Omega General Help / Shift Solenoid PO758

« on: 13 February 2024, 18:40:31 »

I have started getting this code again, once cleared its fine but a few minutes later its back up, with the spanner light on, and i'm limping. Shift solenoid 'B' apparently.
Had this before at the same time as a wiring issue, then i understood it was fixed.

How difficult is this to change? If I took the sump off, what would i be looking at?
This is assuming there are parts available.

Omega General Help / Car wont turn over

« on: 13 August 2023, 20:14:20 »

So after running fine, I went to start the car and all I got is a relay click from the engine bay.
If it turned over slowly or starter clicked Id have an idea, but its just dead.

Battery is good.

Omega General Help / Washer bottle pump

« on: 10 November 2021, 21:07:56 »

I tried cleaning out the washer system and in doing so managed to push the gromit through in to the reservior.  Not the actual pump, i think its the level sensor.
I cant find a gromit to match, so do i remove the entire reservior? Any bright ideas?

Omega General Help / Lpg tank temporary removal.

« on: 12 January 2021, 19:25:22 »

The next thing on the list is that the mot tester failed the car on some welding around the o/s/r shock absorber.
He has refused to do the welding with the lpg tank in the boot, which i understand, but also wont remove the tank himself, saying i would have to do it and it should be quite straightforward.
Now the car is stuck at his garage, without an mot, and is 3 miles away.

Is it possible to remove the tank myself, have him do the welding, then replace the tank myself?
It doesnt look that bad but i have no experience with lpg.

I havent used the tank in a long time, but i realise there would be some gas left?

I would really appreciate any thoughts on this as i dont know what is the best bet.

Omega General Help / Glowing exhaust/cat.

« on: 11 January 2021, 22:11:25 »

The offside exhaust was glowing red hot i noticed tonight, just about where it bends almost 90 degrees.
Is this just below the first cat?
It happens to be the side that has been throwing up codes for a missfire.

Any ideas guys? Is it blocked?
Obviously i will need to replace it, can anybody point me in the right direction? I didnt want to use ebay..

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / No rear fogs.

« on: 02 January 2021, 14:24:18 »

My rear fog lights have failed the mot.
The thing is that the switch doesnt light up when pressed. Fuse 28 has been changed and is good.
Reverse still works so i guess its not the bootlid loom, which looks ok.

Headlamp switch i wonder?

Omega General Help / Missfire codes.

« on: 16 December 2020, 19:07:40 »

I have 300, 301, 303 and 305 codes appearing,
I have a coil on the way, (genuine bosch) as its been 5 years since i last changed it, and i shall check the plugs, although they arent that old, and look at the wiring.
Can anyone tell me why it happens when cold, and when the engine is warm it drives normally?

Also i have the Mot on friday, and the coil isnt coming till saturday.
Will the engine light be a problem when it comes on during the test?

Omega General Help / Washer bottle pump

« on: 28 November 2020, 15:35:10 »

When removing the pumps to try and clean the washer bottle out (washers blocked), i pulled the pipe off and managed to snap the plastic bit off.
I was wondering if they are all the same? Loads on ebay, but im not sure.
I have the mot due and need one in a hurry.
