Omega General Help / Oil leak from throttle body 2.2 petrol

« on: 03 December 2022, 21:54:53 »

I have oil on the inlet manifold and believe it is from where the throttle body joins the inlet manifold, but why would there be oil there? I have checked and cleaned the breather pipes and they were unobstructed. Any ideas

Omega General Help / 2002 2.2 auto engine cooling

« on: 19 November 2022, 19:32:12 »

Firstly the car runs great after I rebuilt the cylinder head during the summer, I changed the thermostat as well and there are no leaks, but the gauge hardly rises unless I have been driving for ages then it sits nicely in the middle. Is it just the sender being tired and sending inaccurate info? Or could it be the wrong thermostat as the one I fitted was the same as was in there but wrong according to euro car parts ( different fittings) I have ordered both temperature sensors and plan to change them when I get a chance, do you think it will make a difference? Would be nice is the needle went up to the middle and stayed there

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / radio reception, forgive me

« on: 09 October 2022, 11:21:53 »

I have read past posts but not sure what the best definite solution is, my 2002 saloon has rubbish reception when the heated window is on but its not brilliant normally, my car is a saloon with the bee sting aerial, if the aerial is in the HRW what does the bee sting do as I have no phone fitted or sat nav?, i understand there is a signal amplifier under the parcel shelf, is this easy to get to and has anyone got any pics?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Heater fan speed strange problem

« on: 12 September 2022, 20:44:30 »

2002 2.2 facelift

The air con doesn’t work ( needs gas I think) the fan speeds act like they are on auto ( full speed) unless the interior temp is set to match the outside temp then I can adjust the fan speed as normal!   Otherwise the blower is full on, no matter what settings I try, any ideas? I have searched but not found a similar problem

Omega General Help / Help! Help! Omega 2.2 petrol auto 2002

« on: 26 July 2022, 12:48:21 »

I bought this car while back to drive when I get my impending knee replacement op. I have been driving it a few weeks and the engine light was coming on when starting so was clearing it each time and it was a dream to drive, sooo I thought I would be clever and change the cam shaft sensor cos thats the code I was getting P0300, bought one and fitted it and it would not start, put old sensor back and still nothing! It seems to have petrol on the plugs but doesn’t sound like it’s firing. The coil pack was not touched when I changed the sensor, frankly I am stumped! Any suggestions as to what I may have disturbed?

Omega General Help / Pesky p0340 code

« on: 16 July 2022, 16:43:23 »

I have searched the forum and am undecided as to whether to change it, car is a 2.2 petrol auto 2002, which I have only recently started driving, starts and runs ok but I may be imagining it but seems a bit flat when the engine light comes on, there is just this code, could it be possibly a thing else or shall I just man up and change it?
