Omega General Help / Re: Fault code 62
« on: 21 August 2007, 15:59:59 »
Right i have soldered the wire back together, have started the engine and letting it run to get warm, will the code auto clear, as some of them do, or will i have to get it reset?????

How will i know if it is working????

Could this be the reason I have had a petrol smell in the cabin???

Thanks, Mark.  :y

Hi again, Just had a look, is it a smallish black box about 1.5 inch square with 2 vac pipes attached and a red connector, if so it was just dahgling there, where does it fix to????

Also the conector has one of the wires broken, so this may be the problem then... woohoo...

I am now going to fix the wire... thanks, Mark.   :D

Omega General Help / Calibra slow starter
« on: 20 August 2007, 10:52:31 »
Hi All,

I know its not an omega, But the wifes calibra is playing up, and hopefully someone can help.

Its a calibra 2.0ltr 16v the one with the red cover, it starts fine when cold, but when it gets warm, its difficult to start, in the way that it seems stuck, and the starter motor is having diffculty turning it.
It's hard to explain it, it sort of goes... rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr  rrrrrr rrr rr r then starts,

Any ideas anyone, I have put a new battery on it so that is ok!!!

Its a K reg (92) done 160,000 miles..

Thanks in advance, Mark.  :y :y :y

If it's a fault i don't know, but second hand they are not easy to get hold off....

I have been searching for 4 months now, bought 3 and all as bad as the first one...

I know they are £300 new, and can go for as much as £100 on ebay....

Might just need re flashing, if so there are people on here who can do it, if it has a grey plug, mine is yellow and cant be done.

Not much help but, you never now.

Thanks, Mark.  :y

To be honest i dont really know, he had it for 4 hours, i know he took the heatshield off cause its got new bolts on it.

He said the ticking noise i heard is deffinately a lifter, and he can clean them for me for £100.

he only charged me a tenner too, cos nothing was wrong.

But i am still no closer to getting this Lambda sensor problem sorted, anyone know if they come out ok and are cleanble/servicable???

Right i have had some one check the manifold, he says it is ok, no cracks and the gasket is ok.

I have done 1700 miles since this thread started and all 4 codes are still there..

Any help please....

Just checked the EML light is always on.

Will get some one to look at the manifold, when i come back off holiday.

Also, the horn on the steering wheel does not work, someone has put a seperate swith on the side of the steering cowling for a horn, so maybe this could have something to do with the SRS, albeit it could be other one on the passenger side.

Thanks so far, Mark.  :y

So what do I need to do to start fixing these errors????

There is a loud ticking noise until warm, i have read on here that could be manifold cracked, so could this be the cause of the oxygen sensor???

And the other 3 codes what do they entail???

I can live without the airbags for now, get them sorted last...

Cheers, Mark  :y

Wonder if you bought the car like that, and previous owner/seller burned the tracks on purpose to hide the issue....

SRS needs to be read via Tech2.

The engine codes, if you were nearer, I would clear and see what reoccurs. The Lamda looks worrying, esp with your eastern location, and shit fuel in Feb....

I read on a site that if you switch the car on for 5 sces and off again 30 times it resets the codes, is this true???? read it on..... http://www.topbuzz.co.uk/info/fault_codes/fault_codes.htm .

What you mean it looks worrying?????  :( :( :(

The car does run ok, its a bit rough, but ok, got to got to chichester in it tommorow on holiday.. :(
Have done 3000 miles in it since I have had it, get appr 32-35mpg in it.  :)
Thanks, Mark.  :y

Hi,

Well I never did.... I fixed my dash this morning, had a burnt track on it, so soldered it together, now some of the lights on the das that did not work do now, which includes the SRS light and the EML, So I thought Bugger, or something along those lines anyway.

I did a paperclip test, could only do it with the engine off, would not work with the engine running, and these are the codes i got, any help in getting these lights off would be a great help, thanks in advance....

37 Check Light circuit
38 Oxygen sensor circuit
52 Check light Fault code lamp
62 Fuel tank vent valve

And what can i do about the SRS light????

Thanks Agian, Mark.  :y

I went from Mine (Thetford) to bournemouth two weeks ago, my average was 36.8, thats with a knackered lamda sensor, and the dreaded M25 for 52 miles.....  :y :y :y

Very impressed with the mileage on this car, knocks spots of my BMW 318TI i had before it.

 ;D

They are easy to remove, but are not really fixable.

To Remove:

Remove the air vents on the left of the dash, they just pull out with pliers, there are 2 screws behind it, take them out and remove the unit, there is one screw for the dash.
Remove the air vent on the right of the dash, the same way as the last one.
Remove the top piece of plasic cowling from the behind the sterring wheel, 2 screws, need to turn the steering wheel to access them, they are hiding under plastic covers. then there is a screw for the dash under that.

Then the dash should just pull out, there is no, speedo cable to worry about as its electronic, just a wire for the MID Dispaly, thats it the dash is out.

Now for repairing the MID, its not really servicable, but if it is just the odd pixel flashing , it might just need more pressure to the ribbon.

If you open up the unit, 4x plastic push clips, just take the back off. Then you will have to unsolder the 3 metal prongs for the time adjustment.
then the whole insides will come out, now if you look at where the ribbon is connected to the PCB, not the LCD end, on the white plastic box it is sitting on, there is a clear rubber band, you just need to put a tie clip or something similar underneath that, just to hold the ribbon to the board tighter, then re-assemble, and give it a try.

Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesent.... Made mine a bit better, but not perfect, but then I had about 30 pixels missing, more than were showing, and at least I can read it sort off, now.

Hope this helps, Thanks, Mark.  :y :y :y
