OMEGA B CARAVAN 3.0 MV6, Built 1996, 219000 TKM: My cylinder head gaskets will be changed in the next few days, as the old ones look like a Swiss cheese (rather worse). What are the risks after the installation of the new cylinder head gaskets, since then the “pressure conditions” should be optimal again? Should I consider any “drive-in instructions” in the first time (if yes, how long?)? Of course, all other gaskets in the engine are also replaced (Ve Ntil cover seal, valve shaft seals, water pump seal etc. etc.). Exhaust valves are also exchanged, as 2 pcs. are “platt”. Exhaust manifolds are also exchanged including seals (due to “obligatory cracks” in the same…). Teeth belts (including all necessary) are also exchanged. Thanks in advance for opinions, suggestions, useful information. Greeting MV6Streetmachine

Hello I drive a 97s 2.5 Omega Caravan. I bought the car used. When I took the car I noticed that the TC and ABS lamp lit. Besides, the speedo didn’t go either. The battery was empty and we had to give start-up help. So I thought that might be because of the tension. After about half an hour on the highway the two warning lights went out and the speedo went out again, but only about 10 minutes. After that I finished. Next day I built d the battery of my sister (was a little one from the Astra with 40 Ah). On the first trip the speedometer went again until I turned off the car again. After that was over again. Now I got a new battery with 70 Ah, but unfortunately the speedometer still does not go and the two lamps shine again. I measured the rear ABS sensors, but they seem to be ok. I also cleaned the things roughly. But still the same sch …e. Today I have the error sp He spits out the following faeces: 49 power supply voltage high I then measured the voltage on the battery with a multimeter. However, the voltage does not exceed 14,15 V. Please ask for help

Hello wanted to introduce me briefly… so I am the Patrick, am 23 years old and in many forums well known under the nickname Caravandriver. Here I was also once signed up with the Nick but seems not to be active anymore *kopfkratz* I already count myself among the crazier Omega drivers currently own an Evo 500, an L40, a combo, 2 “normal” Limo’s and an Irmscher Senator. all 24V’s, 3 of them 3L and 3 of them 4L now I go to read a bit… Greeting Patric k

So me and my Omi(2.5 V6 Caravan), that is slowly becoming a hate love. Today I have been sleeping smoothly, thank God only for a quarter of an hour. So I dispensed with coffee and breakfast and turned into the Omi and ignition key… Yes and now? Starter rotates and rotates but car doesn’t start… Of all things now. After about 5 minutes of desperate attempts I hear how the battery is getting so slowly but surely weaker. OK I then gave up and called colleagues, the Shit! Chef called, of course he’s pissed off and off on the train. So 15 minutes were 3 hours late. What’s my mom again???

Hello to each other, this week big problem with my Omega B, 2.5TD, EZ98. First we noticed that the automatic climate control was no longer possible. Well, nothing wild thought about it. About 100km further loud noises from the engine compartment. After half an hour in the garage was found the offender. The climate compressor is driven over the dental rib belt. The belt runs over a turning roller, in which in turn a rotating disc – a kind of clutch – runs along. This clutch is more or less fell off, that is, the screw with which it is attached has broken down. Thus, the clutch falls forward and strips the big fan that sits behind the cooler. The next day to the friendly one who has removed the clutch so that it does not break the fan. Now unfortunately no air conditioner any more. And that, where now finally the summer should come back. Did any of you already have this damage case? Can it be repaired without the compre ssor to be completely removed (it’s quite tight there)? It seems that the rest of the screw is still stuck in the shaft that drives the compressor. Is that even repairable? The friendly one thinks, better like a new climate compressor. Costs new approx. 1000€. Without installation. Would be nice to get some information from you. Thanks already for your help, Markus

Hi guys, just come back from TÜV… AU passed my omi, which surprised me But unfortunately I didn’t get the HU seal Here’s a picture of the U-report:http://www.abload.de/img/tfffqw7.jpg “serious defects” uff I wouldn’t have thought that would be expensive again I think you can do a few things yourself ? Lack 402 will probably be the least evil greeting The Omega-tor

Hello, how best, I would solve everything first up, and then the cardan shaft and then the car on a lifting car, sit down and then solve everything down, i.e. front axle with shock absorber ? without braking system. Or another better tip. Lg. Kalle Ps. Didn’t want to get out of this time again to the top.

Hi guys, I know it’s a very strange thread but I don’t know what to do. For about 14 days I’ve had a fat spider web in the driver’s mirror every morning. I’ll say now…..”naja shoot it properly with the high-pressure cleaner”….yes I’ve done 2 times and the next morning the little monster has recovered and made a new net. I’ve also tried to drive the cattle out with compressed air but it finds it totally kl asses in the outside mirror….clear is also heated… he really annoyed…! Maybe someone has a home remedy against the little animals. greetings

Hello dear Omega-community, I have the following problem, for some time now the motor accounts light up with me. Since today it is so that the engine control lights up permanently at each start. I tried to read out a error code (instruction from another thread here in the forum), unfortunately it did not work or it was not saved, because the lamp did not flash but only illuminated. In a overtaking attempt today (kickdown) I had power loss and the car jerked like crazy, as if it can no longer switch on = very dangerous the thing. Have had in two weeks 1000 Euro repair costs with the cars already, slowly I lose the confidence in this car! What can that be? Drive an Omega B 2l 16V automatic year 1998 with 150 tkm. lg. Shany
