Omega General Help / Head Gasket

« on: 29 August 2008, 22:50:58 »

Hi guys, I think I may have the early signs of head gasket failure, in as much as I am loosing coolant, no apparent leaks any were, no leaks from matrix in vehicle no water in oil, to sum it up can not find a leak any were, so thinking maybe loosing it across water jacket and out through exhaust, but again no steam, so my question is if it is head gasket what are they like to do on a 2.2i petrol, do I need any special tools etc.

Omega General Help / tyre noise

« on: 22 July 2008, 10:19:51 »

Guys have terrible tyre noise on my car in fact sounds like a wheel bearing but have been assured it is not, noise does fade in and out on different road surfaces, current tyres are budget tyres called runways, just wondered what would be recommended still on a budget type tyre around the 60-70 pound mark with less noise.

Omega General Help / firmware updates

« on: 11 July 2008, 21:59:35 »

Well guys and gals just thought I would let you no the outcome of my firmware update. About 3 weeks ago I took my 2.2cdx over to jamie (the boy) at northampton who very kindly connected the tech 2 to my car and carried out a number of tests which were to find I had a problem with my cam sensor which has now been changed, eml light intermitantly on. We then proceeded to up date the gearbox software and the climate. I have to say to anybody thinking of doing this update do it. It is incredible the difference it makes my box now changes silky smooth feels like a brand new box but in reality it has done 124000 miles a definate new lease of life. The rest of the changes that were made were pretty suttle, but well worth it. Many thanks to jamie for sorting this for me.
