Omega General Help / Re: Windscreen washer jets one side not working

« on: 07 October 2007, 00:51:05 »

There is a filter in the washer bottle which if clogged can effect the jet efficiency. Pull the filter out and see if it needs a clean. Mine was located at the bottom of the washer bottle.

Omega General Help / Re: cam sensor on 2.2

« on: 24 August 2008, 09:13:14 »

Thanks for the comments. Replaced it yesterday. I couldn't reach it without moving the cambelt cover as the bolt to undo the sensor is below the camshaft cogs. All done and light has reset so hopefully trouble free motoring for a while.

Thanks Mark,
Is there a guide or is it self explanatory when you look at it.

Omega General Help / cam sensor on 2.2

« on: 22 August 2008, 12:19:19 »

I have had fault codes read recently as car was starting to play up a bit. It has identified cam sensor. I have ordered one and was wondering whether they are easy to replace or is it a garage job.

Thanks

Roger,
Thanks for the link. I have tried it a couple of times but just get Nissan sponsored sites on Go Daddy.com. Am I missing something.

On this particular occasion I needed the car fixed quickly, but I agree that a trip to Marks DTM in Nottingham would be the best option in the future if time permits.

Omega General Help / code reader advise

« on: 04 May 2008, 22:20:50 »

Can anyone recommend a decent code reader to buy that is easy to use and can read and reset codes. I had to go to the Stealers with a misfire and EML showing. Nearly two hours later, two very bored children and £107 worse off they had replaced my spark plugs. If I had had a code reader it would have cost me £12.

Can you help?

It is part of the emissions control system and is designed to get the CAT up to working temperature as quick as possible. Once this is done it switches off.

Omega General Help / Re: 2.0 or 2.5 Autos

« on: 05 May 2008, 21:39:32 »

I had a 2.0 for seven years and it was ultra reliable. Had a V6 for about 4 months. fast and smooth but then broke down. If reliability is more important than speed/power, then go for a 2.0, with service history of course. Got a 2.2 now and I love it.

« on: 05 May 2008, 21:30:45 »

Hope this isn't the same as my old V6. That started to rattle a few thousand miles after the head gaskets were done. I tried the same things as you, but it eventually threw one of the bottom shells out the piston. It was explained to me that by skimming the heads, it had increased the compression which had put more pressure on my old pistons which caused  one of them to fail. If you can't cure it soon, get it back to the garage who did your head gasket.

Omega General Help / Rusty spark plugs

« on: 05 May 2008, 08:20:11 »

I replaced my cars spark plugs about 2000 miles ago. Recently had a misfire and the stealers diagnosed plug failure on No 2 cylinder. They replaced all plugs, but I noticed the ones they had removed were rusty.

 I am not loosing any coolant so presume water is getting in there when it rains. Is the scuttle on the 2.2 a design fault or am I looking at the wrong thing?

Has anybody had the same problem and found a cure?

Thanks

Omega General Help / Could this be Crank sensor?

« on: 26 April 2008, 14:27:51 »

Could anybody help with just a little information. Wife drove car into town this morning and it started running rough.
This was very noticeable at tick-over, but seemed to get better when revved. Back on the drive it is running allot rougher than usual and when gears are selected and the revs drop it gets worse. The engine light has illuminated and stays on.

No fault codes as I do not have a reader.

Has anybody experienced a similar problem? Reading posts over the year I vaguely remember crank sensor having this effect.

Thanks for any help.

Sorry to butt in on this tread, but can you tell me at what mileage or age the auto gearbox oil and filter need replacing. Mines coming up to 47,000 and 5 years old.

Thanks
