Some stations have ATLs (automated test lanes) where the tester can do an MOT on his ownThis is what my MOTer has, just so he can advise something on the MOT, now that I always remove air fresheners.
(vibrate plates/shakers to rock suspension, mirrors to check rear lights etc )

P1600 is generic. You also need to look in other modules on same CAN - which on Omega is ABS and TCM... ...and this one is a manual, so that will possible give a clue...
The TC light is controlled by the ABS module, so that will definitely have a fault code stored as well. Its unlikely to be an ECU failure, as these are rare on Omegas. It could be bad programming, though. |

It measures output shaft speed. It gets input shaft speed from RPM signal. It compares these 2 figures, and knows what gear it thinks it is in, and if things don't correlate, throws a P0730 Incorrect Ratio and dumps the box in limp.

Must be a day for MOT passes - a pass on the Petrol Blue 3.2 Elite with clean bill of health and no advisories. In fact it created a lot of admiration from the other mechanics during its test..Congratulations on the MOT pass Great to get an advisory free pass on an Omega now with youngest ones being 20 years old Mine seems to get the most attention when filling it with fuel, loads of 'I used to have one of these, best car I ever had' and 'You don't see one of those very often' remarks. However, no one offers to pay for the fuel! |

Finished a head gasket repair on a friends 1.4 Turbo Zaf C. I guess that is the smaller vent hose from the top of coolant elbow at the gearbox end of the engine to the header tank? The hose end goes brittle and fractures, the part with the metal clip is actually (and rather crazy!) an adaptor with an O ring on it (easy to swap the O-ring), the main hose has a plastic clip integrated into the end |
