Omega General Help / Re: Starting to hack me off now!
« on: 11 June 2009, 11:49:11 »
Thanks Kevin. It only seemed to start after my cat was changed, although it was making so much noise I may have missed it. I have now done an oil & filter change and the noise is still there. The car was stood for 7 months, rta, before I got it back on the road I wonder if that has any bearing on the problem? I have a genuine vaux sensor that I will try at the weekend. I would appreciate coming to see you for tech 2 diagnosis - please let me know when you are available

Hello all, Just got my car back from the garage. New cat fitted the other was blocked. I now have quite a loud tapping noise that I assume is the lifters. The garage advised an oil filter change & flush plus an additive called lifter treatment. I will try this at the weekend. I am now having start from cold issues as well as the odd cut out at slow speed again!! I will re-fit my new vaux crank sensor again, I took it off last time because the car ran worse than with the old one! I am still getting code 135 & 19 any other thoughts would be much appreciated..... :-/

Just the off side, seems a bit pricey looking at the link. Looks like around £80 labour on top of the price.

Is there anything that you can use to replace the heat shields and perhaps wrap around in their place?

Hi,Blimey I would drive very carefully to the nearest garage
Thanks for all your feedback.
With regards to the cambelt, the prevous owner said that he had it done about a year ago, but yesterday he said that was wrong and it was the fan belt. He never had the cambelt done!!!!
I beleive it hasnt been changed since 40K!!!!!
or do it your self [/highlight]

Sorry, when you say remove the system do you mean the part that runs across the front of the engine?

Yes it's just a small piece of rubber that connects the pipes together. it must have got realy hot as it burst through some realy thick rubber pipe after a couple of miles. If my exhaust is blocked what then? sounds expensive??

Well this is odd. I replaced the burst pipe and tried the EGR off my other Miggy- still the same probs. So I replaced my new crank sensor with the old one and it runs. What is going on here? any ideas please? I'm expecting it to start playing up again. Unusual if the new Vaux sensor is duff eh? :-/The rubber pipe has burst again I ony replaced it last night! Any ideas please chaps ? I used thick rubber hose - I assume it gets hot, do I need a particular type of hose? Stressed!

Kevin what are the main simptoms of a faulty crank sensor?Mathewst -My engine would cut out every now and again when I stopped at junctions etc.
I would gladly do a paperclip test but on my model that is not possible
