also make a good impression. Who knows about it or who can give help.

  • Omega B – Limo – Need information about rear axle bearings.

    Since my Omi has been giving bad polter noises from the rear axle for a few days now, it is now clear; the elephant feet must be new. Dto. also the shock absorbers. As far as everything is clear, now my question, it makes sense to exchange the rubber-metal composite bearings in the triangle handlebar as well as the stabilizers of the rear axle equally with it? If yes, how big is the effort with the triangle handlebars? Stabilagers are, I think, no problem, Stößis either. Have only found posts here about elephant feet. Stößis are probably Bilstein B 4 or KYB, rubber bearing either Meyle or Lemförder. Second question about springs. The springs are installed with rubber bearings or rubber discs. Are there different strengths with Opel with these parts. At the Daimler W 126 the things were from 05 cm to 2.0 or even 2.5 cm thick. Have found in the Ecat so right nothing. Thanks in advance for sound feedback.

  • Omega B – Transmission oil change during manual transmission (R28)

    Hello, my brother drives the same vehicle as me. But he can be switched harder, just when the vehicle is cold. He has now 160tkm down and probably the transmission oil has never been replaced. I drove the Opel F28 6-speed gearbox with my Kadett Turbo and Calibra Turbo at that time. There I also had the problem that he could be switched cold rather hard. In the LET forum Castrol SMX-S was recommended to me at that time as transmission oil. After changing the F28 transmissions BUTTERWEICH could be switched! There he was cold better switchable than before warm with the old oil! My question, what do you take with the Omega B switch? If I can believe opel-infos.de so have F28 and R28 (what I and my brother drive) both a transmission oil of the specification “SAE 75W-85 API GL4”. So I would buy now 2 liters of the Castrol SMX-S (means differently by now: http://www.amazon.de/…/B005K95XL2) and fill in. Or there are better recommendations for the HAD oil, but for the same as well as well as well as well as for the HAIR-D oil.

  • Omega B – Cigarette lighter socket exchange for another

    Moin municipality the following problem: I often use my smartphone as a navigator and therefore have to have it almost permanently on the charging current. For this reason I bought the third USB charger (once quite cheap, once in the middle price segment and once in the upper price segment) – but notice with all three devices that the cigarette lighter in the Omega is apparently differently constructed, as for example in the A4 of my father. Why do I think that? Because all three devices in the A4 are bomb-proof – in every position … in the Omega more or less loosely sluggish and in certain positions do not work at all, which leads to the fact that the charging current is interrupted again and again to the phone and then I have to finger again at the charger, so that he can perform his service. So I thought I would exchange the lighter in the Omega for another model, but does not know which one of you has had this problem and can call it a solution? Thank you

  • 2.5 DTI low power up to approx. 2000 rpm.

    Hello, I have the following problem and indeed my 2.5 DTI with manual gearbox up to 2000 rpm. hardly any power. The turbo was changed already, the old one was fixed the shovel wheel adjustment. After that I found that the intake bridge was leaking. I have changed these now also with a used one. With my FOH the error memory was read out already, the exhaust system for possible constipations checked and the following parts tested by test: pressure sensor, LMM. Pressure box to control the turbocharger etc. Unfortunately, all without any significant success. I am currently with my Latin at the end. Besides, I have the impression that the power is used from time to time. However, I am not sure about this. Does anyone have any idea what else I could check? Can it be that the tube between turbocharger and AGR is leaking? That has about half way up a plug connection. However, there is no noticeable noise, which would indicate an undecidity. Oh from 2000 onwards the Ommi goes as before and without problem reached the maximum speed.

  • Switching the wire harness dashboard

    Hello dear community, in advance I have to thank you for the many tips and tricks.And I hope that I can participate actively. Now to my problem. Have a radio installed in my Omega today. On the way home there was a cable fire. Probably some cables with damaged insulation??? The cable fire is quite advanced and I think I need a wire harness. Does anyone have a guide and tips to change the wire harness? I am grateful for any help. PS: How far the radio is affected I don’t know yet. Michi
