Omega General Help / I need fault code read locally please - anyone out there?..any advice?

« on: 13 November 2013, 13:32:10 »

Hi all, I am fishing around in the dark really trying to solve an eml light and loss of power problem ('02 2.2dti CDX est.)
The car has only now done 71k from new. As stated in previous post, I have removed the maf sensor and properly cleaned it, I have checked all the vacuum pipes for splits or bad connections, new air filter. I am located North Essex, any suggestions where I should take it for the fault codes, avoiding main dealers? What should I look at next? Thank you.

Omega General Help / 2.2 dti - eml running problem still - maf sensor?

« on: 11 November 2013, 10:08:05 »

Hi all, the shine on my lovely omega estate is starting to dull!
I have read a lot on here about the eml coming on and hence a loss of power and also about the maf sensor. I have been driving my car like this for months now....the eml comes on at tick over and at around 65-70 and unless its my imagination (which it isn't), going up slight gradients! I am looking at the maf sensor now - I have removed it and am cleaning it meticulously with iso alcohol. The air filter box will be cleaned and I have a new filter. My first question is: when I removed the maf sensor I disconnected it from the pipe which leads into the turbo charger. This pipe had a bit of oil settled in it, is that right/normal? Question 2: I know I should get the tech 2 gadget to read my code when the light is on...is there anybody in the Suffolk/Essex region who has one please? Thank you.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / 1. Coolant level.... 2. Multimeter.... advice please.

« on: 18 February 2012, 21:05:56 »

Any help & advice on the following would be much appreciated.

1. I have replaced the coolant reservoir/expansion tank because the "coolant level low" warning was on my dashboard display & I thought maybe it was the sensor in the reservoir. I also have a drain on the battery which was removed for charging & put back. Now on the dashboard it just says "coolant level" so I'm assuming it hasnt worked - what should I try next?
2. The drain on the battery needs to be investigated (I have already disconnected the notorious battery sounder). This is a new subject area for me, I need to purchase a multimeter & having looked on line, jeeps, I'm uncertain what to go for - there is such a huge choice & price spectrum. Any advice please? Thanks.

Omega General Help / X20DTH & X22DTH ?!

« on: 17 February 2012, 10:50:58 »

I've found a very useful link with diagrams of the engine compartment fuse/relay box but the diagram I'm looking at says X20DTH & the information I've received regarding the spec of my car states X22DTH. My car is a 2.2 litre which fits with the code I have. However, if I search this site using X22DTH nothing comes up. So, this has confused me (it doesn't take much clearly).. should the diagram I've been looking at read X22DTH or is there another engine type or is the code I have incorrect?

Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / Wanted @ a reasonable price working CCR 2006

« on: 15 February 2012, 11:30:11 »

Hello to everyone.
New member JDX here.
Having purchased my new car I am disappointed with the electrical problems Im having with it from the outset. I have fixed the central door locking & the sunroof & the coolant level warning (when the coolant level is good) but have had no success so far with the cd player not working. Thanks to Dave @ DND for his advice - it seems my unit is u/s - the carriage is jammed & cannot be repaired. Ideally, I do not want to change the look of the centre console by putting in a different type of unit, so Im hoping to locate a replacement CCR2006. Please let me know.....thanks.
