Omega General Help / Re: Acceleration Issue 2.2 dti

« on: 14 October 2012, 22:02:35 »

Just had a similar problem on a friend’s 2.2DTI, check the vacuum pipes to the turbo (one was split at the rubber end) and the intercooler hoses for splits (it may not be instantly noticeable so try getting someone to press the accelerator whilst you check for air leaks), I also needed to replace the CPS (this was the main fault on my friend’s car).

Hope this is of assistance

Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / Wanted: 2.2 DTI Sump Pan

« on: 27 September 2012, 15:59:13 »

Hi Guys,

As I'm not even close to 250 posts I'm posting in the test area hoping to have it moved 

I'm looking for a Sump pan for an Omega 2.2 DTI 2002, the one on my fiends omega is very badly corroded and starting to sweat oil, so won't be long before it lets go all together and leaks, just wondered if anyone was willing to part with one and give me a price + postage to Aberdeen.

Many thanks in advance.

Omega General Help / Omega 2.2 DTI loss of power problems

« on: 13 September 2012, 13:51:57 »

Guys

I've just been handed (temporarily) an Omega 2.2 DTI to try to resolve some running problems (whilst the owners on holiday) and I'm just wondering if there's any experts living close to Aberdeen/shire who'd be willing to assist if I get stuck or need a sounding board to bounce ideas off,

Hopefully there's someone close willing to assist

Omega General Help / Re: Suspected problem with EGR system on a 2.2DTI

« on: 10 July 2012, 17:37:12 »

Many thanks to all for the reply's so far, I'll be in touch with my friend soon and arrange for her to come to my house for a look under the bonnet and check out the Maf sensor, boost sensor (if fitted) and the vacuum pipes and elbows and see where that gets me, I will of course post with feedback on all of the above to possibly help others, does anyone have the test procedure & correct readings for the Maf sensor and boost sensor to hand.

Many thanks again guys for the assistance thus far

Omega General Help / Suspected problem with EGR system on a 2.2DTI

« on: 08 July 2012, 13:56:49 »

Hi Guys,
A friend of mine has an Omega CD DTI estate 2002 2170 cc's (Manual)

The fault is the usual, driving all ok- eml light comes on and goes into limp home, switch off and leave for a second or 2 and all is ok and off you go, doesn't seem to have any real pattern  to it from what I can gather from herself.

She came to me last week and asked if I would have a Wee Look, so took a wee look (I've a Snap on Solus which can only read the basics and codes) the code retrieved was P0400 Critical System failure, looked on this forum and then cleaned the EGR Valve (didn't actually look that badly carboned), cleared the code and suggested she try it, she's just emailed to say it's the same, so advice please, will it require the removal of the plenum and a full/thorough clean of the egr system, if so how long will it take and what parts- gaskets will I need, I've not worked on this system before so any assistance would be most gratefully received (I've done a wee search and found a couple of posts).

I'm located in Westhill, Aberdeenshire.

Regards

Goz

Salutations to you all,

Just dropping in to say hi, I'm an ex Saab mech now a full time carer and Househusband, I've a friend with an Omega who's having a few problems and asked if I'd take a peek, so thought ok, now find a forum that knows what it's talking about, so here I am, I may be asking for some advice soon if that's ok, but mainly like the crack and banter from guys in the thick of it all.

My best regards to all
