  • Mount wear parts of V6 in 2,2 16?!

    hello, I have the following problem: with my omega b caravan 2,2 16v facelift the front axle is somehow spongy while driving. have a fk winch suspension, 17 inches wheels from the executive with 235 tyres and 1cm track plates installed. now my question: can it be that the carrying joints, track rods cross handlebars… are too weak and makes sense to install these parts of the v6, since these are probably stronger due to the higher weight of the v6?!

  • new heat exchanger clatters !?!

    Hi Leutz, wanted to change my heat exchanger yesterday. When I unpacked the new (Behr) I noticed that something is clapping in the WT when you shake it. Sounds like there’s a loose part flying around in it. However, since I can’t imagine at my best that there should be something in there that could be clapping, I wanted to ask the experts reading here to confirm if I was right before I do stress at the supplier. I can’t see what that could be. , and you can turn the part, turn it around, shake it… .etc as you want, it won’t come out. So, can that be that there’s a loose part in the WT, which actually belongs in there, or has nothing to clatter as I suppose? Thank you and nice Sunday, pierre

  • Omega B 2.5 V6 cylinder head overtake ????

    Hello to all experts and screwdrivers I will have some questions in the next few days because I decided to open my engine. He has been having quite a bit of trouble lately. However, since I am still very attached to it 🙂 I also want to invest something and drive it for some time. The first question I have is the special tool for this engine. Because I am well equipped for such things only this engine is after all something more special than normal 4 cylinders. I know that I already need special things for the timing belt. E.g. the camshafts & crankshafts blocking (is already ordered), but where can I get the adjustment instruction for the control times?? so that I can adjust the steering rollers??? hope someone can help me further… LG Benny

  • Automatic C30SE Senator, in sport mode S light starts flashing!!!!?????????

    Hello, I got my absolute dream car today, my top-maintained Senator 3.0 24v automatic year 92, 163thousand down with tuv, full equipment except leather etc….Has an old man driven. So I got the car today in Dortmund and drove towards Mittelhessen-Marburg, all 1a so far, only if you push the S Tase and accelerate in sport mode times, say a kickdown, starts the S Tase to blink and he switch no more… then e.g. if you drive stand still zb.3. or 4th driving stage on… but I didn’t really start because I don’t want to do that to the gearbox…. When you restart your car everything is top…you don’t keep your fingers off the sports button blinking!!!! WHAT CAN THAT BE??????? Thank you for your help 🙂

  • Ad Blue pump broken

    After 4 months ago the Dieselkat for ‘dezente’ 1k7 teu had to be replaced, now comes the next hammer: the adblue pump has the service acknowledged (or only crystallised) what abe means the same: complete Adblue tank unit new, pump gives net separately and is also net disassembled, costs 1k3€! And now the Oberhammer: Delivery time uncertain, no one knows nothing exact net! This is the Absolute Obergau, DDR 4.0!!! Now I have to delete all 1000km to the workshop 1x error, because otherwise after 1200km ‘Game over’. That doesn’t seem to be an unknown problem with Stellantis, a customer of mine has a jumper with exactly the same problem, there the delivery ‘only’ took 8 months 🙁 For ‘happiness’ this is my 4m car. If I retire next year, everything is definitely out of Stelantis!

  • Car rental Opel Grandland

    Moin, I currently have a rental car from the Grandland, because my Focus Mk3 had a rear impact and is in the workshop. I’m not really thrilled…. – The radio makes you crazy: connect Bluetooth, ignition off and on again, radio. Time and again, as soon as you interrupt the ignition, it jumps back on radio and does not stay in Bluetooth. You get crazy about it when this happens every time you ride. – Is there actually noc in 2022 (ok, or year 2020 or so) h Cars that can’t open and close all 4 windows with a long pressure on the remote control? Yes, the Grandland. – Speaking of windows: What’s this design, where the driver’s door gets the lowered disc 5 mm high when it’s completely down, and thus presses at the elbow? – The tank watch does what it wants: After 100 km and a little down at once again to completely full and after full fuelling then 3 mm below maximum. OK, that may be a defect and not a design problem. – The three-cylinder noise feels funny in such a large SUV, but the car can’t be anything like that. – Terrible plastic snare on the door handles. Positive: -Fries well, brake well, looks good, that’s fine, but the details up there are rather strange for a modern car.

  • Diesel tipped into Super Petrol

    Hy people, I drive Opel Omega B 2 liters 16 V, the car is 12 years old. I tipped in diesel fuel and I am with DRIVER. Of course I got really bad and now I have a lot of horror, now the car is standing in the yard and doesn’t start (oh man). Short info: Had 1-2 liters Super petrol as a rest in it. Then I tipped after about 9 liters (Super)Diesel. Also normal, then it started: stutter, speed in the cellar, with kicked gas at the traffic light. and always keep the speed up. Question: 1. Can I vacuum the stuff and then refuel it? 2. Is it possible OR is something broken? 3. Does the Lamda probe break or the cat or are they already? Thanks…

  • Vehicle on test run?

    To our experts, what is watching during the dynamometer run? Have on the WE before the Omi times on the dynamometer admit the spores, to determine just what it brings, how far the tacho deviates, and how well the LPG system works. should you pay attention to anything?? oil before checking ect and warm driving is clear as well as the tires are fast enough for it. gruss Hannes

  • Decision-making aid for petrol companies

    Moin Moin all together, I’m now thinking of getting an Omega B Caravan petrol truck for the first time. Since I’ve only been driving 2.5 TD and 2.5 DTI so far, I don’t have any experience with the gasoline engines. I intend to secure one of the very last gasoline engines with absolute full equipment, as with the 2.5 DTI Executive. I have the following questions for you: – Which is the best gasoline engine, 2.6 or 3.2 liters – Are there or were there even bigger ones? standard engines, such as Irmscher for the Omega – Was there an Omega i Line series that ran regularly off the line or were these only attachments from Irmscher For the communication of your experiences I would be very grateful and certainly also a great help for my purchase decision.

  • Automatic gearbox jerking, part II

    Hello guys, I had an oil change with filter now, adaptation values reset. Omi still jerks. Was then with a FOH, is a good acquaintance of mine, has really bothered. With the factory on the phone, the lapidare answer best got a replacement transmission. The only thing we found out with TECH2, that the converter number at normal speed at about 8000 Umin then when he starts to jerk then it is only at 70, but still drives at the same speed ell. Question: Does someone know where the threshold is taken off and if you can reach the sensor somehow, possibly without a gear expansion. I imagine to my well-founded half-knowledge, if the part provides false data this might be the cause.
