Omega General Help / Re: 2.0 P Reg Omega No power from engine

« on: 21 April 2009, 15:48:01 »

Hi,
Just thought i would update people as to whats happened, just in case other people have anything like this happen to them.

I carried out a full service on the car (spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter, oil and filter cost £24 from Halfords know someone there with discount card!), and car started running ok, then problem came back, and had engine waring light come on.

Took it to a mechanic friend of mine, who drove it, and within 20 seconds said it was air flow managment unit. That the bit between the air filter and the air intake.

Have a new one on order, and will let you know what the out come is.

Omega General Help / 2.0 P Reg Omega No power from engine

« on: 30 March 2009, 10:29:12 »

Hi,

I don't post here that often, but i have what i think may be a major problem with the car, and i hope some people here can help.

Over the weekend i was driving around and thing were fine. But the the car started loosing power, and acting odd. Now i have a perminant problem, and don't know what to do.

I drive a P Reg 2.0 Auto Petrol.

When i start the car, it is fine. Engine not exactly smooth, but no major issue. I can rev the car (when gear in parked), and it revs smoothly and no problems.

When i drive, if i put my foot down a bit, the engine judders badly and has very little grunt. Where as in the past it had a good uptake to get to 30, 60 or whatever, now i have to take it really easy and takes about 20 seconds to get to 30mph.

When i get up to speed, and ease of the throttle, the car is fine. I drove on motorways, and although it took a while to get to 70, when at 70 and i've eased of the power, it's as smooth as anything. But if i try to give it some extra juice, even just a little bit extra on the pedal, the engine judders like crazy.

If at speed and i want to speed up, my best bet is to floor it (literally), and yes it does still judder, but not half as bad, but still very slow on the uptake.

This is the same if i drive in Eco, Normal or sports mode. It is also the same if i use the Auto gearbox, or the manual ' 1,2,3'.

Can anyone shed any light on what this problem may be?

Thanks in advance.

Omega General Help / Re: Replaced Battery, Still can't get in car!!!!

« on: 19 January 2009, 09:12:22 »

Just sorted the problem.

Was able to climb in through the boot, put key in ignition and alarm stopped, doors unlocked. Was then able to resync the fob.

Wasn't very good with everyone going to school, and me climbing in through the boot with the alarm going!!! Was expecting old bill, but thankfully noone called them!!

Omega General Help / Replaced Battery, Still can't get in car!!!!

« on: 19 January 2009, 08:04:17 »

Hi all,

I put a post up here yesterday to ask how i can get into a car with a totally flat battery, when the key won't work work in the door. Well i got in the car, got battery out, charged it over night, and have just put it back in the car.....

But, when i connect the positive terminal, the alarm goes mad. So i tried unlocking with the key fob, but that didn't work, and the key still won't work in the door.

Do i need to re-sync the key fob? If so, is that done by sitting in drivers seat, turning on ignition and pressing unlock button? And can i do this with the alarm going off?

Or do i need to do something totally different?

Many Thanks

Omega General Help / Re: Flat Battery, How do i get it out???

« on: 18 January 2009, 11:47:17 »

Hi All,

Thanks for your help so far. I'm pleased to say i sorted the problem.

I didn't really want to kick down the centre bit, so raided the wifes clothes airer and bent a bit of wire to release a seat (not easy with 2 child seats fitted), then reached in and unlocked the centre bit.

Then was able to get through and unlock bonnet. Now got bat on charge.

I did try the key in the lock, but it was breaking. Will have to sort that out once the battery is back on.

Thanks

Omega General Help / Flat Battery, How do i get it out???

« on: 18 January 2009, 10:41:56 »

Hi,

I have had a search on this forum for answers to this questions, but with no luck.

I have a P Reg Omega, and i believe the battery is flat. I can't unlock with the key fob, and the key won't turn in the drivers door.

I can unlock the boot, and i thought it would be easy to just climb through. Only problem being is that my son has locked the central seat in place, and i can see no way of getting throgh.

Does anyone have any ideas how i can get into the car, to pop the bonnet and get the battery out?

Is there a secret release switch somewhere?

Thanks in advance.
