Dear All,
I have a question, 6 months ago I bought my seconed Omega a 2001 2.2cd, I fell in love with it the moment I viewed it, and bought it in my mind before money was exchanged.......you know the feeling.....about 4 weeks into owning it the battery went, not a problem, replaced it then I got the engine mangement symbol and the other warning symbol, the one with a spanner in it. This happened at Asda car park with about 30 cars behind me, it went into a shut down mode, I lost all
power in 'D' and had to use 1st to move it. eventually I got it home using 1st and 2nd gear. I had no money to get it fixed so I tried the pin test.....Im not sure if this worked but after a 2 day static period, It was out of the limp mode and fine.....
The management light came on and off, but it happened on my frontera so it did'nt bother me too much, the car was running fine. Eventually the engine management light stayed on all the time but the car was fine. I payed a garage £25 on Friday to clear the code as MOT was dou.....he said the code was problem with CAT and gearbox. but he cheched oil in gearbox and said it was fine.
The service history suggests this has been a problem for a while as the CAT code keeps coming up, however the CAT is fine and has been tested in the past and my car passed its MOT......My car this Saturday defaulted back into this limp mode bang in the middle of a busy high street.........I managed to get home in 1st after about 10 attempts, as it kept stallingm in D, I love my car but Im loosing confidence in it, can anyone suggest a top tip..........sorry for the epic
