Omega General Help / Engine Warning light after Breather Clean

« on: 27 June 2016, 13:08:33 »

Hi,

i have a 2.5 V6 GLS Auto Omega. did the breather clean (and it needed it) and whilst i was there i changed the spark plugs.

put everything back together and the engine warning light is on. now i havent had a chance to get a reader/do the paperclip trick on it (Time, Rain and my dinner was ready)

i checked and rechecked all plugs/hoses and they all seem fine. when i fist started the car after putting it together it ran fine no lights, it wasnt till i drove it 1/2 mile that the warning light came on. car drives fine, pulls in all gears and seems to be a little smoother.

i'm just seeing if anyone has any ideas before i can get home to have another look

Omega General Help / 2.5L V6 Petrol Auto - Gearbox breather

« on: 25 April 2016, 12:51:51 »

1999 2.5L V6 Auto (Pre Facelift)

there is pipe on top of the engine which is leaking a very small amount of oil, mainly when drive over 30mph. I believe its the Autobox oil breather. is this normal? its annoying as it smokes whilst burning the oil. I want to do a gearbox oil change when I service the car. but it seems that its never wanted for anything.

a brief history of the car.

its been a funeral directors limo for the last 17 year. and has probably not been driven faster than 40mph. its done a genuine 46000 miles.

thanks for any help.

Hi,

I have just bought a Omega GLS Auto Limo, LOL. Not yet picked up, going to get and drive it 170 miles home. then worry about parking it. Bought it for a Rally I am doing later in the year, and well it came up and I bought it.

going to be sorting any mechanical issues it may have, as its a 2000 mile round trip, and I want as little hassle as possible. I know very little about the car I bought, except it a GLS, its done 46,000 miles and sometimes it "jumps out of gear". being an Auto and I see Autos as witchcraft I hope this is a easy (cheap) fix. it will be up for sale after the rally.

I am relatively spanner happy.

any way hi
